May 28, 200916 yr I think a nice driver would be your best bet... As the old saying goes...keep it simple, stupid. Chris
May 28, 200916 yr Hah, Camino sounds like GM in his latest above comment. Ouch, sorry bud.:AH-HA_wink:
May 28, 200916 yr We'll the 2 Door Yukon that was over in Wapato Washington about 3hr drive away is out. I got some internal pics and an update on the vehicle. It was owned and then a little over a year ago sold to another person who drove it and turned it in. At that time, the front seats were so torn, cig burns, and stains that they put in replacements from the junk yard. The back seat is so bad it would have to be thrown out and the cargo area looks like a war went off in that section. So I am passing on it, clearly who ever got it probably got it in great shape internally just like it is externally but then trashed it before trading it in. I talked to them about a lower price as the front windsheild is also cracked and needs to be replaced. They said they are firm on the 4995 price. So guess I might just be off to California to check out the non smokers black Yukon GT with leather interior.

May 28, 200916 yr I think a nice driver would be your best bet... As the old saying goes...keep it simple, stupid. Chris Abbreviated: KISS.
May 29, 200916 yr When you get it sorted out, I'll drop over to PA and buy you lunch and we can take her for a spin. Just tell me you have a good Deli, Pizzaria, or Italian and we are all set. Chris

Chris Sounds like a plan. Plenty of food establishments to chose from around here, but my first choice is always a diner.
May 29, 200916 yr Sounds like a plan. Plenty of food establishments to chose from around here, but my first choice is always a diner. What about a drive in or dive?
May 29, 200916 yr The black GT was sweet! Yup I am leaning that way now and it is the original owner who is Non Smoker and garage kept. I can live with the 140K miles as I have double that on my Suburban. Will keep you all updated.
May 29, 200916 yr Author Yup I am leaning that way now and it is the original owner who is Non Smoker and garage kept. I can live with the 140K miles as I have double that on my Suburban. Will keep you all updated. Desireable and rare. I will be jealous.
May 29, 200916 yr Sounds like a plan. Plenty of food establishments to chose from around here, but my first choice is always a diner. You should take him to that restaurant that we went to when Fly came up for his Buick... the one with the great roastbeef sandwiches. Speaking of that, Camino, you should host a BBQ for C&Gers at your place/barn in conjunction with a local car show... I'm sure that would be a great way to get a bunch of us C&Gers together. I'd be willing to chip in with the food costs (I don't expect you to have to do it alone), and I'm sure others on here would do the same if they were coming. What do you think??
May 29, 200916 yr I'd like to have some C and G get togethers. I am actually driving to Philly tomorrow...if anyone wants to hook up late Saturday or early Sunday. Not sure where you live 'blu, or Viper, or Oldsmoboi, or.... But yeah, we could have get togethers. I'd like to have a few guys out to Ohio to see the Air Force Museeum in Dayton (which is fabulous) and autocross with either our local SCCA group or the Buckeye Miata Club. We have a few good places to eat around here...there is a great redneck biker bar just a few miles from my house that is a lot of fun to go to and they have great cheap food. We could also have a get together here in Ohio sometime and link it up with a race at Mid Ohio. Chris

May 29, 200916 yr I am 2812 miles from Philly. I'm only 2384 miles from Philly. But my Mustangs are about 75 miles from Pittsburgh Int'l Airport..

Will keep you all updated. Great, I would love to see it with the factory wheels back on in tho! Good luck that one was my fav. even tho I am not a big fan of black cars.
May 29, 200916 yr Business trips do not count silly! Yeah, I know.. I'd love to go to a C&G meetup at something like the GM Nats at Carlisle! We have a few interesting winter events out here (Barrett-Jackson, etc) but nothing in the summer.

Good idea. I'd like to do the BBQ thing - maybe late summer?

May 29, 200916 yr Mid Ohio Vintage is the twenty eighth. Let me know if you'll be there...I'll try not to be on call that weekend. Chris
May 30, 200916 yr Author Mid Ohio Vintage is the twenty eighth. Let me know if you'll be there...I'll try not to be on call that weekend. Chris I won't be there, I can't leave the dogs so those days are over for me. The cars should be though, I'll check tomorrow.
June 13, 200916 yr Personally, I think you've got the big diesel truck, the blazer, the wagon, and the Camino which you will someday sell. Think maybe you might find one car you really want to keep and start putting your energies there? Chris

June 16, 200916 yr Author Glad to hear you have a barn full! Chris That I do. I snapped two pics of it on the trailer, then the batteries in my camera died. I'll take some more tomorrow.
June 16, 200916 yr I shouldn't be considering this either -- but it's very close to the one I owned before -- not fond of the green interior, but the outside is dead on. eBay link Edited June 16, 200916 yr by BigPontiac
June 16, 200916 yr That's one big beast! And the grille is metal, not plastic! My first V8 powered RWD car...a hardtop even. The look from the guy in the shiny IROC-Z or Trans AM when I'd blow his doors off in that thing was priceless! 440 and front disc brakes (running OEM spec bias plys in 1988...) Edited June 16, 200916 yr by BigPontiac
June 16, 200916 yr Author Oh, I know! A buddy of mine had a '71 Chrysler 300 coupe with that drivetrain that I spent some wheel time in.
June 16, 200916 yr Can't wait to see pics of it at its new home. Congrats Camino on finally getting your 2-door fullsize SUV!!
June 18, 200916 yr Author Sorry guys but it just keeps raining here when I have time to take pics. But here are the two shots of it on the trailer.
