May 21, 201213 yr Now see, you know what, that would be the perfect cruiser for me. 283 hints at a distinct lack of drama, just serenity, and those rims make it just far enough this side of grannymobile to be right on point.
May 21, 201213 yr I like this...my favorite year of Impala and favorite bodystyle...and I like brown (original paint). http://www.oldride.com/classic_cars/241961.html
May 22, 201213 yr That '67 has "just right" down to a science. I had a '71 Impala coupe in burnt orange with a white interior - hard to find now.
May 22, 201213 yr The owner named this car "Jackpot" I'd tend to agree. It's one of about 25 built. That's the Colorado one I saw back around '99...
May 22, 201213 yr I posted the truck above, a '57 GMC 370 chasis cab, in the Auctions/Classifieds thread last week. Here I am, still thinking about it this week (and checking CL to see if it's still there). I really want a 1/2 ton pickup, but this one has definitely caught my interest. Just far enough south of me to prevent me from seeing it in person right now.
May 23, 201213 yr Looking at the '67 Chevelle in this thread, it is difficult for me to remember a better looking, better proportioned automobile. Such effortless flow and harmony of line from front to back, with so much contemporary universal appeal. The Chevelle was the ultimate chameleon, as was stated recently by Camino. There will never be a car company with a design heritage as wholly rich with beauty as General Motors. HANDS DOWN.
May 23, 201213 yr ^ I would generally agree, esp WRT the era. I would have to give the GTO the nod WRT fRT & RR detailing, but yea. While I think the current Camaro is a really attractive piece, it's a bit overwraught, IMO. I doubt that going smaller next gen is going to help if the same heritage cues are used; at least they generally fit the current size. But there's just nothing tweakable on the Chevelle above- it's prime reason these cars don't get (tasteful) body mods today, as popular as they are. Really nothing to improve upon. There's a snowcone's chance in Hell we'll get back there again.
May 23, 201213 yr You guys know how much I love Chevelles (including the '67) , but I think that the '67 GTO just slightly edges past the Chevelle in styling. Surprised?
May 24, 201213 yr You guys know how much I love Chevelles (including the '67) , but I think that the '67 GTO just slightly edges past the Chevelle in styling. Surprised? No, not even from a die-hard Chevy guy; cause it's soooooo true.
May 24, 201213 yr You guys know how much I love Chevelles (including the '67) , but I think that the '67 GTO just slightly edges past the Chevelle in styling. Surprised? The '67 GTO is pretty sweet...though the '65 is my favorite of the early GTOs.
May 24, 201213 yr Since I'm shopping for cargo space these days.... I know it's not classic metal, but dagnabbit, I like it. Especially for $17k.

May 25, 201213 yr dfelt and GMTruckGuy, thanks for the affirmation. Gotta figure out a way to clear this one with the wife, however. She'd rather we get one of these. (warning: non-lusty picture below)

May 25, 201213 yr Evening Orchid isn't really my color of choice, but this car is just beautiful. Edited May 25, 201213 yr by Camino LS6
May 26, 201213 yr Gorgeous automobile, shame he had to run over wet red paint. Yeah, can't say that I love the red wheelwell thing.
May 28, 201213 yr While that '57 GMC 370 chasis-cab is still on my mind, I found another GMC to take it's primary lust spot: Like Lamar's wife, mine is not thrilled with this truck, even just as a possibility. She too wants me to look at minivans This one is a 2007 GMC Sierra Classic 2500HD Extended Cab SLT 4WD. The two downfalls for me are that it's not a crew cab and that it's black (not a preferred personal choice of color). I've always liked the '99-'07 design, and even though I'm a fan of the current Sierra I do regret not purchasing a GMT-800 truck when I've had the opportunity. It has 53k miles, is a loaded SLT model, and has the 6.0L V8 engine. I don't need a 2500HD truck by any means, but it's one bad rig and I'm definitely in with it.

It's close, but I prefer the GTO. But I remeber the maroon pristine 65 Chevelle the girl next doors boyfriend drove when I was in 7th grade. She was hot, the car was hot...he was banging that and driving that...lucky guy! Evening Orchid isn't really my color of choice, but this car is just beautiful. Correction...utterly stunning... One of my favorite years for GTO - in my favorite color. Love the 66...had a chance to buy a car just like that...I've been kicking myself for twenty years for passing on it.
May 30, 201213 yr Author .and I'll see your chevelle and raise you one GTO...and yes I know that you (camino) hate yellow cars...I love them...esp this one... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=9529 Link for the GTO... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=9529 Also from Mershons... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=7010 Now this Camaro...This is also a lust worth bow tie...
May 30, 201213 yr Today's Internet Lust vehicle - the Holden Caprice: And wishing that GM/Chevrolet offered this car in place of the 2012 Impala
May 30, 201213 yr Also from Mershons... http://www.mershons....pop.asp?ID=7010 Akkkk.....thud. Lola T70....wow...and in the yellow it resembles the Ecurie Bonnier livery..
May 30, 201213 yr dfelt and GMTruckGuy, thanks for the affirmation. Gotta figure out a way to clear this one with the wife, however. She'd rather we get one of these. (warning: non-lusty picture below) Sorry just could not hold it in for these soccer mom mobiles.

(warning: non-lusty picture below) Sorry just could not hold it in for these soccer mom mobiles. I agree...woman at work just bought one and I was like...ughhhh... One of my SCCA buddies bought one, uses it to sleep in at the track and to haul his buddies to Soccer games...and loves it. To each his own, I guess....
June 1, 201213 yr I so love me this generation of Monte Carlo http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=98043&endYear=1987&modelCode1=CHEVMONT&showcaseOwnerId=563264&startYear=1985&makeCode1=CHEV&firstRecord=26&searchRadius=0&listingId=319706655&Log=0
