    i couldnt take a picture of it because i was talkin on the phone but i passed a red 997 carerra s turbo on the interstate with two kayaks strapped to a rack on the roof... surely he could have afforded a beater ranger or something for that...

    crap i got prolly 30 or so together in the box. daytonas, 1500's, chevelles, camaros, novas you name it. i have recently slowed up on them though due in part to the fact that most are $15+ a pop... i just picked up a 64 electra that i am itching to get together from hobby lobby. i stock up when their 30% off special is on.

    ooh first cars up... this sat in a used car lot for about a week. it had been sitting for sale at a local gas station before that. painted a 2001 bmw silver. fawn interior, 389 4bbl.30 over with a comp cam, 3sp th400. originally white, it had factory air which was removed for some dumb dumb reason, needed a radio, and all the trim needed replacing or replating. the paint was immaculate and of course no price... i'd imagin he wanted 15-17K but the car was a 12-15K at its very best day. had 47,000 on the odometer but thats prolly the second time around, who knows maybe not... then theres this guy... im not sure what to make of it... it reminds me of the pre-GN packages that ran around in 83... there was one in anderson that was the grey on black "prototype" non turbo GN's before the omminous all black ones showed up. any guesses?

    The original press release: The down economy has claimed another victim—The Paddock, a mainstay in the muscle car parts business for over 40 years. Indianapolis-based Key Auctioneers (www.KeyAuctioneers.com) announced today that it will auction the company’s parts inventory, showroom items, collectibles, vehicles, and equipment at the company’s 60,000-square-foot Knightstown facility. The July 29 auction is expected to draw thousands of muscle car enthusiasts from the Midwest and beyond. The Paddock has been a leading supplier of muscle car parts for several decades. Its thirteen parts lines represent some of America’s most popular muscle cars, including Mustang, Corvette, GTO, and Camaro. Company founder Jim O’Neil started The Paddock in 1965, restoring muscle cars in a small shop in Knightstown. By 1979, the company was manufacturing Mustang steel patch panels. The company’s first Mustang catalog was printed soon thereafter and the company started to grow by word of mouth. In 1980, the first Camaro catalog was printed. In 1998, Wes Watts, a former parts manager for the local Chevrolet dealership, purchased the company from O’Neil. Over the years the company added Firebird, GTO, Chevelle, Nova, Cutlass, Impala and other catalogs to its muscle car line. In 2001, Watts built a state-of-the art 60,000-square-foot facility to accommodate his growing business. According the Watts, the economic downturn of the last three years, along with the credit crisis, contributed to the company’s demise. Key Auctioneers Senior Vice President Tim Boeglin said the company’s intellectual property was garnering a high degree of interest. Included in the intellectual property are the company’s name and trademarks, million-name customer list, websites, catalogs, and phone numbers. source http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/paddock-closes-its-doors-after-40-a-5779.html# ... what a loss the restoration community just took. one great parts supplier gone.

    a late model ZR1 clone. thought it was one at first then noticed that the plexiglass dome on the hood was missing and there wasnt a carbon fiber roof.. the thing had badges wheels, even the ducts for the brakes.

    http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/rare-1954-corvette-pulled-field-upstate-5337.html check out this 54 vette that has been hanging out in a field for decades. it reminds me of the story of the vette up in the mountains that was just recently rescued last year.
