Just noticed this, masking tape lines on the chrome molding strip ?

Getting the itch again, been online looking and came upon this '72 Cutlass... showing just over 30,000 miles, looks like a re-paint ?? If it was a 130,000 miles, you would see signs like excessive wear with the interior ( seats, steering wheel etc. ), but it looks good.... A build sheet is included in the ad.
Does anything stands out that doesn't look correct for this model year?
Thanks !

Anyways, back during the glorious lock down days I came close to owning this.
My Godfather had the exact one, but it had the small block 350 in it..... I believe 3 years later during the gas crunch, he traded it in on one of these....

Could be considered a notification that you need more truck that you currently have to tow the vehicle you have.
Definitely ! That van has been "retired", it was the first and last time I towed with it.

What a gorgeous looking 1969 Impala!
Love it, Steve. Thanks for sharing it
Thanks ! I ended up selling the Impala to a collector out in Ohio in 2015. I used the funds to purchase my ultimate Impala: a documented 1969 SS427. I've been collecting NOS parts for it over the past 8 years, hopefully within a year or so, I'll have it painted and then I'll show it at Hershey.

My father passed on December 25th, 2000.. I was 35, but in those 35 years, he was a huge influence on the type of antique vehicles that I have today. Mostly GM ( there was that time he purchased a '77 Cougar XR7 for Mom ) but in my early years / teenager years, it was Chevrolet.. he took the time and shown me the basic maintenance on how to do a tune-up, oil changes etc...later years, he saw me start the restoration of a '69 Impala, but passed before seeing it completed. So now I have a few antiques, all GM in my collection, they all take me back to a simpler time. So thanks to my Father, I'm hooked on this hobby and GM !
So, did your Father influence your passion for specific brand of antiques ?

I never got to stop by the Research Center back in October while attending the Hershey Show, but out of curiosity, what vehicles are currently on display there ? I know that the 1908 Olds is there, but would enjoy seeing pictures of the other vehicles. I'm sure that the other members would enjoy seeing them as well.
Thanks !

I like the aluminum heads, I'd probably opt to go Chevy orange on everything for a stock/sleeper appearance
I was thinking the same......is there a process of "scuffing" the surface so that it could be painted? I'm not positive, I thought seen it somewhere else....
Anyway, it's looking great Martin !

If I can keep this rate up, I may be finished by March/April and have it ready for its first shakedown
It's looking great Chris..... any chance that you may be on the Hershey Show field this coming year ? I would really like to see your car in person!

That set up I had with the rented U-Haul trailer and my 1500 1/2ton van, scared the life out of me....it was my first time towing, had my wife and four kids with us traveling north on the NYS Thruway, when a tractor trailer passed me, I held on for dear life...lol
-
Very nice set up! I like the look of the finish interior of the trailer.

Do you already have the trailer, or know what you are going to buy...?
EmTee, I don't have a trailer....but once ( I hope ) I get a truck, I'll start looking into a trailer... I'm kinda leaning towards a enclosed trailer, only reason is that I had a bad experience about 10 years ago. I rented a U-haul trailer to take my 14 year restoration project that was just painted up to the Hemmings Motor News Concours show in Stratton Mountain, Vermont. Long story short, someone with a wedding band or something on their hand, went down the driver's side of my '69 Impala and over the trunk lid as well. If the car was in a enclosed trailer, it would of been safe.... I packed up the family and left ( I was devastated, could not understand why someone would do such a thing )

Steve what are you buying the truck for? For towing then I would think about a diesel. For driving around I think a diesel is overkill
Hey Kerry - It would be towing for the cars that I have ( Monte Carlo / Impalas ). For local driving, I have a Honda that I use. We'll see what happens, a friend wants my old pickup truck, so if that sells, I'll have a good amount to put down on a nice pre-own 3/4 ton truck.

I'm down to the manufacture ( GM ), but regarding 2wd and 4wd, which one do you guys prefer ? Which is better ?
Thanks again for the input !

We can't get the driver's door on this all-original 20,000-mile 1948 Packard to open
Looks like a beautiful car ! It just seems strange that it stopped working..... Matt, maybe call the previous owner, see if he had any issues as well ?

I have a soft spot for the Javelin.... in 1982, a fellow that worked with my Dad was selling a 1974 AMC Javelin for $800 ! This became my first new car that I purchased on my own, not bad for a 17 year kid ! It had a blue exterior and blue interior, 304 V8 with a 3 speed on the floor, for a 8 year old car, it was already showing it's age with rust starting in the rear quarters and the top of both front fenders. Another family friend that did paint / body work at his home, fixed the rust issues and we had the color change from blue to white. That car had a lot of torque, it had no problems smoking those tires ( ask me how a know ..lol ), I always like the design of the car and thought that AMC was ahead of the game when it came to the design !

So I started to look at preowned (GMC / Chevrolet ) I'm not too familiar with the Duramax Diesel, question for the GM owners, was there a certain year that I should stand clear of ? A lot of these Diesel's that are for sale have over 100k miles on them - well most of them do. What's the life span of a Diesel before a overall is needed ?
I've never own a diesel, just drove some fire apparatus while in the fire service....
here is an example.... 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500LS, 123K miles on her.......... asking $25K
Thanks !
