here, there, and everywhere around are potential cool cars waiting to be liberated from their dull, unused existences


Just using up space behind a service station
Gated into the end of a driveway, likely been there for dozens of years, and more to go before rescue

Pontiac Executive, a midrange car below the Bonneville trim package, but better than the Catalina... was a 4 year run, with either a 400, 428, or 455 cu in engine... 1967-70. Most were 3 speed autos, but a 4spd Hurst shifted manual was 2% of all produced... you know I'm going to go back and look to see if this is a stick or auto now!

What's hanging around your neighborhood?



What a unusual car to keep lkooking this good! It's got the black and yellow plates, and that's all it takes as far as I'm concerned. Must be a six cylinder, by the single tail pipe, and lack of engine call outs.
It's a 68 Plymouth Valiant Signet, and remarkably clean inside and out, interior pics didn't turn out, too dim in the evening, but wow... fresh paint and aftermarket rims. Congrads to the wner who isn't dying from the gas mileage of the straight six.

I still can't tell for sure if it's 2 or 4 door, but how lucky that it fits lengthwise in the garage!

Now this really shows effort, a 72 Dodge Dart Swinger, Cragar SS rims proviong again that everything looks better with that vintage Cragar SS look. Hood scoop is (I think) a 64 Super Stock Dodge aftermarket piece, and wow, what a king pin piece tot he whole package look. Nothing sets off a car better than the right hood scoop choice.


Even went the 200 dollar extra with the 69 Super Bee exhaust tips. My applause!
