My Project: 72 GMC Jimmy
 

Hi There ;)
Im mostly on the 73/87 forum but im gonna be hanging around here also now since i have bought a 72 GMC Jimmy :cool:
I think im gonna come with some stupid questions..sorry about that and my poor english writing since i come from Norway :lol:
Some pics of my baby that was delivered to me last night:

The collection of old Trucks (72-80-78)

Now im gonna get it inside the garage and start tearing it down

That's Norway? I see 2 chevy trucks, the jimmy, a monte carlo (I think) and a taurus wagon... lol :c2:

Yes thats in Norway :)
You are right about all the cars :cool:
Its outside my garage..outside is also a 79 Caprice - 67 Chevelle 2dht - 76 Caprice 4dht and offcourse the 14 cars inside! We are three brothers and two buddies that rents the hole "ranch" :)

Any pics of the 67 chevelle? :D I have a 66.

The 67 Chevelle is actually a parts car for my brothers 66 Chevelle 2dht Super Sport 396 !
As you can see this car is totaled :( But my brother got a lot of hard to find parts for his project..All the brake brackets etc.

No pictures...

Werd :confused: :confused: :confused:
Working fine with me..

What are you doing in Norway?

:lol: If you get me a green card and a place to chrash then im coming right over to you guys :metal:
Norway is a ****ty place for us car entusiasts. I love the U.S.A. Been over three times (94-98-03)

Nice score. Are the prices for the collector cars about the same over there as there are in the US?

Got anymore pics of the truck in your avitar?

The prices are much higher over here.
But you can find some grate deals as well. The 72 costed me 428 dollars...
Got plenty of pictures of the truck in the avatar :cool:

Nice score, quite a collection you have there. What do you pay for gas in Norway?

We pay $ 6.28 pr gallon :(

Hmm. From looking at all the pictures, I have a couple of competing theories:

1) You have a strange fetish with removing axles. :crazy:
2) Axles are a big black-market item in Norway. :confused:
3) Somewhere you're building a huge three-axled UberBlazer. :metal:

Which one?

What is that in american money? (or is that american money?)
Suddenly ours($2.15 here) isn't so expensive.

Thats in American dollars :(

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Must be the first one :hm:

OUCH!!!!!!!!! :whine: :censored:

Nice find and thats gotta be a gold mine you have there in norway..

I'm amazed that there is one 72 GMC Jimmy in Norway at all, much less 2 or 3! They are seldom seen here even on the East Coast of the US. Rust got most of 'em.

Do you have rigorous inspections for cars like they do in other countries, like Germany etc.?

Have fun with it!

Nice score! And it came with 3/4-1ton axles under it..well they were...

Sweet Jimmy...Looks and Sounds like a great Project! Keep us posted.

Hmmm, Ive seen considerably worse chevelle's saved. I wouldn't call that totalled, unless there is severe chassis damage I cant see from the pic. The main thing on those cars is the roof, and the over all structure. Everything else is very replacable.

Nice little collection of American cars you have there. I can't imaging driving an SS396 at over $6 a gallon, but then, alot of people pay that for race fuel in their high compression motors too. Anyway, very nice collection, especially for Norway.

BTW my 66 is an SS396 also. Here's some pics if you are interested in seeing mine:

If you make it over here again, you're welcome to come stay at my pad for a while. :D

Thanks man !
Yes we do have the same rigorous inspections here also. Every new american car sold to norway have to change all the lights and seat belts :crazy:

Here you can see the damage more:

All my money goes to cars, parts and gasoline :)
