Re: Vintage picture thread
Here's a few. My dads tractor, that was about 69, I was 3 or 4 I think. Notice the Volvo in the back.
The 70 SWB my folks bought new, I still have it. This Dec. 1980 w'ere rebuilding the 307. Yes it is Dec. in Phx. AZ and I'm wearing a half shirt. Rebuilding the 283 in the 57 in 81. Canping in Parks AZ. about 78-79. Just a coup[le weeks after it got rear ended, you can see the crunched RR fender. Last edited by haminator; 12-24-2011 at 10:33 PM. |

Re: Vintage picture thread
Wonderful pic Steve, it looks like the rear wheels are on some sort of rolling road...early dyno testing?

Re: Vintage picture thread
There are some great pictures here! I don't have a lot of pictures from the early vehicles I bought and sold. It's unfortunate I wasn't really into taking pictures back then, because I've had an incredible number of trucks, as well as cars. Unlike many of the vehicles you all lhave owned over a long period, I've always had a tendency to buy and sell, not holding on to a vehicle for very long.
Here are a few pictures I've found and scanned in...The '55 is from Indiana, I believe this would be summer (looking at the corn, lol) of 1970. The '69 Chevelle was a BB, 4-spd, SS and the picture was taken in a parking lot at Dover AFB, DE in 1973. The '57 was setting in my front yard in Woodside, DE and is probably from 1975. Finally, from Hawaii, the '70 Olds is a W-31 car, 350 Olds powered, B&M auto. This was a wicked quick car. Managed to stuff some 15X10 Cragars with N50 15s, all in the wheelwell. This picture was taken at Bellows (a recreational area) where we were staying after packing our house up for the move back to the mainland. Shipped the car back to Oklahoma and sold it in 1981.

Re: Vintage picture thread
I love the pics, eightbanger! I'm amused with the last pic of the set... no hearing protection. You know they didn't have any hearing later on in life.
