First Muscle Car

Today, Tommy, Zach and I went to the Atlantic City Car Auction to start off the 2011 year. One of the many beautiful cars we found there was this 1964 Pontiac GTO, arguably the car that started the entire muscle car era. This was the only '64 that we found, but there were a ton of GTOs from 1964-1970 for sale in the auction. I explained to Zach the importance of this car, and then we went and purchased some hot-rod T-shirts, a Chevelle Hat, and 2 gallons of Captain Lee's Spra' Strip. We need to start to get the paint off of the Chevelle, and I've had much success with this product before on the Stingray.

We also came across this 1966 Chevy II survivor, a true 1 of 1 car widely accepted as the only know 1966 L79 SS Nova Sports Coupe that was produced with Tropic Turquoise with a Fawn interior. It was ordered an d delivered to Hawaii in the spring of 1966 as a heat delete car with a rear speaker. The car still has it's original factory drive train, a 327 cu/350 HP with M-21 4-speed and 3:73 12 bolt posi rear. The car was un-restored with all original sheet metal, thanks to it's warm Hawaii storage until 2009. This was probably the nicest and unmolested L79 left in the country.

(I found it funny what's written on the windshield - "Accepting offers - not cheap" ha ha)
