We've been really lucky with the weather so far, and even this week has been fantastic. Unfortunately, starting tomorrow it looks like intermittent rain. Since it was really sunny and nice yesterday, another last minute invite was sent out to the car group. Surprisingly, a bunch of folks showed up, since it was also a Friday evening, and everyone wanted to relax after the week with a drive. Starting tomorrow, with the exception of my cars and 2 other buddies cars (which we drive all Summer regardless of rain) all of these cars will be under wraps again until we have another spell of sunny weather. Some pretty cool cars in this meet! I'll have to break it up into couple pages since I can't upload all in one page.

Late 70's Chevy Silverado square body with a 454 cubic inch big block engine making roughly around 650 hp. Thing was wild.


My buddies 1971 Plymouth Duster that he rescued from a wet and sodden backyard where it had been sitting for 20 years at least. It had a slant 6 engine at the time, now has an old Dodge 360 cubic inch V8 in it. He fixed all the structural rust (welded in new floor panels, trunk panels etc) but left the exterior as is since it was cool looking


The cool Duster decal still on it





Cool old Buick. 4 doors, but still cool. Sounded great.


Front view of the Buick


My friends immaculate 1970 Corvette with a 4 speed manual that he and his dad restored from the bottom up.


Frontal view. Beautiful lines


Engine in the Vette. 383 cubic inch stroker. This thing flies. I've sat in it multiple times, and it can spin the tires in 3rd gear.


Beautiful interior with a great dash gauge layout


An amazing 1970 Chevelle SS with a 454 cubic inch big block. This car has a neat history. Been in town since new. Was a complete rust heap rotting away in a trailer park when it was purchased by the current owner, who restored it completely in his garage. This thing sounds and looks amazing. And moves.


Very menacing front end when you see it in your rear view mirror





The cowl induction set up for more air for the engine

I drove my 1988 Trans-Am GTA for this drive. It was the youngest car in the lot, a mere 35 years old. That is, until the 30 year old Dodge Viper showed up


That frontal view is pretty cool





The 1993 Dodge Viper. This car had, and still has a well deserved reputation as a widow maker. As the owner said, it wants to kill the driver at every turn, every chance it gets. Takes something to be able to control it










Parting shot as we were leaving

What a great way to start a beautiful weekend. The lineup is fabulous. Great to have such legends in your garage. Enjoy each and every moment. Keep on munching miles.
