  1. For those not on Facebook, They just announced that Morad Parts Company is now also a sponsor for the meet along with Intense!
  2. Spring gathering of GM W-Body and 3800 powered vehicle enthusiasts! Bonneville | Grand Prix | Monte Carlo | Regal | Impala Saturday, May 11, 2013 Belle Isle - Detroit, Michigan I'm sure all of you in the 3800 community know who Intense is, and they are sponsoring the event. I'm gonna be headed up there & just wanted to let you guys know if you didn't already! Here's a link to the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook...975961/?fref=ts
  3. I think in your case it's not that he isn't using the photo you submitted, but that you email him the original image file rather than him using the image posted on the forum since it's probably downsized when it's uploaded thru photobucket. Also, if you'd like if you want to email me your original picture and I can photoshop the date stamp out no problem. Just let me know.
  4. I think this is the one someone complained about me not posting last year, haha
  5. There's a few saveables around me. But each car's owner says they're going to fix it and will not sell. The guys are in their late 70's to 90's and you just know they aren't going to touch them or let them go...they'll just rot away and likely junked when they pass away. A couple I remember sitting out in a field '68 Cougar XR7 '60 Impala and a Mid-Sixties Riviera
  6. Not a bad DD if I don't say so myself. I second this motion. Intake plus WOT = so much winning!!!!
  7. They're SSEi tails, I cut the amber lens out. The GXP tails don't have any of the stripes, and I'd be a dead man if I had painted stripes on a GXP light haha!
  8. Wasn't sure if I should have started a new topic but I figured I'd add more pictures here since this thread is pretty recent anyway. But here's more from the white one, Chloe. I drive by the Hampton Coliseum all the time but only just recently thought about using it to take pictures with. Turned out to be a great spot, I really want to go back for night shots when the place is lit up, but they only light it up for events, which would also mean it would crowd it up.... They light it up around Christmas/New Years with colors though, I'll just wait till then. In the mean time I'll share what I got, hope you like Begging to be lowered...
  9. Diggin' the GA. Push bar and slightly tinted tails and I'd call it a day.
  10. Thanks guys! Yeah I was really surprised once I saw it that he was only letting it got for that much, but to his credit he thought the motor was done. Either way it was a steal even as a parts car. I've had a dozen or so bites on the sale so far...2 scams, 1 other possible scam. Yay.
  11. Haven't been posting much here but I hope to pick back up. But a litle back story here, I lost overdrive on my white SSEi back in October and I had initally parked the car thinking the rest of the gears were gonna leave me on the side of the road not long after. But I found out it is a common issue on the 4T65 transmissions for the 4th clutch hub to strip the splines off over time. I ended up still driving the car and have put another 10k miles on it, gas mileage has takin a hit, down to 18mpg from the 25 I was getting. But anyways, I started saving was initially looking for a used transmission and wasn't having any luck. Then around the time I had enough to consider a new/rebuilt trans I came across another 2001 SSEi for $1k. The guy made it sound like it was in terrible looking condition over the phone but said it did run and drove great but had just started making ticking noises coming from the top end of the motor so he parked it. My intention when I bought it was to steal the trans, rebuild the motor for my own car at a later date and part out the rest. But once I picked it up I had decided it was too good to part out. The engine trouble all came down to a water pump and 4 lifters had collapsed. I replaced all the top end gaskets and general tune up and she now runs perfect and doesn't look half bad at all. So now the plan is to sell it and get a built transmission from Triple Edge Performance that will handle what I have planned for the car, rather than getting a used/stock unit that will likely blow up or have to be replaced in a couple years with more mods. Anywho, found the time to snap a few pictures with them together. Only had a few minutes while my brother was around to drive the other car down to the boat landing down the road. This "Dark Bronzemist Metallic" color is growing on me the more I look at it...I'll have to try to get a few more shots before it's gone.
  12. Haha, well this is our 3rd year doing this, but it's the first time we advertised it as a car show. The last two years it was just an "event" with no awards. In any case, I look forward to seeing you come out!
  13. For anyone in Virginia or possibly surrounding areas, Old Dominion University is hosting our 3rd charity car show benefiting CHKD. Saturday March 31st @ Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. http://www.orgs.odu.edu/carclub
  14. Congrats to everyone that made it in, and thanks for the votes and for pulling me out of the hat
  15. This isn't my car but I guess this is the best place to post this. This past weekend I spotted a '77 Pontiac Can Am at my local Cars & Coffee cruise in. It was the only other Pontiac besides mine that showed up this month, usually our C&C is littered with GTO's and a few T/A's & Fiero's. But anyways I didn't realize how special this Can Am was, I just thought it was just another trim package. But come to find out it was a 1977 only package and it's estimated less than 1500 were built! I didn't talk to the owner at the show, but he found his way to the C&C page on facebook. I posted a link to this site so maybe he'll join up! I went looking online and found some info and thought I'd share for those that didn't know. The agreed upon number for how many were built is 1,377. 1500 were supposed to be built but sales were taking away from the Grand Prix and apparently when the fiberglass ducktail/spoiler mold broke Pontiac decided to cut the Can Am. They were powered by the 6.6L T/A motor except for 42 "California" cars that got the Olds 403. All were painted white with yellow/orange striping but interior color options varied and they could be ordered with the snowflake T/A wheels. It was definitely a beautiful machine:
