My wife found my one and only picture of my 65 maroon 442 "post" car, m21 4 speed! from 1972. And you can also see the drivers qtr. of my black 69 Grand Prix SJ with the 428! And a picture of my first Olds my brother bought me for 15.00 with busted 303. Its a 53 88. I just love the smell of Rocket fuel in the morning!! Wisha coulda shoulda kept them all!

Those cars would all be fun now. I could handle a short trip in the 69 SJ !! I bet the 428 really pulled.

scan it and repost it. Id like to see it.

Here you go. Now that I know more about scanning on my new PC I will re-send the others.

Rob the cars look awesome but it appears you are scanning your entire area of the flat bed scanner. If you use the marquee tool you can select the photo of the car only. To create a marquee, move the pointer over the image in the Preview window. The pointer becomes a set of cross-hairs. Hold down the mouse button and drag the cross-hairs over an area of the image, and then release the mouse button to create the marquee.That will work for most scanner software but some you will need to click a icon that looks like a dotted square first. Please take no offense by me pointing this out none is intended just wanting to help, I own a photo lab and it is a very common mistake people make.

Not that car, the 65. Scan it so we can actually see it.

TK-65 this was my 65 Cutlass 330-320HP, 2-speed back in 68. Within 30 minutes of getting my drivers license, lady ran a stop sign and I T-boned her. luckily for her and the car it was in a residential neighborhood, maybe going no more than 30mph. I was sharing the payments with my mother, working after school at the drive in and a pizza joint on the weekends.

HonestDave that SJ was really nice car. It had the TH400 trans I later traded it in for a 69 442 bench seat 4-speed car. That car was a dog, it would not get out of it's own way. Now 35 years later I heard indeed they were dogs because in 68 they starting putting 455 cranks in them-longer stroke that then earlier 400's (for emissions yeah right) The bike in the picture was my buddies 70 or so Sportster. And guess what he was driving?? 67 442 W-30, yes sir it was gold with a black vinyl top.

He's way ahead of me. I've got a Cannon MP210, and I can't even find the time to learn to scan with it. I take pictures with my camera and load them into the computer. Now THAT'S lazy !!
