Up until 15 years ago I lived and worked in Lexington for 20 years.

Nice car, bet it runs like a true thoroughbred.

Wow - great shots!
Take them with enough resolution and quality and submit them for the calendar drawing next year!
My fav was the second - would be even better if you could read the badge to the left.
Sweet looking ride for sure. What is it like to be going 100? Feel like 50?

yes 100 feels like 50 in this car i have been 150 in it racing a cobra mustang and he said i let off and he was going 145 on his speedo and i was still puling on him thanks to the 2:56 gear and that big built 455 makes it a whole lot of fun
i would really like to see a calender with my car i thnk ill cry thinkin about it
my daughter stuck her camera out the window and got that pic and i didnt know it so she then took a pic of the speed i was going i thought everyone was asleep whoops busted

Yea...I bet you scare alot of folks when you sneak up on em'. I know it freak me out. My friend had one those, it looked like my Grandpas car, but that thing would just smolder the tires. Great job, I really like it.

thanks cutlassjoe it does have some effects on folks but the best thing is i can drive her anywhere not have terrible gas mileage and still be fast if i turn on that little bottle in the trunk and spank some camaros and mustangs. The car has ran a 12.98 in the quarter with a single track rearend

Great looking car! I had one, turquoise with white top and interior. They have wonderful lines on a big vehicle.

Your black car is BAD!

Russell: Great looking Big Olds, w/a/BB, and on the bottle, no less! Fantastic shots out the window. That little girl in your picture, your daughter, took the pics???? Know what her calling in life is going to be. Love the shot of the speedometer. 150 and still pulling on the Mustang!!! Wow! I would bet that he was truly bummed out.

Very sad - sorry to hear...
But do take care of that car and keep it, as that is a big part of him and he would want you to anyway.
Make it fast but keep it safe!

lotto

Good find for the rotors, I found a set from a beat-up 69 convertible, the lotto changes people for the worst.

yes the back glass has a latch that hooks on and lets the air flow through instead of creating a hurricane in the back of the car just picked it up today

no it is not lowered the wheels are 17x8 on the front with 255/50/17 and the rear is 17x9.5 with 275/60/17 but the new tire will be 275/50/17 because when on the street it sits just a little to high in the back for me and the 60 series is like 30 inches tall and the 50 series is a litlle over 2 inches shorter. i think it will make it look better.
thanks

I'm still looking for some rims.
Can't make a choice, there are so many off them to choos from.

Wanted 15 inch wirewheels but hey they are realy expencive, so i did not bought a set yet.

i'm thinking of a chrome star 5 spoke, or torq thrust2 but am not shore.

Want to make it a "lowrider" style without loosing it originality. like the 15 inch.

And they are low form factory
