Replying to: andys120 (Dec 25, 2008 11:34 am) Maybe he was talking about an A/C unit for his motorhome, (or apartment complex.)

...a 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix with a black vinyl top with the 8-lug wheels and finished in the same yellow as andre1969's 1967 Catalina convertible.

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) I think if I creaked open some old duffer's garage door and saw that car I'd faint on the spot!

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) I can't even imagine stumbling into something like that. If I knew someone who's grandpa had an old car in the garage, and they wanted me to take a look at it, it'd end up being a Chevy Celebrity or something.

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) i just read the same story from a different source. it's kind of funny to me to think it was only 23 years old, when last driven, and has been sitting around for over twice that long, since then.   i did see a late 70's green tbird today. not quite the same thing.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 02, 2009 1:50 pm) Cool story. The car looks like it's in decent shape too from the pics.

" If I knew someone who's grandpa had an old car in the garage, and they wanted me to take a look at it, it'd end up being a Chevy Celebrity or something."   If it happened to be a '82, the first model year for the Celebrity, you would have discovered Motor Trend's Car Of The Year. Of course, judging from Motor Trend's dismal track record with its cars of the year, that may explain why you chose that model as an example of an unremarkable, forgetable car. Or am I being too kind with those adjectives? Replies to this message: fintail (Jan 02, 2009 6:19 pm) andre1969 (Jan 03, 2009 4:30 am) uplanderguy (Jan 04, 2009 4:31 am) lemko (Jan 04, 2009 8:37 am)
#15086 of 18005 Datsun 510... by andys120 Jan 02, 2009 (6:14 pm)
...not exactly as rare or exciting as a Bug Atlantic but I did see a nicely modified '69ish 510 2-door. It had all the period "street-racer" mods, alloy wheels, big tailpipe, discreet front and trunk spoilers, no bumpers and a nice repaint in a shade of light pastel blue that I thought fitting for a car known as the Bluebird in the JDM.   California plates naturally.

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jan 02, 2009 3:31 pm) It's a car I always somewhat disliked as a kid (whwn they were new)...I especially hated the cheesy dashboard and hilarious fonts used on the instruments. A real dumbed down car, and it would be real fun with a hoary old iron duke 4. Although I will admit its platform clone siblings never really offended me at all, GM did a respectable (for the time period) job of moving them just enough upmarket to be palatable.
