[Del Mar]

Can we show cars on this forum??

Here's one for all you guys and gals Stateside - the American car scene is big in the UK and here's a small selection of my fotos of the US entries this year at the world's "largest one day classic car show" last Sunday.

A great day out - cars, bikes and 28deg C......! Perfect!

No Firebirds? Nice looking cars though.

Well, there was a 6.6 Trans Am (as in "Smokey and the Bandit") but didn't get a pic of that one.

Nice. My cousing used to own one. Totalled it. I just sold this car prior to moving to Arkansas. It is the sixth Firebird I have owned and restored. Trying to decide if I want to buy another classic car or another bike.

Sweet! Didn’t know American cars very popular over the pond. Where I grew up MGs, Bug Eye Sprites, Healeys, etc were popular.
Here is my 79 Camaro which is currently on blocks in the back yard and an Opel GT which I no longer own.

What's up with the Camaro? Are you gonna freshen her up a bit?

 

[bamamate]

Long term goal is to strip her down and rebuild. My mom got her when I was 13. Took my driving test in her and she became my daily driver from ’88-‘01. Now she sits on blocks and hasn’t been started in 10 years.

You'd be surpirsed. I was stationed in Italy back in 1989 to 1993. I took a 1975 Pontiac Firebird with me. It had the Pontiac 350 engine (not chevy). While there I bought a 1986 Pontiac Transa Am with the 5.0L Crossfire Injection (bought from my boss). Everywhere I went I was stopped. People always wanting to look at the cars. I went to places like Pisa, Venice, Rome, Paris, Munich and such and when I get back to my car I would have crowds standing around it. Several occassion I was pulled over by police whether it was Germany, Poland, or Czech. I would aslways get a warning but spent 15 minutes showing the car. I recieved several offeres during my tour and finally ended up selling the 75. I brought the Trans Am back to the states. So somewhere in Italy is the 1975 Firebird.

BTW, When I was in Iraq I saw several 55-57 Chevys. They were not in good shape though. Mostly used as taxi's.

Ummmmm, Dodge Charger.

So I've just been looking at Yank motors, posted by a UK member on an American (predominately) forum.

A 5 litre V8 would be more popular if petrol wasn't over $8 a gallon here

That red Mustang is in mint condition and, being the model that it is, would cost you in the region of £30,000 over here.

 

[ziggie]

Yes,and worth every cent.
