Thi was my first true love. A 1976 Skyhawk with a 327 out of a Vette, 4spd tranny, and 4:23 posi rear end. Dual exhaust with Flowmaster racing mufflers, and Centerline big-and-little drag wheels. And she was smog-exempt! No smog crap choking her down, no cats or smog pump. Just a PCV valve. And I lived in California! That's my sister's 79 Ranchero in the background.
From the factory, Skyhawks ran on 13"s, but this thing rolled on P215/60R14 front and P235/60R15 rear tires, with air shocks and custom springs holding her butt up in the air.
Never did much to to interior other than installing a racing tach on the dash and getting some Camaro seats for the front. Always ended up spending money on motor goodies.
She looks nasty in these pictures...just took her out of storage (out from under the tarp) at my mom's house after a few years of waiting for a new home (place to park). Only pictures I could find, so a little dirt never hurt anyone ;)
Had to let the Buick go. Got my Camaro, lived in an apartment complex, and got ticketed by the Ceres CA cops as an eyesore. One of the worst days in my life was watching the tow truck haul my old friend off...
I keep on the look-out for another H body, but I doubt I could ever build another car with the Buick's personality.
This was another of my project cars from years gone by. Could only find one picture of her, and it's not so good.
1972 Dodge Charger with 383, 3spd auto, and plenty of rust. Those rear tires are P255.60R15s...Barely fit in the fender wells. She had to go long before the Buick.
And this is my current hot rod...my 1998 Camaro. She's only a 3.8L, but she's plenty quick. Z06 rims, P245.45R17s, and a few exterior mods make her look sweet. I'm planning to beef up the clutch, brakes, and suspension in the future.
The Camaro came in 2nd to a 74 Challenger at the Priest River Show and Shine!
This is Koragg, our newest project car. He's a 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 with a 318. Still a major work in progress.
This was my wife's pride and joy. Her 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally. It's gone, but not forgotten.
