Well guys it's that time of year again. time to park Taz for the winter. This year he is going up to My parents house to sleep in my dads heated 4 car garage. He will be nesseled between my dad's 1977 chrysler Cordoba and his 1964 Ford Galaxie convertable. also in the Garage is my mom's 1984 Chrysler Lebaron Town and Country Mark Cross Edition convertable (Whew!) long name for a car dont you think. Here are a few photos from their house.

Originally Taz was going to go in the front Garage but later he was moved to the back .

My friend ken checking the strength of Taz's antifreeze

Well guys and gals its march 2009 and time to get Taz ready to go to the performance world indoor car show.  It is held every march at the international center in Mississauga, Ont. Here a few picts of Taz coming out of storage to get him ready. Most of the snow is gone just a little left out in the country where my parents live.

Here are some picts from the show this year I decided to put it in with the original wheelcovers instead of the nice rims with the white lettering tires. Because of this Taz was placed in a different judging catagory this year .

I love your Matador coupe. It is in really nice shape. It's very rare to see an early Barcelona model. You have to love the 70's, when cars were still made to look good. Check out my past and present cars.
