Cool Camaro, looks really good considering it spent nearly 30 years in a barn! Mechanically they're pretty robust, I bet it's on the road with minimal work.

My sister's boyfriend acquired his great aunt's 1976 Camaro. She died in 1988 and it last ran in 1990. It sat in a barn ever since. It's pretty solid overall, and has only 70k kms. Mice chewed up the hood liner but the interior was untouched. The original spare tire is there - uninflated and there's a bottle for inflation.

Some basic TLC, fresh fuel & it fired up this evening.

Cool!! What's the plan for it?

Some of this?

Short term plan is to enjoy it as a beater summer cruiser for a few years. Eventually a proper restoration is in mind.

Would be neat to have one of these land barges to waft around in. Big ol' Caddy or Lincoln would be one of the cars in my fantasy 12 bay garage.

If I had a place to park one, I'd get one. The Passat only has a bit more than a foot of clearance at each end in my garage due to the stairs and lift.

Neat... been many years since i've seen a Ranchero.
I was pulling into parking lot of hardware store yesterday - saw a Ranchero similar to this one minus the wood panelling, heading out with a new toilet in back.

Camping in Icelandic State Park...saw this. MB plates. All Terrain on the side. Lowered 4WD?? Don't know what year, but it looked good.

The Minnesota Viper Club visits Winnipeg and stays at the Hotel Fort Garry.

Crazy. He didn't make the cut at the Open so that makes sense.

It was so fast that I didn't even have time to snap a pic! He was getting his clubs from the oversize luggage pick up spot at the same time as we were getting our bags from Punta Cana, lol!

Guy in the house behind me has a G70 in blue. Very sharp.

Same as this one, I think.
