Plowman's old scans and pics
 

A few more old photo albums were pulled out at my parents house the other day. We figured it would be fun to post a few up here to share.

Here is another pic of the Ol' 57 at Vargo. A pic of this car not looking its best is rare so note the primer on the door as part of a repair. White rims on back for the sticky tires and Astro mags up front.

Here are two pics of a friend/teacher from Spring Garden Institute (automotive college). I know the first name was Don.

Another buddy, Bruce Kasper and his 32 Ford project form 1969 I believe.

There are some great pics of the girls from back in the day, this one happens to be my mom and her 68.

This is a 67 Nova 327 4 speed car he bought along with a 67 Camaro (below). Notice how they wanted to highlight the 327 with the extra art on the front fender.

The Camaro looks to be a convertible. Another 327 4-speed car with the obligatory mods of the day.

I think the Nova and Camaro made room for this...

Turns out this one was a keeper. Here it is in 1993 still rocking out the T3 lamps.

Flash forward a few more years and here he is happily working on a Firebird I found for a friend of mine in college. There's my 65 SS in the background.

they are great pictures. I remember Don Owens and Tommy Morata of the Pink Panther days. Bring back Vargo Dragway va-va-va-voomway! Your mom still looks that young. I saw her at the Lansdale Show!

Carried this in my wallet for 20 years before I took it out. Put it somewhere and found it another 20 years later.

Only drove it two days. 283 dual quads (AFB's), 3-speed with Hurst Mystery shifter and a 3.70 rear. Traded it to Ted Schwaggert (sp?) for the 57 seen above. Even-up but it included each of us keeping thier motor and trans. Ted had a 327 and a 4-speed. The 327 was all black was supposed to have been a &quot;Jenkins Prepared&quot; cira 1968.

When the 327 was still in the 57 it raced a 62 dual quad 409 SS and walked by it like it was racing a 283!

Found this out in the garage over the weekend. Back when I was a line mechanic at Coupe Chevrolet. Can anyone guess what year?

This here is a &quot;Day 3&quot; Tee handle. Day 1 it was bare aluminum. Day 2 it had a glover covering it in the winter and Day 3 got leather wrapped.

Hey Sammy, can you guess where this picture was taken? The 55 wagon in front was mine. No NMW towing equipment was being used at that time.

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
 

Great pix..1969 on that yardstick.

Re: Plowman's old scans and pics
 

Love the picture Paul!
