Xplantdad has a Muscle car!

[Xplantdad]

I am happy to announce that I'm the proud owner of a 1966 SS396 Chevelle. I have to thank DarrenX33 for all of the work that he did to help out in this purchase. He went way above the "call of duty" and to him I am forever
indebted. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I'd also like to thank Belair for all of his patience during this process. Bob, you're one cool guy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

First picture is of the car coming off of the transporter

The car underneath mine is a 6800 mile original corvette.

I also need to thank the http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifest of websites...Yenko.net. I never would have met so many very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif people, nor would I have found this car to enjoy.

So thanks to Yenko.net and everyone associated with it! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Bob's old car huh--He can't be all bad if he owned a '66 SS 396----- http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[mssl72]

Very nice! I would love to have one too! Looking at your pre-detail shots tells me you don't have anything to do but turn the key and enjoy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Z28DZ]

Congrats, Bruce! Sweet ride http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif. I'll bet it was pretty exciting to see it rolling out of the car hauler!

Can it do this http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif ?

Sweet Chevelle my color too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[jg95z28]

Sweet ride. It makes me long for my old 67 Chevelle Malibu. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[427TJ]

Bruce, now you need to park it next to your brother's Marina Blue '67 RS/SS 396 and take some pictures! It must be a lot like Christmas morning out in the garage detailing your new '66. So did you take it to the Pavilions cruise last night?

[Xplantdad]

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, Ed...It can! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif I'm so happy I could just... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Yep, though it's been awhile since I've driven a muscle car, so I'm gonna ease back into the whole experience.

The Camaro and the Chevelle will eventually get parked together for some shots...And Bill...Pavillions cruise is tonight, though I might try and hit some of the cruise sports a bit closer to home tonight.

Here are a few more detailed shots...

Nice to see you have a Quality 396 SS Bruce. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Corvettes are always underneath Chevelles in my book.
Raise your PBR high to Darren & Bob.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Rick! It took me awhile to figure out that PBR meant Pabst Blue Ribbon...I've not got much sleep lately!

Here's to the great team of Bob and Darren http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

And here's to everyone who has said such nice things about the car... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Bruce:
Congratulations! Those days in January at B-J didn't fuel the fire any, did it?!
And what do you mean "before it gets hot"? I noticed it was 93 in Phoenix yesterday! Yeah, I know, that's just an overnight low in the summer for you guys.
Have fun.
Dave

MMMmmmm....could be! I think I "got the fever back" due to some prodding from some very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif members here...plus being at B-J for the whole event didn't hurt either.

It would have been better for business without the tornado warning and hail..but oh well!

Dave,

The Z/28 that you had on your turntable at B-J was absolutely beautiful! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Thanks for the vote of confidence. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Salvatore]

Bruce, Great looking car! Only can go way up in value. I am sure your whole family will enjoy it. Kind of envious of that lousy weather you have out there! Get that thing sideways on occasion! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[ibuyncr]

Hi Bro... Greetings rom Denver. I am at the offices for Ultimate...and 30 stores are closing for sure starting on Wed 4/20. I am doing start-up work...but it looks as if the senior lead will run the deal. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif The good news is that I will be home soon to work on the two AZ. closing stores (Metro & Arcadia)...so the BLUE's brothers cars just might have that photo op sooner than later!
Take Care,
Gary

Hey Gary,

That sounds great to me! 1966 Marina Blue Chevelle SS396 next to a 1967 Marina Blue RS/SS 396 Camaro next to an Electron Blue 2002 Z06 Corvette. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Should make for some nice shots, eh? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

We'll have to do some of this http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif and this http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Too bad about the Ultimate deal...though at least you'll be close to home. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[ibuyncr]

HMMM...the plot thickens....possibly all 62 stores.....and then a travelling regional I will be! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
