the next one is my 1963 fuelie corvette 4 spd and 4:11 gear that i bought in 1981. I think it might have had original paint at the time but i wasn't sure. I started a body off on this one but sold it when i took a job out of the city i am in now with a law firm in london. I should definitely have kept this one. Doug

this is another one that i still have. I found the car for my brother in 1976 and bought it from him in 1986. We did a good clean up, or body on restoration if you will, a few years ago. My brother liked the green colour of my stratochief so he repainted this one in that colour. I returned it to the proper colour. I pulled the original engine and had sent it into the machine shop for a freshen up and stuck an extra 70 402 in it for the time with a 375 hrs cam. I haven't even reinstalled the engine yet; its wrapped in cellophane sitting on a cart beside the car. The car again is canadian only, being a 1968 beaumont sd, 396-350 hrs, turbo 400, power disc brakes, ps, tinted glass, am-fm, vinyl top, wood grain dash, power windows, tinted glass, red lines, fibre optics, rear defogger, all documented by gm vintage services. The pictures are from 1978 when i was building a garage at one of my houses. Doug

if you are interested this is how the last car looks now. I have a lot of current pictures of my existing cars but i'm not sure where they are. My computer self destructed last summer and i have to find them. If this set exists i would have thought all of the resto pictures of the stratochief would have as well and the 69 chevelle ss we are working on now. If i find them i'll send you a few. Have a great day, doug

Thanks again to Doug for sharing his past (and Present) cars


Doug, if you are interested...we could do a Members ride on both the StratoChief and the SD 396 Beaumont. You could send me a bunch more pics of both...and more details on both?

Photos of my 1967 Camaro SS L78 4.56 when owned by high school student Alan Mason of Logan Ohio in the late 1970's. He is the third owner who junked the original hood in favor of a fiberglass cowl induction hood.

Found these pics today of my old blue on blue 71 TA. It was a great car with an even better history. I've had several of these early TA's over the years but this one was my favorite with a 4 speed, deluxe interior and a factory cassette player mounted on the hump in the back seat. These pics are from owner #5 from the late 70's. The first two are of his soon to be.bride and his stepson, the last one is from their wedding day. Gotta love that afro!
