Pictures Of Cars and Motorcycles That Make You Smile

I believe originately it stood for 4-barrel, 4-speed, dual exhaust.

That's correct.

I had both a '69 GTO with the hidden headlights option and a '69 Grand Prix. They both had 400s with turbo 400 transmissions. Wish I still had them.

69 olds

These are the same as the 2 I had. Both forest green. The Grand Prix had a black vinyl top and the GTO had a white one. I stripped the vinyl tops off both of them. The GTO was T-boned and BENT beyond repair. The Grand Prix I had for 22 years, on and off the road, and 4 different paint jobs.

30 grand? Wow. I know it was rare compared to the GM lineup of super cars of that era. Olds had real success with the 442 while Buick was still trying to get rid of the "Father's car image".

That car pictured above... it recently sold for $163,000 at auction. https://www.yahoo.com/news/a-buick-grand-national-gnx-just-sold-for-record-116998332992.html

You get a few people biding on a car ,no doubt ,it could go higher than what their actually worth.
I've also seen car builders lose their arse in auctions

This is similar to my first car, a 74 LeMans, 2 door, luxury sport interior. Totalled by a firetruck! Second car was a 76 Lemans Sport Coupe (had to use the term "sport" loosely).

Theres a lot of cars that go un- noticed ,that look awesome when fixed up!
One car that I like better than the Impala is actually the Biscayne ,that car was kind
of swept under the rug.
The body is more shorter an make a better muscle car!

Another one ...Nothing but style on that fine a$$!

Another one that I love is this one ,69 Ford torino Gt.....

My friend had this when we were in high school ,posi trac rear end & 4 spd trans on 390....

I have always been fond of the boattail Riviera, pre-73. It should have been built in a smaller platform though. Would have been proportionally better on the mid-sixties Riv chassis

My boss, at the time, bought one brand new and I got to drive it. I always compared the rear styling to a giant '64 corvette. Just beautiful. The driver's seat would swivel when you were getting in our out.

It wasn't a big car to me at the time since I was driving a '66 Oldsmobile Toronado. This one's not mine, but I had a white one. This was also the first American front wheel drive car since the Cord in the 30s.

And here's that super cool "Bathroom scale speedometer".

I never saw anything like that. What a brilliant design.

Lol...I found it when I seen this one!

An how it was made!

That's pretty darn cool. Never even seen this before let alone knew the VW beetle would be able to pull a camper.

Well, since it's now October....

Happened across this when I stopped to check the power steering fluid... Very nice little animal! Sadly, the Ford that was towing it was broke down... I helped the guys out with a few tools but had to leave to pick up the kids at school before they got rolling again... Cost me 2 screwdrivers... Cheapos, no big loss. Worth the price of admission!

Years ago, across the street from where I worked there was a guy who had a twin to this. It was pretty funny wathing a 6'8" guy doing wheelies around the parking lot in that thing! DEFINITELY makes me smile!!!
