Holy Crap! I have tried 4 freakin times to put in a nice post and some pictures of my Beauty. BUT, I somehow click on the wrong thing and going back thru History wasn't any help. There was all kinds of history but nothing I want or typed in. So this will be the 5th time I have written this so please remember I am kinda frustrated and plain old pissed off.
I bought a brand new IROC-Z in 1989. Someone had stolen it off the show room floor and 3 blks from the show room slid sideways into a pole. So they had to sell the car as used even tho it wasn't. So I bought my IROC-Z and was so excited I drove around for the first hour just screaming as loud as I could. I BOUGHT A F'ing IROC-Z. It was sitting behind the shop with both doors open to the weather, dash was out with wires hanging around all over. It really looked wrecked. So I bought it, they put it back together put a gallon of gas in and way I went. Oh man... Anyhow a few years ago Beauty hit 2 hundred thousand miles and I had a new pumped up 350 dropped in. It has all the power stuff that I used to be able to recite and now I can't. It's faster than anything. So I started getting tickets. This motor is very fast, and I'm still driving it like before with the old motor.. So I get all kinds of tickets. Damn! I burn out from a light, I'll slide sideways around a corner, I hot rod the hell outa this new motor. And it goes like a bat outa he*ll. Nuff said, here's Beauty...

I hope you enjoyed my story and the pictures. I'll maybe be able to post this instead losing it. I have no patience for typing I just want to get it over with...

Loved your story Maggie! That looks like a fast car!

These pictures are great. Keep them coming. I know there are more out there.

I love the Iroc-z. I had one right after high school. I got car jacked when I drove it downtown Detroit for school. They found it ran into a telephone pole about a half mile away totalled. It was a sad story. I was stupid I know.
Here is my current collection:
My Grand National
On the dyno. It was making 350 hp to the tires.

In the driveway. We no longer have the magnum. (I wouldn't let the lawn crew weedwack that close to the GN while it was there so the driveway looks better now )

Our TJ

My beast of a truck

My dream car that I will never have for as long as I am in my current job.

My dad was a big car buff. He bought and restored the older Ford phaetons. While I was growing up we had a 35 and a 36 Ford Phaeton. When I was in high school I used to cut school and "steal" my dad's car and go joy riding along the beach (in San Francisco). I didn't have a license. I'm sure lucky I was never caught. Well, by the cops, that is. My dad did catch me one time, but that really didn't put an end to it.


This is what the '36 looked like, only ours was black:

VERY cool!

 

[Spn785]

I'm not a big car guy, because I can't drive, but my Dad is. He is still restoring his '66 Lemans convertable which he totalled before I was born. LOL He bought a '03 Jaguar XJR (no he wouldn't settle for the 6 cylinder, or the 8, he HAD to have the Supercharged 8 LOL), and got pulled over TEST DRIVING it for doing 170. LMAO Luckily it was in Chicago so he just gave the cop some cash and let him drive it.

Now here is a picture of my dream car, if I could drive.

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Got a '34 Ford truck out in the barn that my brother and I are playing with...when finished it'll look like this one...

but have a modern 4-cyl. engine, modern standard tranny, and one bitchin' sound system.

My wife, on the other hand, is waiting for my brother and I to finish this '35 for her:

If you are gonna dream out of your price range you have to dream just a little bigger!! haha

The first one isn't out of price range.. it's out of my nameplate range. I can only drive the brand that I personally drive according to my contract.

 

[immayo]

Oh wow that is even more lame!! That would drive me absolutely insane if I could afford a car I really wanted but wasn't allowed to have it. Do you work for another car company???

I work for a man on the board of one of the companies that shares a last name with one of the companies. He tolerates (barely) the hobby jeeps and the car I inherited but not so much with any non-hobby new vehicle purchases.

I prefer big American V8 motors all muscle. If I could get another car it would either be a '66 or brand new Corvette with a big motor with all the extras to make it faster. I don't care much for all the bells and whistles, I just want the stuff that makes it faster with more horsepower. I am totally about faster. Years ago I took a driving course at the Bob Bondurant school of driving. Too cool, we slid on water and did all kinda fun stuff they arrest you for if a cop sees you doing that on the street...TMF!!!
This car has 20 incch wheels and a 6 speed transmission. Then he asked me to go to the L.A. Airport and take possession of it and drive it to Dallas but I had to first go to Phoenix, then drive to my house in Oregon THEN...go to Dallas.
This car has the best sound system I have ever heard all operated from the steering wheel. Listening to In A Gadda Da Vida at 100 MPH going across the Mojave was almost orgasmic. Remember, I am 67 years old and think I have been there and done that. I owned and operated an auto drive away. And was a long distance truck driver who would take any opportunity to deliver a car. This car blew my mind, that's why I have so much trouble typing posts and talking. The car was the fastest from a stand still than any car I've known before and it just went so fast for ever...just for ever.. I was so much in love with The Silver Streak. But Bob didn't like it and sold it to someone who wasn't me...the jerk
I am so laughing...Bob!!! It just hits me...My friend Bob who bought and sold the Silver Streak is way different from the Bob who is my love the tortoise. ..Well...they have being a jerk in common...

This is what I use to have and miss it a lot.

Now this is what my boyfreind has and he is doing a complete restoration to the interior. We will be cruising down to San Diego in May for the Plastic Fantastic. We will be cruising with about 20-30 C3 so far(more to come)and will be meeting up with all different Corvettes. It will be a lot of fun.

OMG!!! Too much, I mean that you got rid of it, not the car itself.
hahaha
It sounds like you are gonna have a lot of fun on that trip. It always so much fun to get together with other people who have the same interests...

Entered my car in a car show this Saturday! I am super excited and hope I win something. I have been detailing the inside of my car all morning!

Fun day yesterday! Figured I'd post a few pics

Here's one a buddy of mine took of my car:

This engine bay cracked me up! It was a hamster powered Scion IQ! The hamster was actually moving the wheel:

And this rare beauty:
