Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

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

The car underneath mine is a 6800 mile original corvette.

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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

Can it do this https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif ?

Sweet Chevelle my color too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

Sweet ride. It makes me long for my old 67 Chevelle Malibu. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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?

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...

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

And here's to everyone who has said such nice things about the car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Thanks for the vote of confidence. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Should make for some nice shots, eh? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

We'll have to do some of this https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif and this https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Too bad about the Ultimate deal...though at least you'll be close to home. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Xplantdad has a Muscle car!
 

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