Pretty cool Shell station period pic!
I'd like to have those A.O.Smiths,as well as that metal windshield station.

Well, I hooked up the scanner to my new laptop, and went round in circles for awhile. I figured out it works a different way on this computer.
Anyway, here's the next one. This car was owned by the guy a few houses down from me. He had a string of Hipo Pontiacs ending up with this one. This photo is from 1971. He went through a few Pontiac motors with this car and finally ended up putting a 435 Hp 427 in it. He bought the engine from Lincoln Auto Wreckers just north of Seattle and put a big Holley carb and Edelbrock manifold on it and headers. This car had power everything on it and ran a 13:00 on it's first pass. It was a 4spd car. The custom paint was by 'Boots Pinstriping' in Vancouver BC, and was pretty wild for the time.
I'd have to say that this guy had a huge influence on me getting into cars. There were always nice cars hanging around his house, and guys going through the gears as they left.
Back then the high riding look was in vogue.

Awesome! Would be so cool to be able to buy a picture book full of these kinda pics.

I keep encouraging people to dig out their old photos, even if they only have a couple, so I can scan them.

Here's a side shot of the Cuda that I posted racing in the other thread.

Sorry this one is a little blurry. It's a 67 Beaumont SD396 taken about 1971 at the Vancouver Custom Car Show. Nice color combo, black with red.
Excuse the mega dust particles.

This 427 Biscayne was from Bellingham WA, and I saw it at different events over the years. I think, by the wheels it has on it, that this photo is late 70's, early 80's.
