Didn't know Dan (postsedan) back then but probably would have beat him in a race if challenged!

Jim, I say... Hell no!

The only 2 cars that I would often race.... and lose. Was a 1972 Buick Skylark GS455, it was Dark Green, automatic, plates read.... "LastGS". Probably the reason I am now building a Buick Skylark 455. Funny how everything goes full circle?

The Buick owner was a loaner, he was always by himself. He never had a passenger. We all made fun of him because he wore black racing gloves. Off the line I had him everytime...but then right around 70mph, here he comes. His car was fast. I`d love to know where this car is today?

The second car I would always lose to was my buddies 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A..... Automatic, 3:90 gears.

My other buddies car was a Day 2 1973 Vega with a 350, It was scary. The back tail panel read...."Suicide is Painless"

Those were the days.

If you continue talking about buicks, you are going to be a loner by yourself too!!

Heres the latest photo I found of the old "09" thats my sisters wildcat in the back. I'd say in the early 80's

Bill heres a photo of the black 64 I recently found. That car was remarkable. You can see Tenny's vette in the back!!!!

FYI- I drove past Duke's last night at about 10pm and it was closed. I would have thought that some cars would have still been there..

Wadda you know? Another Nassau Blue '62. And I thought that was a fairly rare color

It beat an LS-6? Boy oh Boy oh Boy, I can't wait to get mine back on the road.......

So where is that '62 now????

Carl - those are great shots, thank you. I'll keep everyone posted on status of the blue 62. I now know where it is................thanks to an sYc member by the way..........

Bill S. - I asked Emo this weekend (while out in your old Donzi) if that was his old Black 64 that Carl owned - he did not know for sure, evidently Emo's had a white and red interior???? Is this the same car?

------Hi Jake,,,Im pretty sure this 64 pictured had white -on-red interior when we talked about the car on this sight a couple of years ago so it made a lot of sense that it was Emos old car. How many black/white gut 409/340 64 SSs could there be, especially in the Chicago area. Look up COPOs profile and you can see the white interior clearly!!!
------Im really happy that you are close to the Nassau Blue car. That would be super cool to have back in the family again........Mr.Bill,,,,Oh Nooooooo

I was by Duke's last night, apparently too late cause everything was closed up at 10pm and not a car in sight.
