"Baby Pictures" of your supercar....

this next one is also one of my favourite cars. It was a 1966 corvette 427-425 hrs speed that i purchased in 1972 and eventually sold it in 1979 or so. I had this car painted twice and my friend who i sold it to, and work on all of this stuff, owned it up until about 6 months ago did a body off restoration on it. Doug

the next one is my 1963 fuelie corvette 4 spd and 4:11 gear that i bought in 1981. I think it might have had original paint at the time but i wasn't sure. I started a body off on this one but sold it when i took a job out of the city i am in now with a law firm in london. I should definitely have kept this one. Doug

this is another one that i still have. I found the car for my brother in 1976 and bought it from him in 1986. We did a good clean up, or body on restoration if you will, a few years ago. My brother liked the green colour of my stratochief so he repainted this one in that colour. I returned it to the proper colour. I pulled the original engine and had sent it into the machine shop for a freshen up and stuck an extra 70 402 in it for the time with a 375 hrs cam. I haven't even reinstalled the engine yet; its wrapped in cellophane sitting on a cart beside the car. The car again is canadian only, being a 1968 beaumont sd, 396-350 hrs, turbo 400, power disc brakes, ps, tinted glass, am-fm, vinyl top, wood grain dash, power windows, tinted glass, red lines, fibre optics, rear defogger, all documented by gm vintage services. The pictures are from 1978 when i was building a garage at one of my houses. Doug

if you are interested this is how the last car looks now. I have a lot of current pictures of my existing cars but i'm not sure where they are. My computer self destructed last summer and i have to find them. If this set exists i would have thought all of the resto pictures of the stratochief would have as well and the 69 chevelle ss we are working on now. If i find them i'll send you a few. Have a great day, doug

Thanks again to Doug for sharing his past (and Present) cars


Doug, if you are interested...we could do a Members ride on both the StratoChief and the SD 396 Beaumont. You could send me a bunch more pics of both...and more details on both?

Holy Moly what a cool group of cars!! I have a soft spot for Beaumonts and the Strato Chief is cool too!

Thanks for posting Bruce!
