I absolutely agree! all of these stories are so incredible! so many people sharing all of their favorite moments, its so cool!
It was a little passion project of mine a few months ago to start compiling information from every crevice of memory and the internet to create a registry of the rare muscle cars that were in the WNY area. this thread has catapulted this project way higher than I expected. I haven't updated my registries totally for a few weeks now, and I've added so much. I'm hoping to have everything updated as much as possible by the new year to post here as Google Sheets or Excel (depends on which works better for everyone here) Ill update it as long as im still looking for cars to add, and im not even 20 yet so expect many more years of these registries expanding everyone!

This picture was taken at Crystal Beach, Ontario in July of '79. All of the cars were from WNY. I had just turned 20 yrs old and I'm wearing the red shorts...
Left to right: 69 442 4sp, 69 RAIII 4sp (my car), 68 Firebird 400 4sp, 65 Skylark auto, 67 Delmont 425 auto (still owned) and the 70 Stage 1 auto in GSX paint scheme. All but the Firebird were ragtops and unfortunately the the 2 Pontiacs didn't survive. Fun times and Canadian beer!

Spent a lot of weekends at Crystal Beach. My buddy had a cottage there and then it was off to Sherkston Quarry .we also spent a lot of time with the cars at Chestnut Ridge. I’ll post a picture.
