That wagon must have had the warranty work (overheated because of a 2-row radiator, and AC in the California heat) done (new, larger radiator and an engine rebuild) and the people just wanted it gone. Those things were famous at my dealership, for overheating. I remember one with a blued converter, it got so hot. I'm amazed that it actually hadn't caught fire.

One of our customers had a '69 SS 427 Impala convertible. It was drop-dead gorgeous, but it was only 3 years old at the time. It had a light color interior (I think "parchment?") and was a color that I would call "amethyst". Man, that was a nice looking ride. I went and looked up paint colors from '69, and that color wasn't on the list. Probably special order.

Curiosity got the better of me, I went and looked for the color. Cadillac "Wisteria Firemist". A pic-

What a car to rent. :) My Impala just floated down the road. Nothing better than putting the top down on a summer night and cruising it.

About the best car I ever rented was a Mustang GT convertible. I actually didn't rent it. My company did. They were short on vehicles so they got a contract with Enterprise Rent A Car so they would have enough cars to get everyone out the door. It was a pain.

I went to Enterprise with a guy from my crew. All they had left was the Mustang. My guy was all happy that he was getting the convertible.

I told him that he wasn't getting the convertible. I was. He could take my crummy truck. I'm taking the car. Rank has its privileges. :lol:

Ok, CG dared so I will too. Not saying which is me, though

Are you the one in the pink dress???

First row second from left

Hint: I'm wearing a surfer shirt, if you remember what those were. Two of us are wearing one. My buddy Jimmy Nine is wearing a red "Poderosa shirt". Remember those?

hmmm

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I remember seeing a couple of those back in the day. Nothing like raising the center of gravity on a car with a cushy suspension and old school 78 series radial tires to get your pucker factor to the max.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Not an old picture of me , but a picture of old me. My Wife took these pictures on Thursday morning. First time I have ever been in 4 States at once. I drove around the 4 Corners Monument to park in Arizona just to say I drove through 4 States to get there. :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

My wife took took this pic of an unfriendly guy that just woke up. Yeah. It's me. I don't wake up well. I should be glad that I still wake up at all. My drivers license picture is worse. I look like someone that you would see on the news as a serial killer or run away from. :lol:

Dang I'm getting old.

If you dare a hair cut and shave it all off always gives a new younger look !!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Keith Richards' older brother! :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

OUCH!!

Maybe you'd wake up better if you went to sleep w/o your hat on, or at least a better hat than that one!! :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I can tell the suspense is killing everyone. I thought it would be fun to have you guys guess since it's been a while since that picture was taken. It was the year the Chevelle came out. I'm in the middle row, fourth from left

Where did you get the beanie with a propeller that looks like a ceiling fan? :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Well, I can't build furniture out of knotty pine, because I scare the knots right out of the wood! :waah:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

At least it's not a "Raiders" hat so he gets a little credit.:lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I hate to break it to you but this is my Jeep.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...um/Raiders.jpg

I didn't put it on there It was there when I bought the Jeep. I'm afraid that it might jack up my paint if I try to take it off or some Raiders fans might see me trying to take it off and beat the sh*t out of me. :lol:

I did go to a Raiders game once and survived. :)

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Hey, I was a Raiders fan back in the 70s - 80s. Oakland Raiders and others before many of them began swapping towns.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

You guys are just jealous because I'm a hunk a bunk of burning love. All the ladies want me and all the guys want to be me. :lol:

And I look better than Keith Richards. Not much better, but still better. Maybe? Kinda sorta? If the room is dark enough I look pretty darn good. :lol:

My wife only turns off the lights to save electricity. That's what she told me and I believe it. :confused:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: Ya know I'm just teasing! Looking better than Keith Richards isn't a compliment, though. My wife wants it dark, too. Hmm...

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I got a buddy who is a die hard Raiders Fan, one game was enough for me. My favorite NFL team is ....whomever is beating the Raiders.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I don't dislike the Raiders. But if I saw a bunch of guys in Raider's jacket's walking up to me on the sidewalk in East LA, I'd cross the street real fast. I grew up in LA and I've been to Oakland. Nuff said. :exit:

But in all honesty. Dodger and Laker fans aren't much better. They can get a little crazy too. Everyone in California is crazy. I seem normal here. And that's saying a lot.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I don't even watch Football anymore. They cured me when they started kneeling.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Just peel it off. If it messes up the paint you can put an Orioles sticker over it! He's a cute little bird :lol:
