Well I opened a Chevron Station and after about a year a guy made me an offer while I had the motor out doing some upgrades and I needed the cash flow. looking at what it is worth now   :eek I was a dumb ass.

Oh did I tell you I also had a 64 GTO convertible, a 1966 Impala SS 396 4 spd convertible, and a 65 Chevelle SS. Oh yeah and the 67 Nova SS.  Most of them were projects I never finished and traded or sold them away.

I kick my self in the ass ever time I think of them. My nick name back then was Buy, Sell, Trade Callahan

OK, 1971 Buick Gran Sport 455. Bought the piece-o-crap in North Jersey in 1981 for $350  :)  Rebuilt and repainted.

This is when I got it in '81;



This is out here in AZ in the early 90's ;



And now she's come full circle to piece-o-crap  :D



It's actually primered now and ready for paint. The engine's on the stand and ready to go. I'll get the boats interior off of it (and back in the boat) go through the Turbo 400 and start getting her back together this spring!

Thanks man  :)  The ol' Buick has been through a number of incarnations over the years. Never did anything too stupid to ruin it though. Car's ran 12.18 @110 mph even at 4100 pouinds with power windows and seats! Worse thing was tossing all of the A/C stuff back in '81. Hot Rods don't have A/C  :rolleyes  Boy If I knew I would end up in the Phoenix...... It's been a cruiser, street racer and everything in between. It'll go back together with a strong, but civil motor and rear gears. And maybe a Vintage Air A/C system!  I have a gutted Skylark / GS clone out back with a roll bar as well as a set of Stage 2 Aluminum Buford heads. That one can be the racecar....one day!

Nah, I've taught myself how to rebuild just about everything on a car myself as well as bodywork and painting, but the one thing I've never really messed with (successfully) was the inside of an auto tranny, too many springs and check balls and stuff :confused  I'm going to drop it off at Hughes Performance here in town. The tranny was good when it came out of the Skylark, it's just been sitting for 13 years. They'll clean it and check everything. I also want them to look at an issue I have with the output shaft.

Thanks man I appreciate the offer! You're just a jack of all trades aren't you  :D

Got most of the interior back in the boat today  :)  I'll give it a good bath tomorrow! The guy that's going to do my drive is off sliding down a slippery mountain  :(  Guess now we're going to try and go down to Tucson Friday now (if he's going to be there!;) Have to call him Tue. or Wed.

You're welcome!. Well it seems like everytime I've paid to get something done, I get it back worse than when I took it in so screw it, I'll do it myself that way I know it's done right and that's the way I do it for anyone else!!... :good
