Virginia Garage and House - Let the process begin.

I am pretty sure a Willis truck bed is pretty much the same. I say it counts!

Siding is going on. Framing inspection next week, then insulation and sheetrock. Moving in the right direction.

Look at what I found in my shed.

1970 1/2 Z28 Numbers matching. Low mileage.

And also the keys to this SRT

The Hurst Olds is one of three my buddy owns. This decal is one of the best ever on a muscle car.

My current man cave has a new owner, who is letting me live there and store my cars. He just got a new Z06 and needed to make room at home, so he wanted to know if it was OK to leave two cars under the shed. My junk needs to get out and get these cars under cover.

Now that's just mean posting those. Beautiful.

BTW, my house has similar color siding. That color looks great for years.

I wish I had pictures of the other 12 cars and the new Z06. We are going to be in Chicago for the unveiling of the 1965 Z16 Chevelle in Yellow with a black top. All numbers matching with at least a 10 year restoration. One of 201 produced and 1 of 70 est and documented on the Z16 Registry. It will be in Chicago the weekend before Thanksgiving. Something like 200-400 cars.

LoL, memories. My buddy's dad had a GS455 olds with that body style, then he sold it and bought the new body style GS455 around 1973 with hounds tooth interior. I got to ride in both of those plenty.
Another buddy had a dark green Z28 like that in which we did plenty of donut spins in parking lots. Another buddy bought a creamy '69 cuda used, black with perfect paint and body in 1974. It had aluminized headers and a nice dual exhaust. I think he paid either $1500 or $2000 for it. What a steal. Wish I had it now.

BTW, I really like your house too. But you have too many cars for that new barn/garage. Good problem.

Lifts are fully functional. This weekend I will start moving into the new garage.

In what is half of the garage with the three lifts (30W x 36'D out of 60' x 36'), I will be able to store 9 cars.

 

[hcallaway]

Giant 8' interior door to help get longer items up stairs.
Now I can do what I want to do since the builder is pretty much done.
All he has left is Electrical Panel and Gutters and any additional concrete if I have any money left.

I do wonder down the road how many of the new cars will evoke the kind of memories the old muscle cars did. My co-worker just got his BMW M4 (425 HP over the top performance limited to 144 MPH) but who will be able to keep it running in 30 years? Back in the 60's and 70's you had plenty of places and opportunities to wind it out without too much worry about being buried under the jail. If I get a careless and reckless now, I will not have a job. I never got to ride in an original hemi or a big block Cuda, but it sure was fun to see one driving down the road. When I was 16 there was a hot older girl (guessing mid to late 20's and she drove a 1971/72. Boss 351 Black with Silver Stripes. She was hot, the car was hot, the sound was hot. I don't want to think of her now as the 65 year old lady she is, but I bet she has some stories her grandkids would not believe.
