Cool cars I've worked on or seen.

[JoeCool]

I currently work at John Hiester Chevrolet. I used to work at a Ford dealer in Cary, NC also. I won't mention their name because I refuse to give those assholes any free advertising. Anyway, during the past 11 years I have seen a lot of cool cars come through. I could talk about the Volt, but nah. I just want to show the REALLY cool ones...

These are some of the latest...

Yesterday I worked on a 1969 El Camino SS396. Badass but I don't know WHY IN THE HELL he put whitewalls on it.

Because white walls were big in 69. Probably came from the factory with white walls. keeping it original !!! Nice truck, wish it were mine!!

Nope 1969 did not come with whitewalls, they came with redlines. 1970 up came with white letters. I am sort of a guru on Chevelle's and El Camino's as they are my favorite cars. And the Crager SS wheels are not original either.

[alabama_lowlife]

Back when I worked at a stereo shop after college, we had a Viper in once. I got to drive it straight out the door and park it lol about 30 ft total.

[JoeCool]

You guys are hijacking my thread but that's OK. As a matter of fact, lets make this for all mechanics, etc. Any cool vehicles you work on, post 'em up!

Just remember... :pics:

[Swschz]

Seriosuly.....you pay 40k for a car and you want another 15 bucks for a license plate bracket? Shouldnt a license plate bracket be standard anyway?

Did a gear change on the Chevelle, and ran the valves on the solid lifters in the 'vette. Couldn't get it in the pic, but there was a Hugger Orange 69SS Chevelle sitting to the side as well as a HOK Raspberry Purple 58 Del Ray with a 3 duece small block and a 4 speed...

[Thor]

Is the vette a 65 or 66? From the pic it can only be one of the 2 years. Still a 327 car? I see it doesnt have the big block hood. Still looks pretty clean. Even though I no longer work on vettes I still have a soft spot for them especially the mid years :)

[Thor]

Oh and Joe Cool I just hate transformers and am not a fan of the car so both together makes me want to beat it with a bat lol

[Swschz]

at a dealership, we have had a bunch of cars come in:

came in for an oil change one morning..... the Dodge dealership is right next door!!!

Drove into the service drive one evening, sat for about 30 min and drove off:

was towed in several years ago to have the tires replaced:

came in several years ago for engine work, never completed because it ended up being abandoned, and it eventually was towed out for an unknown fate:

I'm not a mechanic by any means, mostly just work on my own stuff and do stereo equipment installs, but I did get to work on the amp and whatnot in this car once. This is one of my friends' cars. It's not original, he rebuilt it from a rusted out carcass.
