Just picked it up today, '69 caprice with a 396 big block from a '68 in it, more factory options than I knew existed in that year (power seats in '69?) and gorgeous interior except for the drivers side of the front seat.

Thanks, breh. 25000 rebuilt on both the engine and the transmission (th400) done at the same time. I dont want to jinx the thing, but the work looks increadibly solid to my mechanic, and I can't spot an issue, not that i necesarily would. The gears are long, so it doesnt take off from a dead stop as hard as it should, but you can kill tires in it without trying. Cost was in the four figures, a completely solid and resonable deal.

Nope, I got new doors and a new hood, I just have to mount them--theres a little more body damage than that, but that will mostly do it. She still drives fine, amazingly. They don't make cars like that anymore, if that had happened in anything made after 80, i would be dead. I even got the current passenger door to clasp and unclasp like new again after a half hour with a rubber mallet

I'm picking up the second car I've ever owned again this week. I gave it to my brother in law, he fucked it up further, then got a FWD something or other. The landlord's threatening to tow it, so I'm getting it back!

I don't have a pic of that particular car, but here is what it is



LOL @ there being so few of these cars in existence that when I type in "1975 Pontiac LeMans", my actual Cardomain pic for my car pops up at number 13.

I can't snag the pics from my page, so you'll have to look there if you wanna see it.

I got a funny, racist cool story bro, when I bought the ride. It had been restored by a couple, and the wife had the title in her name and had been refusing to sign it for a while. I'd only talked to the husband on the phone, and when I pull up at their place, she gets all upset. She and her husband had some kind of deal where if I was black she wouldnt have to sell it to me becase I woud ruin in by putting rims on it. So when a white guy in his 30s arrived, she was out of excuses. She told me all this after a few beers, and prefaced it with "im not racist but...."

It's kind of fucked up, but she had a valid point.

^ Depends on where you're at.

Texas Swangin' influences KC moreso than Cali or Florida does when it comes to cars, and they don't typically swang on 30's.

I would go so far as to say that all the different types of vehicle customization are bleeding into each other, though, which kind of validates the opinion.
