I can see why they had a problem parking the Cadillac and ended up on the sidewalk. the curb feelers don't reach the curb!

Drove out to Downingtown Pennsylvania to get some sway bars and other stuff from "Chris Parts" (fb marketplace handle) goes by CGimbel on gbodyforum. The guy is one of a kind. He salvages and parts out probably a dozen cars a year... he literally had seven aluminum core supports on hand and as many sets of heavy sway bar for G-Body. Every spot of the property is another discovery. He has a wall shelf filled with 200-4R (a dozen or more) of desirable RPO code labeled... some are from Monte Carlo SS others are from 442 others are for Turbo Buick.

Everything is for sale including this 1980 Cutlass wagon with 39,000 original miles on a 260 SBO. Must have been kept under a carport because the dash and the seats are not cracked. If I had found this car at any time before I found my Monte Carlo and my Cutlass notchbacks, I would have bought this. I have seen more wagons on Chris's property than I have seen on the marketplace

Saw this picking up one sick Jr. Mechanic this morning.

Heard this as I walked out my door this morning, sounded very healthy and to be a stick

First one, I couldn't see, but I assume his neck matched the rear axle.

Second one looks like something I would drag home

what's that row of round red things above the diff? does he have air horns mounted down there?

I'd guess so. In fact, my boss bought a 51 Chevy truck that had a "La cucaracha" horn setup under the hood...and they looked just like that
I figure either that or "Dixie". depending on nationality. Could go either way around here, both the hillbilly bros and vatos favor semi wheels on duallies
