Miramar's Hot Rod Magazine sponsored car show



Mike's.
Mike has been the manager of the hobby shop on the base at Miramar since before I was stationed there in '95. He taught me a lot, helped me a bunch, and of the 6 Navy base hobby shops I've used, has the best run one. Thanks Mike!

This is the nicest Impala I've seen in a long while

My '69 Coronet R/T

The convertible '70 GTX that Plymouth should have made


The cool Torino that showed up just before I left the show, but wasn't in the show... goes to prove what I say to myself every car show, cool stuff is in the parking lot at every car show.

Military bases have such cool backdrop static displays, and this is one of the largest.

GTX, the luxury Road Runner


1970 build your own convertible GTX, from Virginia, (cool plates)

Of course Plymouth didn't make any, so this cool guy decided he was the right man for the job of adding one to the lexicon. Really, look at this, and tell me what was the brain trust at Mother Mopar thinking when they didn't do this? It's a no brainer for sure.

Just take and find one of the 700 or so ever made convertible Satellites (yeah, right... good luck finding one for sale) add the GTX grill and tail light parts. Put together a bitchin' 440, add some Lakewood bars if you like the look, shoe it with terrific looking Torque Thrust D's, put the GTX emblems behind the side scoops, and Bob's your uncle, (viola is so damn French, them buggers) you've got a damn fine looking and performing drop top.
Still a little course for some, but the owner said he's not looking to be worried about every scratch and ding, it's a machine for enjoying, not a trophy hunter. Rock on.

I just dig this view.

What greedy pig has to recycle the GTX and the Super Bee onto a truck?
