Falcon Ranchero

“Bondoville” that’s hilarious. Hinting at what lies under the paint I assume.

That is very a beautiful car; I remember one episode of Columbo and wherever the place was he was investigating, they had a fleet of company cars that looked exactly like this. Coupla pics

That sure is one nice Bonneville; really like the big ones. If it were up to me I'd want to get a big car, but since owning a classic is a family affair right now, we went the intermediate muscle route, though I'm not dissapointed. One day though I'll have a "land yacht".

Like the colour combo and the wheels

Almost forgot to throw the engine in.

Thanks. It actually isn’t a true Sprint; it has a 350. The stripe was added on because the guy who restored it (also the guy we bought it from) thought it was too blue what with the body colour bumpers so he added the stripe to break up the too blue theme of the car. But if I were to get a 6 cylinder car, it would totally have to be Pontiac OHC. I read about it in an issue of Collectible Automobile and it’s pretty neat. Plus the engine itself looks cool.

Curious to know if anyone else owns a '69 Pontiac, be it a big Bonneville or a smaller Firebird. Even a Beaumont would count. Haven't seen too many other 1969 Pontiacs at shows other than GTO Judges and one other LeMans.

Smallest one yet; maybe because the weather was kinda dumb but it was nice. Parked beside some nice people in a Mustang convertible. Brought the bike again, though the car got more interest this time around, however there wasn't much of an audience, just car owners so that might've been why. Coolest car I thought was a Pontiac Ventura which appeared to have the front bumper and lower chin of a '69 Camaro.

Yeah I liked that one too. One of the Poncho’s is mine by the way, in case you didn’t know. It’s the blue ‘69 LeMans

Checked another off the list

Was able to take my bike to the A&W show last night. Got more interest than the car. Going to bring it more often I think. There's a show on Saturday in Goulais River, 20 or so minutes up the highway. Have to sacrafice the spare tire in favour of the bike, since the bike won't fit otherwise.

Ok, here it is, was able to talk to the owner when it parked. He had literally just got it so this must've been it's first public debut. He got it from some 91 year old guy who bought it new and basically kept it in his garage since '73. Has extremely low milage for a wagon, and a clean running 440. It's an original Soo car, having been sold out of Superior Chrysler delaership, which still sells Chryslers here today. Has original paint and absolutely immaculate original interior. He did have to fix a few things, but otherwise, this is it.

Great show. Smaller than usual, but just as nice. Star of the show was a 1973 Chrysler Town and Country wagon...

I really didn't know that using an ad blocker actually stops money from coming into the site, really I didn't. I've just been using the ad blocker on my computer because on the ipad I don't use one and the ads sometimes pop up in really horrible places, and are usually advertising stuff I don't really want to be seeing, namely the Temu ads that bombard the forum when I go on the ipad. Unfortunately though, right now, I really can't pay to not see ads, can't do that right now. If free ad blockers aren't permitted on here anymore, then that's fine, I'll just have to face the ads I guess.

If the pay thing happens, it's not going to make the site acknowledge I'm using a free ad block to get around paying to have no ads, right? I've been on other sites that won't even let you go on unless your ad blocker is turned off. And then I get all ads on the site. As long as the forum still lets free ad blockers stop ads without having to pay premium, then that's fine. I just don't want to pay to be on here is all.

Looking clean; I wouldn't change the wheels, they do look very nice. But I am a whitewalls/hubcaps kind of guy. The Riv looks great with the stock wheels.

Well that's great I had no idea; i've been doing it the hard way for over a year now.

So far only got ‘57 and ‘58 T birds

I have a suggestion; sometimes I like to go back and find past threads of my models that I posted but it’s kinda tricky going through all those pages to find it, so what if there was like a “view my threads” section maybe in the drop down in the top right, where you’re taken to a list of all the threads you created anywhere in the forum. DISREGAURD-THIS FEATURE EXISTS ALREADY

I second this. Right now anyway I like the layout.

I’ve seen him on the auctions on tv; that must’ve been the first time I saw him. Also really liked his other show, Junkyard Gold. He’s like a walking encyclopedia of car history knowledge.

Nice and warm/sunny today. Hottest day this week is tomorrow, high of 26 degrees (celsius), should be a good, comfortable temperature in the evening tomorrow for the A&W car show. There's another on Saturday in Goulais River but the forcast has been switching all week from rain to sun on Saturday so I'm hoping the show'll happen. Right now switched to 40% rain, whereas this morning it was sun, whereas yesterday it was 60% rain and thunderstorm so I dunno.
