I traded the Monte to my dad in about '88 for the '59.... wish I still had that.

yep... dark green interior. The car had A/C a tilt wheel and idiot lights. It came from the factory with 15x6 rallys and no trim rings.... I added the rings. I installed one of the green digital Pioneer Supertuner III's in the dash.

IIRC, the 15X6s were Corvette-only. Are you sure they weren't 15X7??

G'Day Mates,

Sorry if this is a repost.
If you have 20mins to spare and are a fan of drag racing, some really cool pics in this slide show.

Here are a couple of pictures for you Steve. They are not 1980 or older but we were definitely younger. These were taken some time in the mid 1990's. Your Rodgers Jet boat with a 428 Pontiac (thats me hugging it in the one picture).

Here is one of me in front of my cousin Ed's 1970 GMC Astro. The picture was taken in 1979. I wanted to be a gear jammer in those days.

I thought it was odd at the time too... but I am 100% positive as 15x6 was clearly stamped on the wheels. Prior to me getting the car... the wheels never had a ring on them. In hidsight.... I probably should've gotten the codes off them.... Bt it was the '80's and I was 18.

You were probably singing that Deep Purple song that day. "Torque on the water"
Must've been sweet!

Those were some good times Matt and we'll do it more in the future. Maybe have Cameron on board one day too.

Nice to see some locals

I bought my '04 Goat from Lehmer's back when they were in their old location at Willow Pass and Gallindo. Amazing that they are still holding together in the brand new big building.
