Thumbs up Why I asked the Q

Sooo BTT...here's a literal parking lot find I dug up from 1999 (hence the low quality image). I saw a twin sell to this one sell @ the recent 2013 Houston Mecum auction.

IIRC - I spoke to the teenage driver who had driven to the local ice-cream stand.

Note the factory 8-track on this all original 1971 GTO Convertible.

Arrow Pontiac Night Stalkers

Here's a "double-dip" fitting the parking lot AND car show parking lot (garage) theme.

It's a late night photo I took at a Pontiac Southern Nats (PSN) meet @ the designated hotel parking garage.
I'd already edited it yrs ago with the "Night Stalkers" text. I found in the same achive file as the my prior images.

Wink "and One Time in Silverton, CO..."

While driving from Grand Junction to Durango to ride the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Train;
I stopped for gas in Silverton.

Then took a quick drive through town, and found this parked on Main Street as you see it.

It was driving around full of people in the back the next day.

I'm getting better at stopping for a photo when I see something cool.
I got quite a few in two trips to the mid west last summer.

I hope this is ok. Not a pic, but a youtube clip someone loaded up. Our club has a show each June. During the show we go for a cruise and last year we stopped in a car park next to a coffee place. Ended up on youtube... My GP shows up about a minute in. Some other Pontiacs too.

I'm always impressed at how well our cars are done in other countries. We've got it easy getting parts, compared to you guys.

Did you take the Durango-Silverton train and hop off to hike mid-way or elsewhere?
When stopping scheduled for boiler water refills and along the river, several hikers would exit.
Some for return that day, others a few days, or week later scheduled return.

Beautiful country from any aspect IMO.
