Yes it does. I have always been interested in the vintage items. This summer when I attend the GoodGuys nostalgia meet I am hoping to pick up some vintage sinage to hang on my shop walls. A lot of the metal signs I got for free from the salvage yards like tire signs or oil/parts signs ect..all that stuff is cool! :mrgreen: www.genuinehotrod.com sells re-pop signage and automotive insignias all re-pop of course. Check out those vintage signs and art from the era!

The sad truth is No, but I am willing to accept it as a gift if anyone wants to send it to me. :twisted: :s005: :s009: (joke)

Thanks a lot for your offer, Eddie! :thumbsup: I can´t accept it without sending anything in return though. Do you already got this Plymouth Barracuda-book (soft cover, 106 pages)? My suggestion is that we swap these two books in case you think it is a good idea.

Btw; I have three copies of this book (all of them in great condition) so the offer to trade is open to anyone else who has something to trade. Nothing much, just something you think I might need.

I guess Quicksilver and Martyn Schorr did a few books.

Yes, that is a DOHC 455 Olds engine that got cancelled when emission laws tightened up.

I know it is very much Pontiac biased, but Jim Wangers book is interesting from a historical context point of view. I guess we all look back at the sixties with rose coloured spectacles. It is nice to read a book about someone who was there and did it.
