I need a picker-upper (snowing today)

[Wayne M.]

Today, while the eastern part of the continent has their air conditioners on, our furnaces are needed out here in western Canada.

Going through my old pics and came across this one that says-it-all. Daytona Beach late April 1975. I was down there on vacation with a '65 coupe I had back then. Driving up and down the beach, you'd come across a half dozen C2's.

There -- I feel better already .

Alright Wayne, this becomes one of those pictures that brings out all kinds of comments...like the front left bumper looking a bit out of line, the '67 Mustang in the back and ooh, the nice tanned pair...Ive said too much.

There's a car in that picture? Hmmm. I must have overlooked it.

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier Wayne, we've been in and out of the pool the last few days. Water temp is 29 and holding, air temps were up to 33-34. New records for this part of the world.

That photo beats anything ever seen on Longueuil Beach!

I went out to my truck after work 111 degrees 37 c . Too hot to drive the 64 convertible in Mississauga Ont. Will send you some heat.

I live barely a half hour from where that picture was taken, but I don't intend to take my Vette there. It's too hot, and by the time I'd be heading home, the T-Storms would be around.

It's always something no matter where you live. Just got to take the good with the bad and appreciate every day for how unique it is.

Only in Calgary. Just Tuesday had the car out polishing & detailing for a show on Saturday instead we are looking at cold weather and snow.

Oh to be on that beach.

Do people still wonder why others WANT a 63/7? Waiter, give Mr. Cole, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Shinoda, Mr. Arkus-Duntov and the rest of those folks gathered around those crossed flags another one, on me.

OK, I forgot the technical component on this thread. Please note absence of day/night mirror flipper on this 1966 .

OK Wayne - Stop dreaming and "picker-up" your snow shovel and take car of that white stuff on your driveway. That one day of summer you have up your way will be there soon. It's a nice sunny day here in Northern New Mexico. Pete

Hey Ken what show was that? I think the Camaro and Firebird club had planned on a show at Deerfoot mall but I thought that was on Sunday? Probably cancelled now anyways.....

By the way Wayne that's a really nice pic. Every time I see a pic like that I wish that I had grown up in that time and that place!

Sooooo are those hood and headlight gaps typical for a production car or do you think it's been in a body shop or two?

I own a condo in Daytona Beach Shores and sit on the balcony watching the beach "traffic" for hours. Don't see many C-2s on the beach these days however.

Now you said that was a 65 coupe? Man I am struggling with that. Looks like a vert to me!
