Here's some pics of classic cars most of which are restored in some nice colors. I hope you guys enjoy them. I dream of Ricks in some of these colors!!

I thought of Tony when I took the pics of this blue car because of it's name. The color is somewhere between Blue Boy and Azureglo:

I know it's probably the most tame of the bunch, but I think that burgundy Camaro is my favorite. That is one classy ride.

My fave is that crazy A-bone Tudor with the T-Bird 352 and the whacked-out back draft '49 Merc carb...I'm surprised the carb has the cojones for that motor! Anyway, it's like early '60s put into a blender with Star Trek.

Mmmmm, chrome! I like the El Camino, though '69 was the year for me.

Joey,

I said it before, I'll say it again......you are a man of VERY good taste!

You're right, I'm not a "blue guitar" guy.....but THAT MOODY BLUE color would be STUNNING on a bass.

I'm also in the camp with John, I LOVE that era Vette....a 427 ci doesn't hurt either..... :twisted:

Beautiful pictures.....sweet cars.....some GREAT ideas popping in my tiny brain!

Thanks for posting!
