    And the big one... a 66 Bonneville that is currently in body work. It started with a 389, then had a Caddy 500, and now will be getting a Duramax/4L80E combo. Count the lug nuts and comment at will:

    I miss having a big car. Prior boats n barges-

    69 Impala 2DR 327 with a powerglide 77 Pontiac Bonneville 4dr (301 blew-installed a 76 Trans AM 400) 85 Chevy Impala 305HO (ex municipal car) 69 Buick Electra 225 (430)

    I would like to find another full size Buick-Olds-or Pontiac

    The 69 Buick was about 2 feet longer than my fullsize 99GMC Sierra ext cab
