Tri 5 Chevys in Germany - grass is always greener

[zinz]

I just found out that one of our long-time employees in Germany has a '57 and a '55 Chevy, both of which he has spent years restoring!  Seems the grass is always greener on the other side of the pond... Willi is into old American Iron and I'm into BMW puff pastry and powdered sugar...

 

He even has a website for his cars...  http://www.willis-chevy.de/13665.html  (Google translate is your friend)

 

Kindred spirits, nonetheless.  ...of course I hit him up for old BMW parts

My car buddy down the street has 3 classic cars - a 55 chevy that is all original (very cool), a 71 Lotus Europa (in pieces) and a 73 Firebird (currently being turned into a vintage race car).  

 

Anyway - the chevy has 3 on the column.  It's crazy.

I have a co-worker whose husband has a 68 GTO being stored in a garage somewhere in MN.  Will get pics soon.  Anyone interested?  Think it is complete and drivable.

GTO...?

Firebird...?

 

don't know anything about Pontiacs...

 

 

 

Couldn't afford the Premium gas for the Judge as a college student... sold it and bought the '69 '02.

 

Wish I had them all back... The Firebird was a honey of a car.

It seems the Germans are crazy now for American muscle. They're snapping up a lot. It was a Japanese fad a few years ago that has seemingly past but the Germans are paying over the top money for old school American V8s and paying big bucks to have them shipped. I guess it's only fair since we're hoarding so many of their heritage cars.

It's not just american cars.  I've seen quite a few Ferrari 308's bought at top dollar here and shipped to Germany.
