This car is also pretty rare, it is a Dodge Charger 2.2. Only 8,000 were built.

Nobody caught on to my little line?

As in past tense? "BUILT"

Wasn't it "Rich" Corinthian leather?

Gadzooks. I had a girlfriend in high school who drove a Fiero. What an awful little car. *Shudder* The Fiero GTs, on the other hand...

Classicfan1, keep going! MORE stuff to share, please. I love this thread. I kept reading it several times already.

I've been busy, but, OK, ya got me. I'll tell ya what I meant. I was referring to the rock theme Pontiac had in the mid-late 80s, the line was "We build excitement!". Since Pontiac is dead, crucified by GM, I used past tense.

I wish I could get the full version of the song, but here is one of those commercials from 22 years ago, in 1988.

Here we go!

Another find at the same sale where the T-Bird parts came from. I got these for free, and they went to a 1972-1974 Cadillac Eldorado. The sold for about $27.00 last winter, so they didn't sit for long! I still have the Foreigner and REO Speedwaogn records, they are sitting in the stereo and they work.

A tube radio from the same sale, I havent really bothered with it much, I got home to find it was a mess inside, got a local radio repair person may buy it for salvage. I only paid $1.00 for it. Perhaps...

In spring 2009, I bought a box of old vintage GM parts for $5.00. I've sold a good amount of them. This window crank went into a 1969 Camaro:

This switch (NOS?) went into a second gen Firebird:

In 2007, my mom moved into a new house with it, came a few treasures left by the former owner who had passed away. From a vintage World Series ticket stub to this April, 1969 Kelsey-Hayes Brake Controller. The Ticket stub was from 1977 I think and sold in the $30 range.

Coming tomorrow: My history of rotary phones and CAR SHOW CRUISE PICS!

That '69 Camaro window crank handle is identical to what Chevy used on my '67 Bel Air and on a much newer cargo van I dealt with last year. So Chevrolet (and maybe other divisions of GM) used it for several years. I'd be curious to know what all it could have come from. Simple design, no need to keep changing it, more cost effective that way.

I looked up part numbers and the parts ranged from about 1967-1981. The newest being an A/C blower clearly labeled "81 GP". The oldest being that crank handle and a wiper fluid pump from circa 1967.

Dang, I've been busy. Anyhow, I forgot the camera at the show-DANGIT! But, I never said WHICH CAR SHOW PICS! Here some pics from when the HOT ROD Power Tour came through last year:
