Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Well, my “Back in Black” collection is now officially finished. I was lucky to find a very nice, all numbers matching, fully documented with original dealer paperwork and original ownership documentation, Black 1970 Cutlass W31 4 spd. Special thank you to Ben for selling me the car and special thank you to Stefano of Nickey’s for inspecting the car and verifying the accuracy of the car and authenticity of the car. The 1970 Cutlass W31 4 spd is now on its way to Nickey’s Chicago where Stefano and his crew will fully document the car and build a full portfolio on the car with documents and pictures of all numbers etc.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
We need one of those little guys holding a sign that says "photos please"...
Sounds like an amazing collection. |

There is something Great about a man that likes to be a mixed breed.
<span style="font-weight: bold">GM-Ford-Mopar</span> owning a few of each is the ultimate experience [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Nice cars all in Black. I only have one of each GM-Ford-Mopar but they are all fun! I have a 2007 Shelby GT 500 for the FORD rep. |
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
I agree 100% and I am very lucky to be able to build my dream collection, most of the cars are restored, but a few are in the process, hoping to get them done in time to bring them to the Nickey show in November.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Good luck with that! Just taking care of one Black car can be a major chore in hourly dust wiping and chasing water spots! I can't even imagine the enthusiasm to maintain a fleet of slick black beauties like you have. Congrats on the addition!

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Nothing looks better than a spotless black vehicle. Nothing harder than keeping them that way. And you have a stable of them. Hats off to you. Would love to see a pic of all those machines together. Awesome!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Have you any idea where the black 69' came from? I ordered a black w/gold stripes (white interior) while in Vietnam -- picked it up at an Olds dealer in Green Bay, Wi. Sold the car in Clovis, NM

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
I don't think I've ever seen a Black Cougar Eliminator before but it sounds very cool.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
That CJ Mustang is just uber-cool!

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Beautiful cars. Mascar? Why does that sound so familiar? Weren't multiple cars on Overhaulin done there?
|
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Yes, OH did some cars there, and the owner (I believe) is a member on here as well.
|
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Would love to see some pics of the Cougars as well. The old cats were cool. I once had a bright green 428SCJ Eliminator cat.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
The collection can't be complete without some Chevys? A nice black LS6, black Copo, black '69 RS Z28, black '67 Vette.....

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
Black was not an RPO for the Cougar Eliminator due to the Black Graphics. Both of Scott's are special paint builds and backed with original build sheets and Kevin Marti reports. Interesting as well as they were both California DSO orders.
|
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
This thing is a beast. Was there any black 67's? I was only in the 7th grade when I saw my first 67 442. It was dark blue and I think it had red fender liners IIRC.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
The '67 W-30s would have had the Red inner fender wells. That was the first year they were used with only 504 total factory W-30s produced. No convertibles.
I have seen a Black with Red interior '67. This is the only Black '69 4 speed with bullet proof "Canadian" docs I have ever seen. I'm certain that there may be more out there, but the ones I've seen in the past had no docs. 1970 W-31 production was only 1,352 of all body styles, no convertibles. 1969 W-30 production total was 1,389 with 121 convertibles. These are rare cars, considering how many didn't survive and that the vast existing majority have no docs. |
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
There was a burger restaurant in Atlanta called Zesto's across from where I lived as a kid that was run by a Greek family and there was always some year 442 sitting in the parking lot. I assume it was the owners son that had the 67 I saw. He was always cranking on it when he was in the area. Always seem to be a big fan of the 67's but never see any of them anywhere.

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
----There is a black/black post W-30 thats for sale here in southeast MI. Or at least it was for sale a little while back. Nice enough car but had several owner mods (headers etc.)......Bill S

Kevin did contribute to an old ongoing thread where the special paint Boss cars are being discussed on the Boss forum. It has been determined that Scott's Cougar Elim is the only known and documented G code Black car to receive a Boss 302 motor.Scott may share some info from his discussion with Kevin recently. |

as is the AMX. </div></div> It's a Trans Am edition Javelin actually, not an AMX. 1 of only 100 built |
Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
SportyWorty1 is correct on the Black Boss Eliminator, its the only recocnized Black Boss 302 anything FOMOCO made. We are going to be working with Ford once the restoration is complete to see if FOMOCO would like to use it in some advertising..............we will see. Will post some pictures soon : )OH and yes the 1970 Trans Am Javelin is 1-100 and fully documeted and amzing, i love that car!

Re: Back in Black Collection Complete : )
