Default Going... Going...

Gone.

The big shiny transport truck just drove off with my SS. It'll be headed up to Milwaukee first (accompanied by a sweet '58 Corvette) and then to New York somewhere for another pickup before heading south to it's new owner in Daytona Beach, FL. The owner of Conrad Yelvington Distributors is now the proud owner of an awesome Camaro SS. Keep your eyes open for my car down there y'all Florida folks!

Time to reflect on the past and plan the future. I have a lot of great new friends because of that car. I plan to keep them all and welcome the new ones to come. Now where'd I leave that wrench?... I have a '63 Grand Sport to build...

Have I been fired?!

Sad to know that the Silver SS will no longer grace my driveway, but let's see what the future brings.

Bye Bye Silver . . . .

03 Hummer
02 600S silver 4dr
03 600s Blk 2dr.
