I guess if we're posting random pics of H-bodies, why not one with 6 in it-

I took the pic in June 1986 shortly after I bought the house; not sure what the neighbors thought when I started bringing home all the H-bodies I had stashed at work and at relative's houses. In the pic are a brown 75 4cyl auto wagon, a yellow 77 GT 305/4-spd, a gray 75 262/auto Monza, a 76 GT 262/5-speed, a 80 Sunbird V6/auto and barely visible in front of it a 77 Monza 305/auto.

Retro Monza ... maybe .... something I did a while back. Thought it was a good place to resurrect.

Carlo, "all" you need is a new Camaro a torch and a couple of gallons of brush able Urethane and you could build that resurrected version of a "Truly Unique "classic Chevy. the head lights resemble a Colorado with a minor tweak, Mould a front facia with that urethane, cut those emblems out of "stickers" (like the sign makers use) and then embed them. Now we need to see the rear depiction! Harry Happy New Year

Vert-a-pac racks. They did it so the could pack 30 vegas in the car, instead of 18. Usually, in 1971, it cost $300 to ship the car. With a $2000 car, $300 is about 1/6 the value. With a vert-a pac car shipping was 300x(18/30) or $180

Absolutely! Sounds just like my Chevelle did - 326 & .532 I bet that shop smelled awesome after pulling it in. Glad this old stuff has been saved. 8)

That is a nice collection of Richard's, a shot with the lights on would be nice! Edit- oops, they r on.

Here's a good candidate for a "Random H-Body picture"-
Darrell is a Forum member but not a regular.
And before anyone asks, No, it's not photoshopped, and Yes, there was damage upon it's return to earth.
