About tamatt79’s Garage

 

About me and my passion for cars

I can remember way back when i was a itty bitty feller, Dad had a K5 Blazer, it was green with a scene airbrushed on each side (that was big back then) of snowmobiles in a field. Mom had a 75 Hurst/Olds, which i now have. Later on i assissted Dad with restoration of many 63-64 Pontiac Gran Prixs. That was his first car as a teenager. I remember 1 64 in particular that had a 389 with a tri-power. Wow what kind of power that thing had. Several others came and went, that was 1 that i thought someday i would have, but after working on that car for years, he did a frame off on this one, things didnt work out. In high school i had a 67 Impala convertible, and an 80 Camaro Berlinetta. Just the 2 nicest i had, there were many, many others. But i guess as i grew up as the child of a mechanic, i was destined to be a car nut. And i can say i am "Car Crazy" Certifiable too.

The 10th Ann that i have today is the first TA i ever owned, but i have owned 14 since. Loved each 1 for different reason, but sure am glad i still have this 1...
