It is a 'sweet GSX'

Good looking car!

Looks like the stripes are matte?

[Paul Massicotte]

Saw you driving through the center of Northampton on a Friday night at the end of August. Actually heard you first and then told everyone I was with....I just saw a GSX.

Of course, all my non car friends didn't seem to understand the rarity of seeing a yellow and black 70 with a spoiler rolling through town.

Thanks, it doe's look sweet.

Ya the side stripes are gloss but the hood stripes are kind of a semi matte. It works good that way, no glare, but still looks good.

Ya I must have been coming back from Buttery Brook Cruise Night over in South Hadley, the wife wanted a "Steves" Ice cream so I took a swing through Nton. Had a good group of folks checking the car out in front of Steve's on that side street.

You are right as far as the sound, folks do hear me coming, it sounds reallllllllllllllll good .


.

Do you have a green Skylark ??? If so I saw you the other day coming down 66 heading into Nton.

sweet ride...

Great looking car David

Thanks

I'm proud of it.

I took "Best Of Show" my 1st criuse night with it this year (Florence Elk's).

It allways has a big crowd of folks around it at the cruise nights and I'm getting a lot of thumb's up from folks when I'm driving down the road.

I guess I have been late on updating this...

The Shows have been good to me so far...

I won Cool Rides On Line.net http://forums.coolridesonline.net/
September Ride Of The Month and than came in 5th in The Ride Of The Year Contest
(which was won & 2nd Place under controversy, they have since changed how it is voted on)...

I have won many Local Best Of Shows and have been Featured in many "Car Of The Day/Week/Month" Showcases...

I was chosen in a Crusin New England (with Paul Mennett) Qualifier Event to be one of three cars featured at the North Adams, Ma Motorama on August 24, 2014... If I win that event I will go onto the Super Wheels Showdown (SWS) on October 4, 2014 at City Hall plaza in Boston, Ma...

I would love to move onto the SWS so PLEASE if you are around the Western, Ma area on August 4th, PLEASE go to the North Adams Motorama and vote for Matilda and I to win...

The Motorama is going to be a fun day, bring your Buick or your HotRod with you to have a great day...

My Biggest Event so far has been the Goodguys Show that is held at the Big E on Fathers Day Weekend (June 13-15,2014)...
https://www.good-guys.com/aanws-2014

I didn't go on Friday (most folks didn't because of the rain), but I made it on Saturday & Sunday... On Saturday they have different car judging events... I got there in the morning and found a spot by another Buick and parked there, about the same time a buddy of mine showed up with his Buick and we parked together... I haven't seen many Buicks at this show and low and behold now we have three right by each other ( two more showed up so we had a Buick Show Area ) ... I was enjoying the show and at one point I was bringing stuff back to my car when my buddy said the judges were all over Matilda and that I was chosen as one of the Best Of Show Cars...

I was chosen by BFG Tires as their Best Of Show, they call it "The Best Ride On BFG's"!!! I was amazed that out of some 2000+ cars at this show that I was chosen as one of the Best Of Show cars... I must say that I am very Honored to have been chosen out of all the amazing cars that were there over the weekend...

I went back on Sunday (I was planning on it anyway) and got to park in the "Winners Circle Area" and than to end the weekend you do a "Parade Lap" to the stage with your vehicle were they talk about your car and award you your Trophy... That was a blast to do!!!


Well from here it's onto the Motorama ( again PLEASE come and Vote For Matilda if your in the area ) and than Hopefully it's onto the Super Wheels Showdown...

I'll keep you updated!!!
