I had a 1962 Olds F85 with the aluminum 215 V8. Not the turbo jetfire though. I sold it about 6 months ago.

Are these really CRAGERS?

Anyone know if these are really cragers or not? I'm looking at maybe buying them and was wondering if all cragers are marked somewhere or not. If they are cragers, anyone know what they are called? Thanks

The state of PA did not give your car an inspection sticker, the crooked mechanic did.

Re: Finally on it's way!

I remember a 72 chevelle that i saw at specialty sales in pleasanton CA in 1990 that was a completely original green on green car with only 14000 miles. Looks like that green to me.
