Title: Joe from Jersey - Joe65SkylarkGS
Post by: Joe65SkylarkGS on February 03, 2009, 04:58:17 PM

I'll go.

I live in Jersey, grew up in brooklyn and staten Island. I have 1 son who's almost 19 and in college in VA.

I'm happily divorced since 93 and am currently living with my girl. We met in H.S. and dated briefly back then. I lived solo all those years until 4 months ago.

I am a teamster in the greater NY area. I drive a dumper and work on various sites all over the city.

My first car was a 62 dodge dart with push button trans. Never made it on the road. I had it parked on my front lawn and one morning I woke to a totally smashed car. Some drunk i guess.

I grew up in a 65 4 dr lark that my nana had. 300 2 barrel. She was a buick Gal from way back. Thats why I love the 65's sooo much. I have 3 currently and a 64 with a 3 on the tree.

I got a GN back in 92 or so with a blown engine and got it cheap.(2K) It is a stolen recovery car from NY. The guy I got it from bought it new and followed it through the NY system to get it back. He was a cop. I still have that one too. 59000 on the clock and still original bad GM paint and original Exhaust too!!

My current resto is a 65 GS 4 Speed with nothing but pwr steering. Thats the way I like em, bare!

My 65 Lark I have, I did a frame on resto. All new sheet metal underneath, and it's done. 464 T400, 355's.

There is one mystery surrounding my GS, there ain't no rear view mirror on the driver door. Only on the fender?

So thats my story and i'm sticking to it!!

Chris, did you edit my original post for some reason? Thanks Joe.

Hi Joe,

Actually I just broke up the Bio's from you, John, Mister T into their own areas that way it's easier for someone to find out more about you guys.

Originally you guys posted under my Bio and I left everthing you wrote intact and just moved it o a individual section.

Although this didn't cause any harm, it was pointed out to me by another user so I fixed it.

Chris
