i just got a gbx (canadian company no longer in bidness) 2-channel reverb bug amp.  solid state, 12" celestion speaker, hi and lo controls, as well as contour.

it is a motherfucker.  i never thought i'd get a solid state, but this baby rocks.  the reverb is awesome, too.  i can't put it past one in the house or the house will fall down.  it is about three feet high.  i'm pretty sure it's from the early 80s b/c the font is that old "computer" font - y'all older folks know the font i mean.  it used to signify "high-tech", and now it just looks retro.  the clean channel is pretty good, but i really like the effects channel - it's really dirty and distorted.

and it's my first amp that's my own. :)

Sadly I won't be buying anything for a LONG time...just had to drop another $2000-2500 for some bodywork on my 1969 Firebird...she should look sharp tho in a few weeks!  I hope to do Power Tour '09 this year...it's a HUGE car cruise sponsored by Hot Rod magazine...one of the biggest cruises in the country if not the biggest

'68 Awesome car. '67 was my fav. I used to own a '70 Formula 350. The previous owner forget to mention that he had used the car at drag races. You could see under the rear wheel wells where the dragster tires had rubbed the inside of the wells.The engine was actualy a 400 which had been bored and shaved and modified to produce 385 hp. It had a 4-11 ratio posi-traction rear end. Man,it was good in the snow with both rear wheels pushing. I was an idiot in 1988 and sold it to help pay for a baby on the way. I'm rambling, but good to share with a car guy. Huuum? What is the name of that TV show I watch where classic cars are auctioned?

Yeah it's my baby.  I just wish I were a little more mechanically inclined so I could do ALL the work myself.  I probably could, but sometimes I lack the patience because I want to drive the damn thing!  Mine has a 455 bored .030 over, mild aftermarket cam, edelbrock intake and carb, headers, etc...it's a pretty mild 455 really, it probably only makes I dunno 375 HP but also 475 ft-lbs of torque.  Mine also had a 4.11 rear gear when I bought it (the previous owner drag raced it), but he gave us another rear end with more streetable 3.55 rear gears.  I still wish I had an over drive, but with my new radiator it doesn't overheat anymore.  I've been through a lot with this car.  Many hours in the garage with Dad and neighbors and friends.  Lots of frustration but lots of fun too!  Can't wait to get it back in a few weeks!  I'll have to put up some new pics when I get it back.  Good to have other car people on here  8-)
