    Another new project just arrived.
    A cool 1968 3/4 ton 2wd Suburban. Currently powered by the original 292 Straight 6 and 4 speed.
    Originally from California, and overall pretty solid, but still needs some rust repair.
    Rumor is David Freiburger from Hot Rod magazine and Roadkill on Youtube owned this truck a couple years ago.

    FastWithClass — Yeah, that’s my daughters 550 IQ Shift. She moved from her Indy Lite 340 to the 550 this year.

    You are right, worst year I’ve seen in a long time, but the deals are definitely out there now.
    I just picked up a new Polaris 800 Switchback with the AXYS chassis, deal was too good to pass up!

    Currently:
    2016 Polaris 800 Switchback
    2011 Polaris IQ 550 Shift
    2011 Ski Doo 800 Etec
    2010 Ski Doo 600 Etec
    2005 Ski Doo Rev 600HO (For sale)
    and a couple of Vintage sleds that need restoration

    Hoping to get a few miles on the new one yet this year, it currently has 9 miles on it….. :angry:

    Jonmandude– Well said. I really was getting tired Steve Davis also, and it definitely felt like he was insulting the bidders.
    The cars certainly seemed to bring a lot less then in the past.
    Still looking forward to watching some (not all) of the next auction.

    Sticking with the original Flathead, but it was worn out and needed to be freshed. It is going to get a 4″ Merc crank, Edelbrock Heads and intake, 2 carbs, etc…..
    The only change I am going to make to the driveline will be a 5 speed conversion so we can drive it more on a daily basis.

    I built this truck for my wife Amy in remembrance of her Dad that passed away 2 years ago. He was in the process of purchasing an old truck to drive around town. I got this done in time for the Symco Shakedown show. Now its time to freshen up the Flathead and swap in a 5 speed for better daily driving. Just thought I would share a few pictures. Zapper

    Great Topic!

    My guess is:
    Daytona $100,000 (It’s a stretch, but it has a cool story)
    Hemi Cuda $3,000,000
    Boss Mustang $350,000

    Thank you to everyone that has allowed us to work on their cars as we get things rolling!
    We are off to a good start, and truly appreciate your support and business!
    We have wrapped up a couple projects which has allowed us some time to put the lowering kit in one of our shop trucks. We’ve been wanting to get this project done for a while, but have been busy :)
    I know the holidays are here, but we have winter rates going going and would welcome the opportunity to help you out with your project, big or small! I have an enclosed car hauler to keep your vehicle out of the elements!
    Call or email if I can help out!
    Thank you again, and Thank you Wiscollectorcar.com

    On Monday afternoon someone called me about renting my enclosed trailer. If you can, give me a call back so I can clarify your needs. I would like to see if I can help you out. When I called the number back it was a Am Fam number and the person that answered was not sure who called.
    Look forward to talking with you again!

    Had the ’67 Impala out for a drive today, wanted to enjoy great weather one more time
    Also had a friend stop by the shop yesterday in his ’74 Gremlin. it runs a 304 backed by a 5-speed.
    Great looking car, and you don’t see Gremlin’s everyday!

    Just had DC Equipment from Sun Prairie install a new 4 post lift.
    Dave is a great guy and does a great job.
    Hopefully more lifts to come as business grows B)

    Hey GTO Man,
    Thanks, we are off to a good start. We are very happy to be as busy as we are for just getting started.
    Yes, we will definitely pick up and deliver customer cars anywhere. The trailer has been getting good use lately :)
    If there is anything we can do for you, please let me know.

    Thanks again!
