BEFORE AND AFTER! This 1957 GMC, with the help of a modern donor car, was turned into an AWD LSA BEAST!

Got to love custom vans

Got to love custom vans
View attachment 191832

A friend of mine in high school had a Dodge van like that one, only without the custom paint. He got his girlfriend pregnant in it. Oops.

Buddy in high school got his family's old conversion van as a first car. It had been passed down from several of his older brothers.

Running joke about that van was a naked girl alone in it could get pregnant.

Buddy happened to knock up his GF, now wife of 30 years, our senior year.

He claims it happened elsewhere, but I suspect the van did it.

OK not my car but a close representative of my first. I bought when I was 15 with very few miles on it. Local Chevy dealer had twin sons. Bought each son an identical one for high school graduation present. 2 Chevelles then traded in for 2 new Z28s when they come out. I bought one of the Chevelles with money I had saved up.

‘65 Chevelle Malibu SS
HIgh performance 327
4 speed
Tahitian Turquoise
White interior

Spent a BUNCH of $$ on “improving” it.
Ended up with a “rival” ( former boyfriend of my now wife of over 50 years ) pouring a bag of sugar in the crankcase while in her parents driveway late 1 night. I then drove it home and it sat for several days. Got quite a surprise next time I tried to start it.

One of several vehicles I wish I still had…well maybe not my original one but you know what I mean.

I liked the body style of those. I can skip over the '66/67 and move on to the '68-72 next. The other years; not really my cup of beer.

The body on that car is stellar but the wheels do not work.

Is this man (Sugar boy) still alive...???
If so why.

Just curious.

Yes it is NICE ! When looking for pix ran onto the add when it was for sale with something like 66 photos. I looked, I drooled, I reminisced... Had a lot of fun and raised a lot he** in that car

Because a couple/few hours after the sugar was added he was on a bus headed for Chicago and then off to basic training to begin a 2 year stint for Uncle Sam. Cops wouldn't/couldn't do anything...no proof and in Army. In fact rumor was he was at home ( alibi ) and buddies actually did the deed. That was in 1970 , we were married in '71, and I have never seen him since.

I was looking at the wheels and thought the same thing before reading your post. It needs a nice set of Cragers.

Good on you.
I try not to hold grudges but this over a woman and to your car is some chicken is unforgivable. Coward.

When I first started dating DoggyMama, my roomie at the time's best friend tried to accuse her (DoggyMama's) ex hubby of dumping sugar in his HD gas tank. Turned out to be his psycho ex-girlfriend. WTF? Seriously, some bikers and hot rod guys (and their women apparently) are freakin' nuts. Okay, DoggyMama can be freakin' nuts too, but I'm not a biker or a hot rod guy.

What? You don't like the Hot Wheels look?

Crager S/S' would work well. I'd even like steelies with dog dishes if I was short on coin.

Ex-girlfriend was "dating" a guy that had a car loke that. I dumped a bag of sugar in the crankcase one night.
