Photo Bomb: Muscle Cars and Muscle Cars Only From The Cavalcade Of Customs In Cincinnati


Photo Bomb: Muscle Cars and Muscle Cars Only From The Cavalcade Of Customs In Cincinnati

(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) – For a change of pace this time I decided to break up the muscle car pictures from this event into color groups instead of by manufacturer.  I will tell you straight up we didn’t see any AMC, only a few Buick, and just a few more Oldsmobiles.  Not sure what is up with that, but we saw plenty of Mopars, GMs, and Fords to bring here for you.  I hadn’t seen a Pontiac Espirit Firebird ‘Sky bird’ since those things were new and the one in here was a pretty nice example.

I’m not aboard the ‘swap an LS into everything’ boat like so many are, but when it’s done correctly in the right car I have to admit it.  I don’t like plastic engine covers, but the way the LS is packaged in the GMPP Monte Carlo SS looks like it came that way.  The car has looks and I’m sure the performance to back it up.  Also check out the original-owner 1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet.  Anytime you can view one that went home from the dealer and never left is a great experience.  Might even make you weigh selling one of your rides to get something ‘different’.  There just aren’t that many people that keep cars for 30-years +.

The blown, green Mustang is regularly-driven, makes big steam, and is a super-looking ride.  I’m hoping to shoot a feature on this and the owner’s daily-driven 50s F-100.
