Garage Art

At a big show/swap meet today, there was a guy selling vintage parts that had been airbrushed/painted with custom artwork, and I saw this:



It's a true, original '65 GT front fender, as far as I can see, which makes it that much cooler. He was asking $200 and I got it for $130, which seems like a deal to me!

My wife and I are closing on our first house October 1 and it's got a 3-car garage. It's not big enough to have a man cave, so the garage is going to be that for me This will definitely be a centerpiece in the garage!

That is cool! Below is photo of me and my oldest son almost 32 years ago, with my 1965 2+2 in the background. Wish I still had it. Your fender took me back in time and also makes me feel a little old. Thanks Kyle.

That's definitely a piece of art. That price is very fair as well. Nice purchase!

Great pic! Wish I had a same-era pic of my Dad with his '69 Cutlass!. He had three buddies that started teaching the same time as him,and between the four of them, they had a Camaro, Mustang, Cutlass and a GTO. But they never though to take a pic together. Would have been so cool with their cars and their 70's lampchops!

Nice catch, Kyle! That is going to look great hanging on your garage wall. Pretty nice birthday present-- to yourself?

BTW, those fuzzy cheeks so prominent in the era of double-knits and discos were called "muttonchops", not lambchops... close, though.
