My kammbacks
« on: June 02, 2012, 01:13:32 AM »
Here are a couple of my kammbacks. One I've had for years and one I just acquired from Strikeagle in
Colorado Springs. Both are being renovated. More to follow.

That's kinda freaky for me, because I used to own a '81 spirit sedan (Kammback type) and I had the same rims and pretty much the same tires (BF Goodrich TA's) on my Spirit.

On mine, the front's were 14" rims, and the back were 15" rims.  I don't remember the actual size of the tires, but they look close.

Very nice Kammbacks!  Can't wait to see them restored.  Any thoughts on any changes/modifications or are you going to keep them stock?

I'm glad you finally showed your face on the forums. I was really looking hard into buying Strikeagles Kammback, but I'm glad it went to someone that's gonna treat it well!

Pretty much stock for the time being other than tires and wheeels.

Thanks. These two kammbacks will be my 2nd and 3rd. I was hooked after the 1st one. I hope to do these two in good taste. Your wagon gets a lot of comments, I'm sure.

Very nice looking Kammbacks.  I looked at a pretty well driven one here in Nebraska a year or so ago.  I wsh I could have been in a place to get it, but it needed serious help to get to where yours are now.

Keep looking...they're still popping up every now and then. I'm still going to need a lot of the usual hard to find parts to get these two going.
