Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Dam near makes a guy to want to move the fenceline over Just a "tad"
Thing's that make ya go, Huummm ?

 

Here's something you don't see too often..

 

thank goodness...

 

This is the type of find that poses an interesting question. The true value of this car depends on a lot of varibles such as if its a true big-block car and which version. Does it have the "born-with" drivetrain? etc. obviously, everything will need to be restored or at least reconditioned and what about the frame and birdcage? Sitting as it is I wouldn't be surprised if the frame rails have major rust through and a close inspection would be required to determine the condition of the birdcage. Rust in either is difficult and expensive to repair. Generally, presentable, good running cars can be bought for much less that it would take to put this one in same condition. So what is the real value of this particular 67?

 

Probably a supercharged model too!

about 4 more feet of snow and that rambler would look just right---supply exceeds demand...

 

Funny every time I see a Rambler you come to mind...

 

I think he talks just to hear himself. Black 62, those kinds of comments don't add anything and just show you as bigoted. You don't like them...big whoop...you've gone on ad nauseum about your opinion...keep it to yourself from now on.

What Ester Eddie said - in fact, there is a certain image that comes to mind every time I hear such comments from this poster. And, it's not a H.A.M.B. friendly one.

 

I love it when someone tells me to my face I should get rid of the car I love because THEY are not into it... they just don't get the car hobby as well as others do in my opinion.

I love my Rambler, and my Hudson, and my Acme and my Indiana, I could go get what everyone else says is cool or what everyone else owns but I have little interest in that.


Here are a couple a I found in the last few years.

 

Is this able to be parted out?

 

Steal it...

 

'50 convert, '51 victoria

 

It tastes just like chicken.....................

 

From a private hoard...

I'm trying to buy the whole car... The owner is very reluctant to sell anything, hence the abundance of untouched 50s and 60s Chrysler stuff

^^^^Good luck! If you're successful, then it might convince the owner that divesting that collection is in his, and the car's, best interests and get them into the hands of people who might build them.

 

Last Summer

Shit I got a 60 Rambler{a pink 2dr} for my first car,that damn thing sat in our back yard for 3-4yrs-i must have gave it away 100 times!
Now i look back & think i should have hot rodded it

 

It was all the way up in my neck of the woods at a local scrap yard, it came in, was there for about 5 minutes and then was resold, I saw it a few minutes later and asked about it too.

That 65 Convertible just kills me, I'd love to have one with a 287 or a 327.

 

nashers ---here is where i am coming from on ramblers---i grew up in a family of car dealers mopar, ford , chevy, cadillac, was friends with or interacted all the local dealers kids---the rambler dealer lived three houses down on the other side of the street, they were the only family that belonged to the country club---when we had rock or dirt clod fights there son bobbie was always on the other side ( natural born enemies ) and his sister was mean to my little sister---so as we reached driving age ramblers ( granpas car ) were never able to be kids cars and provided constant sources for jokes even though they were great family cars--- my comments now reflect that personal relationship with the brand and my old neighborhood---but supply has always exceeded demand...

 

Here is one I threw together for a guy last summer out of nothing but old unwanted parts, leftovers and other bits destined for scrap.



46 Canadian Dodge.



Bunch of Chevs at my neighbours place



Incredibly rusty 59 Edsel I picked up for some parts, I stuck a battery in it and everything works!



59 Mercury short box half ton Tow Truck my brother picked up for parts.

Your opinions are fine, and thanks for the insight, and I wish you no disrespect at all, but others here like those cars and did not have a bad experience with them and don't want to hear about it every time one is posted. And if supply exceeded demand for parts then why is it not easy to get parts? Unless you mean supply of photos VS people wanting to see them, but then I still think that's personal you opinion more than anything.

As far as it goes I know most people would rather not restrict what is posted here (other than the normal restrictions) because we are a very varied group with many interests.

 

they went out of business because they could not sell enough cars ---more cars to sell and not enough buyers---supply and demand---yes this is my opinion but it is factual and you are right about the photos...

 

.... after every comment? WTF? ..........Stick to the basic structure of sentence, writing, and punctuation. Traditional writing skills have not fallen out of place here.
