lets see what you drive

My 65 F100. I was hauling in a load of scrap with it when I snapped this picture. I have nothing else that is insured. Not too good on gas. I want to get one of my other old clunkers going so I can save a little on gas. I've put about 6000 miles on it since July.



That is my 500 dollar Dodge. Probably not going to happen this winter but I want to turn it into a daily.



I am working on welding this thing up so I can drive it this winter. It has the thrifty 161 flathead six in it. I used to drive it a bit but the clutch is super weak and there isn't much left of the body. The PO was going to cut it up for patch panels.

Put a few back road miles on this pig last year. It is a 51 GMC. I rigged up a gravity feed fuel system. Never had brakes. I learned to clutch brake pretty good with it. It was a pretty reliable truck but it could be a pain to start if I forgot to turn off the fuel tank after shutting it off.

 

too cool dude

 

1958 Biscayne, 1960 Apache shop truck, 1923 T Bucket

 

I have old car ADD, so this thing really saved my ass to keep me focused. Its a convertable, its a truck, its a wagon, its 4x4 for the winter too. Sips on gas 22+mpg. Chicks dig it too. A little slow on the highway but i cruise with traffic (slow lane up hills ). Not exactly a hot rod, but its fun. 152ci slant 4, 3 speed granny trans, 4.27:1 front and rear posi.

 

This one brings back a lot of memories. I can still remember going to Reedman in Langhorne Pa. in 1968 when I was a little kid with my folks to buy a Newport just like yours brand new. My Dads was black with a 2 tone white & turquois interior. I still remember trying to talk him into getting a new Corvette instead and him explaining later that we couldn't fit the whole family in a Corvette.

 

Looks like your passenger side air bag went off too!!

 

This has been my daily, I have been working on a free VW Jetta for the winter, but until that is going this is going to stay my daily driver.
62 Chrysler Newport 361 V8

 

If its not raining.......

 

This is my 65' F100. Just picked her up last week.

 

The only car I own,

 

thanks! I'm pretty damn fond of it too.

 

I see you've been out in the back yard again. Naughty, naughty.

 

Jacked up the body 2 years ago and rolled a newer frame under it. Work the dogsnot out of it and need some convenience! Discs and P/S... 20K miles in 2 years, gets 10mpg in town, 12-13 on the highway with a re-ringed smog350 and 4:11 gears. I ain't bitchin' since it's been paid off since before I was born!
