Features true Daily driver Pics ONLY !!!!!!

What a SMALL WORLD.... I owned your Chevy II in the late 90's!

That was the coolest car I ever owned!

When I owned it, it was Sunkist orange with weld drag star wheels, but it was the same car, and it still had the powerhouse 6 cyl with the gluide! It was my daily driver for about a year or so....

I sold it because I had just met my wife she owned a house on a gravel road, the car sat too low to get to her house... So I bought a truck and had to sell the car! then she sold her house a month later and moved to town!!!! I still married her... but DAMN I MISS THAT CAR!

last I knew the car was up around Chicago area?

I know I would like to have it back!!!!

Oh well.... just thought I would add my two cents worth.

 

My hero! That's what it's all about!

 

wow this is still going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets see more !!!!!!!

 

I've driven it to austin a few times, all over locally, and to the bonneville saltflats in 08. what a hardcore drive. this thing is crude. and runs 12's at hamb drags.

 

loved that nova.....even when it was orange whatever became of it...?

that was the first time i had heard of stepping a frames and flipping spindles

 

guess i should have read the whole thread...

 

Here is my daily driver...kind of OT as it's a '79.
Runs a slant six, three on the tree.....a nice old truck.

Work? That's a dirty word!

Daily, I drive one or the other to the store, to haul trash, to do what I do;

 

Heres mine Its a 1957 Peugeot 403.



Shes gona come off the road soon for a resto plus a few custom touches perhaps

Hayden

 

heres mine

 

wow .. anymore ??

 

Everyday for the last 5 years, 120k+ miles. However it did go under the knife and some friends and I are finishing the body work to get her back on the road along with a new heart transplant.

 

i drive this daily...it gets better miles than my 02 Ram gas wise.

 

Everyday, rain or shine. 351 Cleveland backed by a C6. Stock steering, drums all around. Nice heater is all I get.

 

Here I am rockin like a huricane!

 

I'm currently under doctor's orders not to drive, so claiming to have a daily isn't really honest. When I was (and hopefully not too many months from now again) healthy I maintain this as a daily capable driver.



It runs a basically stock GMC 270 with the granny gear 4-speed, but has front disk and the 3.08 rear from a Chevelle. It can cope just fine with 70 mph freeway traffic and for a year at a time I have actually used it as my daily driver.

But I tend to change dailys when I get something new I like and most recently I've been driving an 80's Corvette. Not HAMB friendly but a lot of fun to drive.

I'm also a bit of a fair weather driver. The wipers/defrost in the Suburban aren't great and the 'vette is low and easily swamped by rain so on many rainy NW days I cheat and drive a 4-wheel drive pickup with good wipers and defrost and tall enough I can see where I'm going.

Last time I drove my Suburban it was into the shop to mouthball it till I get well enough to drive again. Since its much easier to climb in and out of than the 'vette I suspect it will be my primary driver at that time.

 

On the way to work this morning in the rain...

...

 

Mine, 283 2bbl, th350.

 

my daily , my only, cars were made to be driven!

 

I really like this thread. Here in TN, I am basically the only one who drives an antique car every day.. (there's one other fellow with a 56 chevy that drives it very frequently, if not every day).
It's encouraging to know I'm not the only one who believes real cars are worth it and amenities are actually a bad thing.

 

Mine.

RIP ED

 

not mine, but my dads.

 

I love your truck. It is my computer background. Nice work man.

 

I got this 65 F100 near the end of July this summer. I've put on about 6000 miles on it in 4 months. Currently it is all stock with the 240 six and three speed manual. So far I've had to replace a brake line and some light bulbs. The only bummer about driving it is that the gas mileage is really bad (16 mpg). My old 77 F100 got 23 mpg.

 

Just got new glass and seals to keep the rain out!

 

I was 20 miles to work in a 64 el camino 350 4spd, but it's crunched, so it is 81 el camino 283 built t-400

 

It's the only running vehicle I've got... Been my daily driver since I bought it. Been through alot of repairs since then too. It's constantly evolving. One of these days I'll rebuild the motor in my "new" vehicle ('83 F250) and I can take the '56 F100 off the road for a couple weeks for it's major makeover. For now, I'm racking up the miles...

 

My 52 has been my only car again for the past several months... drive it every day rain or shine...no wipers or heat

 

Here is my daily driver.1951 merc with a 302 ford till i sold it ..now this 55 ford will be my daily driver..

 

Really?

My daily below, before this I drove a '40 Ford pickup, before that it was a '53 F100, before that a '51 Chevy pickup, etc. etc.
