A dark brown body and silver top Suburban Hello, A nice transportation for a surf exploration along the So Cal coast line. Cool looking, cool interior with A/C is presumed and plenty of space for campgrounds. Or, a nice cushion sleeping area in the vast cave of the back flat area. With comfort like that, even two old seniors on a weekly road trip to the ocean shoreline would fit nicely if an overnight was necessary or desired. If a surfboard were to take the trip with us, the small 6’ 8 inch modern speed rocket would fit nicely in the back or on a special interior rack. This would be a welcome relief from the road clogging sprinter vans, now reaching popularity along the coastal areas. At least it does not look as if it would get blown over in a nice cross wind. YRMV Jnaki The problem of this build is that as nice as it is for the custom look and comfort, it may be too large to fit in our small two car garage. Unless of course, the tall front cabinets were modified and an air suspension was installed to lower the overall height to clear the door opening. Yikes!
^ That '67 looks great in Marina Blue. 4 speed, gauges, including blinker tach, dual mirrors, and antenna on the quarter panel would be an AM radio from the factory.
Gotta like a 3 pedal car with an early hemi, dual quads, chrome wheels with spider centers, and a white firewall!
Congratulations. There's nothing that can compare to it. I've got two new grandchildren imminent. One due in 3 days, one due in 3 weeks. That will up the tally to four.
Wow I know that you’re excited about that!! His sister is my sidekick in the garage and loves old cars and hot rods. Anytime I take one out she is up for a cruise and insists that I come get her if she isn’t with me. This is her a couple years ago wanting me to take her for a ride….
Wish it was in my garage. 1966 Chevy II SS L79. All but eliminated in 67 because it could beat their new Camaro. It did however have 67 disc brake wheels.
Ultimate car to piss you off. Plymouth with a Toyota turbo 2JZ. Didn’t talk to the owner but I’m guessing 900 to 1100 hp…..could go up near 2000 for racing!
Got the joy of resembling this one, after a year of my boss trying to match the apparently very rare color.
Hello, I was at our local tire shop for a new set of tires for my wife’s station wagon. Next to the outdoor seat was one of the widest tires I had seen since back in the late 60s on a custom motorcycle trike. A size 12 sandal vs Goodyear Eagle wide tire. The custom built trike had tires they had purchased from a Formula One team and they were wide. Consequently, the body was hand sculpted to cover the wide tires and looked like a wave coming over the top. The driver or rider sat under the lip and way back grabbing onto the extended handlebars. I believe the photos are in Custom Chopper or Choppers magazine, as a b/w feature article. Those photos are now long gone and the magazines are also history. But, those were the widest tires that were shown on a custom motorcycle build. Jnaki Those were the widest tires I had seen on a vehicle. But, few weeks later, after looking at this orange Camaro, those tires are the widest tires for a street driven vehicle. Compare the 12 inch+ wide license plate versus the wide tire under the Camaro. The width is about the same or slightly wider. YRMV Super wide tires with deep dish wheels
'67 Chevelle, looked to be a real SS. The grille is the giveaway on these. It seemed to be an older restoration.
It was an interesting week at work... On Monday, these were on a transport headed back to Houston from Monterey car week. They were unloaded to get the McLaren out, which was being dropped off for a local customer. For the record, that made a total of 2 F-40 "sliders" on site at once. Then Wednesday these were dropped off for storage. This '67 CST is one of the nicest factory restored C10s I've ever seen. And I'm not much into VW's but this '63 ragtop is also very, very nice.
How's about a twin rotor mini mite.... Owner sez it'll spin 14,000 rpms.... https://youtube.com/shorts/JCLWnalufnY?si=S6nDZ1DmekWs_Bxw
Not today but last Friday in Israel. Killer car with a hevily modified 3.0 motor, you could hear him from a mile away. Kinda like an RSR without the arches. Not perfect but then he does not have to worry about Tel Aviv traffic or parking.
Saw both of these in Zurich , Switzerland. Over the past week ! '75-76 Catalina ,'67 Eldorado . The Pontiac had Pennsylvania plates and Switzerland plates and the L was for Learners, not Lucky. I wouldn't want to feed either of them cuz gas was 1.70 Francs per litre so that's like 8 bucks a gallon? Both pretty nice though
