Likin' that wagon.:yesnod:

Yeah, gorgeous and rare. Kind of classy color combo too.

I don't remember ever seeing one of these, at least one not closed up in cognito.

It looks like it has a gas powered reel lawnmower in there.

That clamshell rear-end is interesting.

Yup, 1950.

This year's The Race of Gentlemen on the New Jersey Beach.

Elmer's Hot T-- 108 mph in 1923.

How was it on steering and stopping?

Steering? At that speed turning is inadvisable.
Stopping? Eventually they all stop.
:lol:

Plugs for a Model T, with so many on the road hundreds of companies made parts for them. My uncle was a model T buff and had dozens of aftermarket locking steering wheels hanging from the rafters.

That's kind of a cool collectable and they don't take up a bay in the garage.

If you clean the smell off you might even be able to sneak them into her house.;)

A customized Honda that looks cool but still a stock engine. At least it has a driveshaft instead the chain drive earlier examples of this model had. :rolleyes:

That is awesome

What is it, about a foot long?

That thing needs four-wheel-drive.

And a big-block.

The roots of Rat Rods was poor folks, often teens, built a car from pieces they scrounged.
Usually it started with a motor that would run and go from there so they had minimum pieces and light weight.
Later they became projects for clubs or a group of friends to chip in pieces and put one together, those often becoming a race only car.
They looked like shit but beat walking and better for getting laid than a skateboard.

Now Rat Rods is an established style and I don’t understand the attraction. :headshake
At the SEMA show going on in Vegas this week there are scores of guys who took a $30,000 engine, dropped it in a custom built high tech chassis, then added the ugliest body they could drag home, with a $10,000 interior.
I guess for some people it’s better to be laughed at than ignored.

Cultural appropriation...





That Matchbox-looking thing with the 58 Chevy-looking fins/pcs...The wheels don't look round.

That was a '59 El Camino, sorta, partly. :haha:
I probably squashed the wheels a bit shrinking the picture.

Ah.

Stupid is as stupid buys.

I guess to fill the gas tank, you have to remove the handlebars and the seat and take the "fender" off.

With 79cc and that size gas tank, refilling might be needed annually.

This looks interesting, the concept truck was cool but whether that translates to the production truck remains to be seen. Be nice if it was 4 wheel drive because it's small size could get between trees and shit but it's unibody so maybe not.

Saw that Hyundai recently in one of the car magazines.

I thought it was kinda cool.

Yeah, I know the production truck won't be the same but I hope they come as close as practical.

Or you could get an Elva...

Oh wait, we're talking trucks...

Attachment 69041

As long as it ain't my money, they can waste theirs as they see fit.

I guess.:neutral:

Guess I've lost touch.
Thought 0-62 and 124 MPH for the Elva were typos.
100 and 200 KPH.
186 MPH now becoming common.

I'm sure Elva is capable of much more speed, those were just acceleration times.

Found more on that Rat Rod El Camino....

Attachment 69068

I want that engine in my truck.

Could you afford to feed it? I'll bet the fuel gage goes down as fast as the speedometer goes up. :haha:

It would be fun while it lasted.

That was fun.

right.

one burnout and straight to the gas station.

one more burnout, straight home.

This is a highly unusual '32 Chevy, the entire intake system was handcrafted in Aluminum.

I didn't think people used 6 bangers anymore.

If you want to build something different and eye catching for an exposed engine car, an inline six is a viable option. The price is you can't buy cool shiny bits for it in most cases.
I had a guy with a stick six Camaro that came into the speed shop about once a month asking if I'd seen anything for his engine. He got headers from Clifford Research and a cam from somewhere but no shiny bits.

I had a '65 Ford F-100 with a 240/6 with Clifford headers, and intake manifold with a Holly 450 Economaster carb. It was quick, and would burn rubber in all 3 gears.

I knew a guy that had an inline 6 w/a 4 bbl and a three on the tree in an early 70s Nova. That thing was gangbusters till ya hit third.

I've got a '96 Geo Prizm with the 1.6 liter 4-banger, and when you have 4 adults in that thing, you can really tell.

:)

'66 Tempest Sprint, overhead cam 6, 4 bbl carb, free flowing exhaust, 3 on the floor, posi rear, GTO wheels.
Ordered it in January but told them I wouldn't take it until April first. It came in quickly and sat in the showroom until April.
I just couldn't justify trading in the pos Mustang until I had it a year on April 1st.

Cark Swift was a winner, over and over and over...

Mecum sold this beautiful truck at their farm equipment auction in Iowa.
I'll put the rest in Machines.

$100k+...

Must be a V-8.

That is a beautiful truck.

Yes, V-8 emblem on the grille. I think all Model Bs were V-8s.


It's a shame my Dad isn't around he offered to fix my wagon frequently.

Bought it new and still driving it...

Remember this truck, called Thor24, that Bruce posted a little while back?

Attachment 69159

It sold at auction, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

For $12,000,000.

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

Money doesn't bring class or brains, and sometimes I think they're mutually exclusive. :facepalm:

Mustang, you've come a long way baby...

I prefer my 1970 fastback.

That's understandable, My '65 was a piece of shit but by '69 they got it together pretty much.

DIY monster truck...

While you wait for the hay to rot be chauffeured...

Those thin seatbacks remind me of school buses.

DIY monster truck is great.

that picture with the caster wheels mounted to the car's wheel hub,.....


if that's a drive wheel.... will the car go? or is it an





.....wait for it....




airplane on a treadmill scenario?

Oh no he di'int...




To drive correctly, the front wheel/suspension has to have the correct caster and camber...

...that's way too much caster.

Well if you lock one caster...

Seen a few of these now...

Apologies if this is a repost:

That's one nice Suburban.

They call it a Chevy!?
