:devil:

I feel like we've seen that one before. Not that picture, but that truck.

Edit: Similar to post 163.

The truck is similar, the truck in post 163 has twin turbochargers the total go fast machine. But like most rat rods they do best at smoky burn-outs.
Like this: http://www.redaceequipped.com/2012/1...-fireball.html, stuff like that gives me a hard on.

That is from the same magazine that the truck in post 451 was in.

Nice.

This is pretty cool.



Probably meant the world to those guys.

1960 ad for a Brit motorbike. What is 56 gns?

guineas

guineas? I thought they used pounds sterling.

Guineas? What kind? Hens? Pigs? Pygmies? New Guineas? What???

I thought guineas came in a pint glass? How many glasses does it take for 56 of them?

A guinea is one pound and one shilling.

And that's why we can't have nice things, and the metric system had to be invented.

Aha, so when the customer pays a guinea, the boss gets a pound and the minions split a shilling. Someday when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed, I'll find out how that system worked...

I don't see that happening soon. :confused:

I talked to Uncle Asshole the other day. He's bought a new toy. He'll buy an old beat up car/truck, for next to nothing, work on it for a year and then someone will drive by and see it, and buy it for a ton of money.

This one's a 67 GeeTeeOh, with a pretty sweet vintage set of Chevrolet Rally rims.

12 years in a barn. Shoved and bounced the car around to mix up the gas that was in the tank all that time, a shot of ether in the carb. He said it turned over about ten times and fired up. He let it run a few seconds then killed it so no more of that ugly gas than necessary went into the carb. 400 Pontiac, vintage Holley double-pumper, headers. He said it sounded a little lumpy, like it may have a big(ger) cam.

He won't have any trouble flipping that. If it was a Chevelle he'd have to make it presentable for max profit, but goat lovers are gluttons for punishment. :haha:

These came on my '66.
