My very first car was a '51 Ford Custom with a flat head V8 and I know where it is.  I was rear-ended and it was totaled.  :-\

We had a 1979 mg midget.  But the only pic I have of it is out of focus...enjoyed driving it.  Can't get many car seats in one.  ::) Banjo

390 ?

I think it was a 296......would that be right? It was not a 390.
My dad still has Grandma and grandpa's '68 Galaxie 500, 429 in that one, hasn't ran in years but it was the only car he ever got a speeding ticket in  :D.  They clocked him from a plane to boot, only ticket I think he's ever gotten.

Mine spent more time beside the road than on it. Between SU carburetors and those DanG Lucas electrical systems... >:( :D

Those old cars are cool, but it's hard to go past the reliability of a Toyota these days. Sure they where easy enough to fix, but you generally got good practice at doing it.  :D

When a kid a 4 door muscle car was not cool. Five or so years ago we bought a 69 buick skylark with 4 doors. The kids loved it and the 4 doors where really nice. It was a really cool car in Marcia and my eyes. Funny how time changes things. Thanks for posting all the cool rides!

My BIL and I bought a '68 2 door and built a stock car out of it, didn't get the big block version but that little 350 would scream (certain adjustments were made  ;)).  Unfortunately we didn't have the brains to set up the suspension right and learned very quick that GM parts are GM parts and Buick parts are Buick parts  :-\.

Among the many different oldies I've had over the years I've had a couple Buick Ragtops. One thing that I always liked was the Power Slide transmissions.
Wild Bill has this 51 International Metro Van I gave him for a birthday years ago. It runs and drives, needs a master cyl so he uses it as a solar Kiln for all the wood Danny and Jake gave him.



  

  

 

Figured you'd get a chuckle out of this one I saw the other day

If the world were lit by Lucas, it would be dark.  :D

No classic cars for me. First vehicle was a 1985 Dodge W350 short bed four door four wheel drive. I was a few years ahead of the curve for four door trucks with that one around here. Now, if we're talking hot rods, I have a '99 Dodge Cummins making 500 HP and 1,200 ft/lbs. ;D Passes everything, including the gas stations. I've made many expensive sports cars look stupid with that truck.

Don't know if you'd call it a classic or not, but, I pulled a 1987 Mazda RX7, out of a field and got it running and on the road real cheap. That was a fun, fun car to drive. Rotary engine, 5 speed. Still kick myself for getting rid of it  :-\

Now, I own a 1976 Ford F250 4x4, 390 V8, 4 speed manual. 1978 nose on it. Divorced transfer case. It's a bit rough around the edges, needs some work, but it's a cool, tough old truck and I love it.





The dog loves the truck as much as I do. Seriously, I can't get into the truck without him jumping in. Loves to ride in it. It's "his truck"

[/quote I love the old Ford trucks from the late 60's and early 70's. I have this vision of getting an old Camper Special 4x4 and putting a Cummins in it. Maybe in my retirement. My second retirement when I actually take time for some projects like that.

I love those 60-70s trucks. at 16 I restored a 67 f250 4x4 with a 352. I would love to find it and get it back. I sold the last cummins truck I built and bought my 1978 f250 4x4 supercab with a 400. its a pretty good truck. it will get a full restore one day also.

Just wondering if others in here have classic cars to keep them busy when not cutting wood. Here's a shot of my 71 International scout II. I'm in the process of building another one to use when I put this one away for the winter. After that I have a 56 I.H. pickup I'm planning to drop on a 73 chevy pu chassis and make a hot rod/rat rod out of.

That's one sweet looking Scout.
Look forward to seeing that pickup.

I've got a '74 CJ5 in need of TLC that my wife used to race. It's on my 'to do' list.

nice looking scout. My uncle has a 56 s120 4x4 that him and my papaw bought off my papaw brother long ago. It has been sitting since at least early to mid 80s. Has a factory pto dump pickup bed and had a snow plow on the front. I know we still have the plow itself but anything else no clue. My uncle and papaw bought it put dual wheels on the back and bolted the bed down. Then put a big pto winch in the bed and built a boom and turned it into a wrecker for the garage they use to run. I dream of one day getting it up and running and driving but it will need alot of work.

I am a hard core old truck guy but no money or shop space to deal with them at the moment. Have my eye on a 59 Travelall 4X4, it has been rode hard and put up wet but appears to be complete. It likely was a logging crew bus. My first was a 64 Chev short box, DanG I wish I had it now.
