Holy KRAP!

I know adults who can't/won't drive a motorhome over 24 feet! Forget towing anything..... LOL

Yeah, it was a fun thing to drive..we had to carefully pick the gas stations to pull into...a few times, had to disconnect the car to make turns. Pull in, fill up 3 gas tanks with about 200 gallons of regular, then back on the freeway, getting about 5-6 mpg.

You ain't so bad yerself Sixty8panther!

:AH-HA_wink:

[CMG]

BTW- one of my all time favorite pics on this site EVER.....

Now THIS is the kind of pic I call PERSONALITY.

[Sixty8panther]

Thank you sir.

I always say, and I'm 100% certain about this:

The '59 Buick dash is THE nicest of ANY post-WWII car.

There's a few Caillacs & Chryslers/Imperials that come

close but as far as production cars go the B-59 is it IMO.

I miss driving the B59, I need to git my ass in gear &

get the motor back together... I was just thinking this

AM at like 4:15, as I loaded package 75 out of 1050

that I should set a realistic goal to get the B-59 back

on the road.... right now the pie in the sky date is

Halloween but there's a god chance I'll be out there

in my driveway Christmas day, still turning wrenches.

[Intrepidation]

BTW- one of my all time favorite pics on this site EVER.....

Now THIS is the kind of pic I call PERSONALITY.

Yep, that Buick's IP is beautiful. I have a photo of it I took for one of my Photography classes:

CMG, you have a pretty insane collection of vehicles, that most normal thing you guys have is that Magnum!

[Sixty8panther]

Hahahah... yeah that's right... you took like a hundred photos that day.

I even parked the car in the "horse-port" at the 4H.

[CMG]

Here's one of mine that was FAST, it looked nice, but it was a purpose built pounder, one ride inside and it was obvious that it wasn't a Lexus.... LOL

[CMG]

My wife's daily driver for years, 440, 2x4bbl with 4.10s..... 295s on the back, it would cook sideways at 30mph roll ons...

[CMG]

My wife drove this one for a few years too....

[CMG]

I built this for the street dargs many moons ago, it was just about to be tubbed- the 440 was all built and the car was no longer a 4 door.... LOL and somebody STOLE the body!

Where it is I have no idea, but if it ever shows up it's gotta be the only shortened Plymouth Viscount on the planet- it was a 1959 Dodge front end with a 1959 Plymouth rear end....

[CMG]

And before I go to bed I better post up another I would call bland for sure, my work truck for years and years....

[Intrepidation]

Dude, you have had some pretty insane rides.

[CMG]

Dude, you have had some pretty insane rides.

LOL

I got alot weirder ones, trust me. hahaha

Here's the Wife's car. NOT mine.....

[CMG]

Here's one of my most embarrassing cars.... I was driving this in 1979.... it had alot of engine work and 2 1/4" exhaust right out the rear.... A ricer before there were very many ricers....

[CMG]

Another daily driver for years and years, I sold it to a buddy who ran 11.63 @ 118 mph.

With 2.76 gears and 29" tall tires. The car barely got into 3rd gear....

[Sixty8panther]

So I hereby move to make CMG the official

"MOPAR-GRAND-WIZZARD-ULTRA" of the

Tight Whips car club... CMG, seriously, you

caught me on a bad day and I assumed that

you, like most of the people on here, drive

something that YOU consider exciting but

would blend in at the local Wal*Mart parking

lot on Senior Citizen Discount day...

I now feel I must apologize, for with the

vehicles you have owned/built, even if we

divide & multiply by the square root of that

Mitsu-Mopar Colt "By Dodge" you have an

amazing vehicular portfolio.

Kowing what I know now, you can call my

Mercedes "bland" anyday!

You are , for sure, one of the ELITE of the

C&G crowd; my Canada is off to you, sir!

[Sixty8panther]

P.S. if you ever find that (now sold?) '59 Ply-odge I will

trade you straight up for my 500SEC.

[Intrepidation]

The Canada line was great by the way.

Thanks Sixty8Panther, but I shoulda used a different word than "bland".

I got some real weirdo ride pics too... I'll have to dig some out. Alot of my stuff isn't mainstream, and some of my stuff that I have LOVED my friends have hated... LOL

[CMG]

P.S. if you ever find that (now sold?) '59 Ply-odge

It was STOLEN!

I thought about doing another one, but I have too much on my plate already!

[Sixty8panther]

What kind of a dirty scumbag steals THAT!?

If I ever WAS dumb enough to steal (cars)

I would not steal something that you could

never in a million years, with any amount of

bulls#iting pass off as NOT stolen.

Seriously what was his game plan, to tell the

cops that it was "another Dodge-Plymouth"

splice job & they're confused?

"no, really... it's factory, really!"

I hope that @$#% person gets ebola, to steal an

insured yuppie-whip like a Bimmer or Lexus is

one thing, but you do not, EVER even think about

leaning up on the 1/4 panel of a Hot Rodder's

custom/chopped car, stealing it is just a whole

'nother level of wrong!

Stealing this kind of custom should be punishable

by beheading.

This is awesome-here in central Ohio, we have a guy named Farmer who has one of these that's an original factory Hemi car.

IIRC he nostalgia drag races it fairly regularly.

How are you gonna trade your wife's car?

[CMG]

Here, somebody tell me we liked normal cars when we were younger..... LOL

[Sixty8panther]

I drive it 40% of the time.... and the title is in my name,

plus recently she's been on a BMW 5-series wagon kick.

...not that i was dead serious.

what in god's name is that mercury-mopar enclosed-towncar-panel-hatch thing?

Hahaha

My friends were MAD when I was trying to buy it, so I never did!

A guy I know paid $8500 for the car and then when many years passed he wanted to sell it minus the engine and transmission.

It's an old Chrysler 4 door sedan that was shortened, the front end was dropped and slant sectioned, and the roof was moved rearward over the trunk area.

It had a chopped wrap around bumper with eight rectangular headlights!

LOL

I wanted to wear "pimp" clothing and go street racing in it, my buddies actually got MAD at me! LOL

Trippy.... I saw a lot of strange 'Keys Cruisers' when I lived in the Florida Keys---like a mid '70s Mercury Grand Marquis 4dr convertible, a '72 Ford Torino flatbed convertible wagon, a '76 Granada 4dr convertible with the door frames still attached (a buddy in high school drove this), a '76 Trans Am 4x4 convertible, but never anything like that...

Dear lord. That's both horrific (by 2008 standards) and funny as

$hit, (by "back in the day those were just used cars" standards)

Yea...that was in the '80s.... didn't see anything that fit the old 'Keys Cruiser' standards when I was down there last month. Because of the salt air and humidity, cars rusted as bad in the Keys as they did in the Rust Belt.

Edited August 25, 2008 by moltar

[Sixty8panther]

no doubt.... salt (sea) air is brutal.

My buddy's (co-worker's) car that he brought up from

Florida... (1994-ish Buick Century) had such bad rot

in the A-pillars that there were holes in them, and yet

the paint was flawless and the car was otherwise in

great shape, not even high milage, it was parked next

to the beach all its life.

One of the reasons I passed on a somewhat "cheap"

& very tempting '71 Monte Carlo that lived up at

Hampton Beach all of its life, it was a tripple-black SS,

as in 4-to-da-5-to-da-4! The owner advertised it as

minimal rust... the only thing that was "minimal"

about the rust was the amount of metal that was NOT

rusted through on the undercarriage & suspension...

frame was decent but scaby.

[BrewSwillis]

[Sixty8panther]

LOL... that's C&G for ya.

Soooo back to the Challenger, let's talk some more about

how its better than anything Toyota has produced in their

72 years in the Automotive business.... I guess it ALMOST

ties with the '67 2000GT, but that car like most Japanese

cars gets an F-minus for originality.

[CMG]

LOL... that's C&G for ya.

Soooo back to the Challenger,

Let's get back to your new sig!!!!!!!

I had a 1960 Imperial, I'm gonna have to dig out pictures! I found it in 1994, the car had sat since 1967. It was a loaded car with RADIO DELETE! It was bought to chauffer people around the lower mainland in 1959, and the company (Imperial bank) didn't want the driver to turn on the radio. Strange, but true!

OK, NOW get back to the Challenger.....

LOL

Sorry, didn't mean to break up your little love fest.

I'm guessing this '67 2000GT thing had no B pillar or something?? If you have to dig back to 1967 to find originally in a Toyota, then I guess you would be right.

[Sixty8panther]

The Toyopet 2000GT was a Japanime rippoff of

the Jag E-type & other Euro-GTs. B-pillar aside

it was a very cool, but unoriginal car.

The Camry of Austin Martin DB5s.
