A Horse With No Name

Cool! I wondered how that worked. Thanks, balthazar! Chris

Believe it or not it was a ....Toyota! Shelby American raced two GT 2000 toyota sports cars (the same Toyota Sports car used in the old Bond movie) in C production with Scooter Patrick and Davy Jordan as drivers. Raced in the 1968 season only, and the Drivers ended up third and fourth in the points. Toyotas first Factory backed effort in the US racing scene, BTW... Chris

Agreed. This is a crime. Chris

Actually according to a few sources I read, they started building Civillian trucks in 1944. War ended in 1945. Wonder if farmers needed them during the war effort or something? I would love to know the story behind this... Chris

When did cvillian truck production restart in the 1940's for Chevrolet? Chris

Shelby American, back in the 1960's, once raced a Japanese car for a season in SCCA racing. Name the car, the SCCA class, and the carmaker. Chris

Don't have any pics...but here are the details. It's a 98 or 99 Z24 Convertible, Black with a tan top and tan interior. Yes I know it's ten years newer than what you want but... Female owned, owned by the wife of a police officer I know. (our company offices are across from the police station, and I talk to this guy once in awhile before work. Autotrajic, 52,000 original miles...don't think it's even ever been drivin in the rain. Weekend good weather fun toy only, one owner. Haven't seen the car...but I've seen the other car they are selling a 97 Mustang GT convertible and the Mustang is flawless. I've seen national award winning Mustangs and the Mustang the guy is selling is really "THAT" nice. The Cavi is supposedly even nicer... They want $5200 or so and they don't want to negotiate at all. If you want to come down and see the car, I can set up a meeting and your welcome to crash on my couch. Chris

Oh, and I went to the old Junkyard on blaine highway to see what they had left, someone said that they cleared out a bunch of old cars...and they had. But I got deeper into the yard this time... 56 Olds 4 door post, looked like it was a factory pink and white car, not a faded red either from what I could tell. Did olds ever offer Pink in the 50's? 69 Buick Riviera 69 Pontiac Custom S (yes, for real, if I go back I'm going to take pics) 66 Tempest, red..two door... 65 Galaxie 500 Convertible, light blue 68 Impala Convertible 63 Impala two door hardtop What looked to be a 68 Chevelle, too badly destroyed to tell. 65 Coronet A bunch of old GMC and Chevy trucks Was going back for a better look at the Olds...when a very large buck with a very large rack decided that I was invading "his" space and that I needed to leave. Wish I'd had a gun and a deer tag...and that it was deer season... Also...58 Chevrolet two door Plan on posting pics from the other yard soon, a friend of mine is trying to get them up and posted...I have about a hundred or so... Chris

My vote is Camaro! Chris

Think that's a problem we all have, Camino! Chris

Cletus-Was that Caddy headed North-I either saw it or it's twin sister today...and it was riding on the same spot on a car carrier. Think it might have been the same car. It was heading East on I-70 just East of Brice Road when I saw it. I was heading back into Columbus to get some parts and pieces to fix something....and when I was running back out east with my parts...a blue 60 Cadillac 4 door hardtop passed me...also on top of a car carrier. Wonder if someone out east is building a nice little Cadillac collection? If anyone out east see's either car at a car show...snap a few pics and share them, please! And I agree Cletus, 68 and 69 were better years. The Six Pack car with the lift off hood at the Nazarene Church car show was a 69 IIRC. Chris

Roger...thanks for the pics of the Vista Wagons. When I was in the 7th grade my Music teacher had a Vista wagon like the white one as a family car. He ended up running that thing in a demo derby when he was done with it! Chris

Moltar/Cubical...IIRC isn't the 65 Fury the pace car of the Indy 500 that year...and isn't the pace car white on blue like that? When I student taught about a million years ago (actually 1988) one of my students had a 65 Sport Fury like that. I saw a white 58 Fury on a car carrier today...looked to be in just awesome shape...white W-gold...IIRC that was the only way you could get a fury that year. Chris

Religion of any type

The car looks great... Chris

I used to be religious...Bible thumping bitches love it just as much as whores...trust me... And you thought an LS1 would scream when you got into it... Chris

A dozen nine inch cocks from other guys doesn't make her a whore...really.... Chris

Sweet...things may work out well after all. yellow Jacket...if you fix the 'bird, I've done some electrical work for a few body guys and I have a few favors owed to me. I also know a guy who can weld...actually 4 or 5...that I would trust with my life... Chris

One night Stand

Custard

Agreed, DF. I almost wonder if Chryco will come out of this better than GM. Chris

Mondo...

70 Super Bee is a beautiful car...used to have a 69 Green Super Bee locally that was just the cat's ass...unmolested and original and nice. My daughters church has a car show every year in July, and a 440 Six Pack Superbee showed up two years ago (the one with the lift off hood.) Chris

Camino-Deleted my post because I thought I had offended you, glad I haven't... Just sad to see these old cars go...back to happier times. Balthazar-There were about thirty Pontiacs from the 1960's vintage between my home and the corner market we used to go to when I was a kid. Only notable car was a maroon 1966 GTO convetible...first time I ever saw a tri power...was about like seeing the girl next door nekkid for the first time...I just KNEW I liked what I saw. Maybe that's why I have five kids...perhaps if I'd have gotten a Pontiac earlier, I wouldn't have such a large family, eh? Seriously...this thread has done me a lot of good. I had about given up on owning another old American Car. But then the other night, after I didn't get the B-17 ride my wife wife and I were talking. She said "make a bucket list" (Things to do before you die, after the movie by that name) She put riding in a B-17 on my list, and asked me what kind of cars I wanted to own. I've decided that it comes down to... I want to own a 53-56 Ford Truck or a 49-55, or 61-66 Chevy truck, as a mild street rod or cruiser. If the guy building that Impala can fix THAT...I can pull it together enough to save an old truck. And if I get a car, I am going to utterly shoot for the moon and get my fav. GM car ever, a 58-62 Corvette. Hey, If he can dream and have a 61 Impala, I can dream and have a 61 Corvette, right? Thanks again Camino for posting this thread...and please don't ban me if the truck I wind up with in a few years is a 55 F100! Something about an old truck.... Chris

1960 Chrysler letter car...white...hardtop...really nice... 1970 Chevrolet truck, damn near perfect, original, with a camper shell... Chris
