It would remind me of one of my ex-bosses if they had used a horse...

Reminds me of when guys started wearing their mullets a bit shorter as they got older and a better job. More business, less party

Man, I'd be afraid to drive that over about 25 MPH. It's gotta be pretty squirrely and top heavy.

They were never known for great handling even at full size. At least the 67 that I drove wasn't. It was like a brick on a roller skate.

But it looked cool. And when you're a teenager that's all that matters.

Re: Pic Thread:Sumthin Differnt

I wouldn't want to jam on the brakes to hard. I envision that starting the ball rolling and tumbling into the thing it was stopping for. I had a '66 and I thought it handled just fine. With the torsion bar suspension it stayed pretty flat in the curves. It handled better than any American car I drove, which would be '60s or older (soft). Of course I did put wider wheels and tires on it, 8" tires on front and 10" in rear (bias). I wish a had a 'puter picture to show. It was suimthin' differnt, a Baja bus

Re: Pic Thread:Sumthin Differnt

This Camaro caught my eye rolling into the Safeway parking lot one rainy day. I was relieved to see the out of state plates. I'm pretty sure he went back!

The red top caught my eye, but those wheels. Not spinners, the centers don't rotate. The car moved along and it looked like the wheels weren't turning. Really freaky looking! Just slide on down to the store.

I just threw up in my mouth.

Why would someone do something like that to a nice car. Mommy must not have paid enough attention to them as a child.

It looks like a Chevelle with the deck lid removed, might even be shorter than that?
I had a blue '66 Chevelle for several years in the late 90s-early 00s. Loved that car, except on the hottest days, no a/c.

Oh, a pic to maintain the spirit of the thread.
It's a thermo-forming oven and vacuum press, plus the first form I made for it.
