Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I don't take a lot of pictures. But I find many other pictures interesting. What have you?

This is interesting to me. The Dwarves were a punk rock band in the 80's?? I don't know. :confused:

The interesting thing to me is the little girl on the album cover. That happens to be my wife. That photo was taken for a religious pamphlet. The photographer had the rights and sold it and she ended up on an album cover. She didn't even know. :lol:

And she doesn't have a tattoo on her arm. That was added. And she's quite a bit older now. Younger than me...But that aint saying much.

I remember when the dinosaurs showed up thinking WTF are those things? :lol:

Wow that's crazy.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Interesting story, Paul! One of many from you. Still waiting for your memoirs to be published. The uncut version. :D

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I'd write my memoirs but the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet. I'm keeping quiet for now.

The funny thing about that album is that we were at a record store that sold used albums. (Rhino Records) and she just stumbled on it while going through old records.

She looked me, pointed at it and said. "That's me, I remember taking that picture'. Sure enough, it was her. :crazy:

My wife was a child model and then modeled for years. So it's not surprising that old photo's pop up. She was in the business a long time.

I made fun of her because the album was in the bargain bin and came close to getting punched in the nose. :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I have random pictures saved that I didn't take. Like this mayo. It's odd that McCormick, an age old spice company from Baltimore, would offer this mayo and as far as I know no others. Just mayo targeted for the Hispanic market with lime in it. I guess it's Scots-Mex food. Makes me wonder if they don't have a whole line of foods only sold in Central America.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I've had that Mayonesa before. It tasted the same as regular mayo. At least to me.

Here's one from before my time.

Hugh Hefner. 1960

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Me no idea who took it. Funny my first real car was a 57 Chevy. Not a cool one like this though, mine was junky. No idea what year this was, born in 59.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Would that be a Cox gas-powered car? Uh oh, I happen to have some childhood pictures myself. But right now I want to share this wagon I just found on this local buy/sell FB group I just joined
$12,000 low mile big block a/c '66 Fury III Wagon for sale locally.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Oh man that's a cool wagon!!!

If I was in Maryland and had 12K in my pocket and you had 12K in your pocket and we were both running to get it I'd trip you. :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: A lot of "ifs" :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Yeah about 12,000 "if's' for me to have in my pocket.

But that's not a bad price for that car if it's as clean as it looks. Wagons are hot right now and that's a cool one.

Gettin grease under those nails at a young age. ;)

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I like that picture a lot.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

[quote=GOPAPA;9114801]I bet it's owned by a CAT mechanic. The building looks to be painted with CAT yellow paint.

There's actually a house here in PDX that was actually painted with expired CAT equipment paint by a guy who worked at the local CAT dealer. It used to even have a Catapillar sign on the garage.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

What does expired CAT paint smell like? :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

pig

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I hope it's better than cat piss. WHOA!! :eek:

I met this girl and she had a cat. I never saw it. She asked if I could tell if she had a cat?

I said no. I know lot's people whose apartments smell like ammonia and turds.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Wow that is cool. They look like they went whole hog on the custom food truck thing.

Very nice! The way the road turns makes it look like you're about to drive into a tunnel of color.

That'll buff out.

Bender!! (refer to post #25)

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

This would be so much fun .

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Back in '70-'71 there was a guy who cruised Van Nuys Blvd with an orange Gremlin. Factory 390 with a 4 speed. Nobody would race him more than once.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Ugly chicks can be a lot of fun.

The Gremlin makes the list of the most butt ugly cars. Only topped by it's ugly siblings, the Matador, and the Pacer.

For comparison. Why would you want one of these dogs when you could have one of those hot AMC's? :lol: :haha:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...hevelle_SS.jpg

I don't know what they were smoking at AMC but it must have been some good stuff. What happened to them? They made the AMX for gods sake. One of the coolest cars around. Then cancelled it for that junk? :confused:

I think that they whacked off one too many times and went blind. :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

My high school buddy's older brother had one, can't remember if it was a
4 speed though.
In 1974 he drove it to Twin Falls Idaho to watch Kinevil crash and burn on his attempt to jump the Snake River.
That dirt ramp was still there a couple of years ago, but houses were creeping to it, so I don't if it's still there or not.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

LAMC never put anything bigger than a 304 in the Gremlin . They did put the 390 in the SC/Rambler and the 360 Hornet SC . The 304 and the 401 both shared the same dimensions so people did the transplants themselves.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

All the car companies were on crack in the mid 70s .

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I was told that was the setup. Maybe it was a 401? My crowd was Chevys, Pontiacs and Fords, with the odd Buick thrown in.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

My neighbor I had in the 80's had a Gremlin that came from the factory with a big Ford engine, it was something over 400 and all original.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Well... there ya go, 304 it was then.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Gremlins came stock with nerds riding in them.

Speaking of ugly...

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/data/500/Yugo1.jpg

I think Yugo's got a bad rap. I had a friend that had one and she had 3 kids and packed them in a Yugo. She drove the wheels of that thing and she couldn't kill it. Her husband was such a cheapskate that he bought her the cheapest car he could. I disliked him. She finally divorced him.

Who buys their wife a Yugo? I'll tell you who. A guy with a girlfriend on the side. That's who.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I never thought the Gremlin was so ugly. I think they were ahead of their time. I always kind of liked them. They were AMC's answer for the shrink the car crowd buying European brands, same as Vega and Pinto (4cyl-only). They weren't trying to be sexy for that market. More like a bold new idea which VW and others followed into and the '80s. The Gremlin X was like the mini-AMX in my eyes. It wasn't trying to look like one but the proportions are similar. I have to agree the Matador and Pacer were some ugly designs. But the Gremlin has crisp sharp lines that go together. They just left the butt-end off

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

You are joking right? AMC never used a Ford engine. They did however buy 4 cyl engines from BMW late 70s. I was buying up as many as I could find ripped out the motor and sold them at twice what I paid for the car .

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Vega's were waaay better looking than Gremlins or Pintos. They just had crappy motors. Nothing that a small block couldn't cure.

I knew a guy in high school that had one. It was bronze with Centerlines and a small block. I still dream of that car.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I had a '72 Vega wagon with a 305SBC and a 350 trans. That thing was quick. My sister had a Monza with a 305. It was quick, too.
