Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
You know, Cragars on a lawn mower would be pretty cool. I'd do it.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Did somebody say Cragars? I bought this set in about 1976.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
What about these? They were a last gasp for the "is it a pickup crowd".

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
I have a friend that has an SSR with a 6.0 and six speed. I can't find an option for a six speed, so I'm wondering why his has one.
My wife got on a kick for a while to buy one, but it blew over.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
You're a lucky man. When my wife get's on a "Kick" It's over. Something's coming home. I can't throw stones. Because I do the same thing.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
My buddy got a black SSR recently. Kind of funny for him because he's pretty cheap and not into sporty things or going fast. He's an old truck, Model T, and Model A (stock) guy. He's been happy running his Astro Van all these years and now he rolls the snazzy whatchamacallit. I rode in it a couple weeks ago and commented it was awfully plain. He's me friend who does lettering, pinstripe, murals, etc. He said "Not for long". He'll do some sort of wildness on it I'm sure... usually over the top for my taste.
Boy, when I was married and my wife mentioned she was 'thinking' about buying something it meant it will be here tomorrow when you get home.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
I've always had a soft spot for those 66 Super Sport's. Back in the day when I was a meter reader there was one parked at a house on my regular route. Just sitting. It never moved. I tried to get someones attention at the place for a couple of years. I even left a note on it. Never anything. I'm not sure if anyone lived there or not. There was never any activity. It was pale yellow like the one in the pic. And it was a stick. I sure wanted it. But I got nowhere.
I dated a girl and she had one of these. I thought it was butt ugly. But she loved that thing. And she was hot. Hey we all have to do what we have to do. So, I would ride in it. (As he covers his face in shame)

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Man. That yellow SS brings back memories. Back in 66 two brothers around the corner got new SS396 Chevelles in high school. One was that yellow and the other was blue. They ran the crap out of those cars. Of course. I sure loved those cars. I once found a real nice 67 SS for sale. 1 owner. It was green with vinyl top, wheel covers and automatic, belonged to one of the high school teachers. I actually took it for a drive but it just wasn't what I wanted so I passed. Looking back, well, you know.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
So I always wanted to know about those Ramparts. Were they actually a part to a ramp? They sure look like it
Just a very ordinary conversion I thought was factory

I know only too well. When I was about 17. I was looking for a car. My mother of all people told me her friend had a nice car for sale. A 71 Chevelle. It was one owner and cleaner than Kleenex. But it was a 350 and had a vinyl top. I wanted a big block and didn't like the vinyl top. I thought it looked a little too grandma. So I passed on it. STUPID !!! That car was spotless and her friend wasn't asking too much for it. I was a dumb kid.

Those bathtub cars look like a bowl with wheels. That black one makes me think of Moe Howard's hair cut.

Looks like some kind of beetle
Remember those jokes, "What do you get when a Falcon and a Bronco collide?" Actually, it was Mustang, but...

BTW, I'm a big fan of that color! But the vinyl top makes it an old lady car Yeah, I had decided I didn't like vinyl tops when I was a kid. I guess any woman with a drivers license was an old lady to me. As time went by I realized what a cool addition the vinyl was. You could get the fancy and the performance. Only in America!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
It's a lorry! It has no boot!
That one is made for chauffeurs' personal use. Kinda hard to drive anything else after driving a rolls all day, but the last thing you want is anyone sitting behind you when you aren't getting paid. I'm serious. I really like this one

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
I don't know what's going on there. It does look like Jeep stuff, earlier than the Ranchero. I think it's Australian. It's not the same grille as our Falcons. The black one had a caption that said it was a '72.
