Had one of those too. '66 Chevy II. Traded a truck for it then drove it to a buddies in Pittsburgh that night. Next day tore it all apart and never finished it. That buddy had a Ford EXP with a 509 BBC that ran 9's on street tires and through the mufflers. I used to hang out with a few guys that ran the Hot Rod fastest street car in America tour back in the early 90's (Kenny Anderson in his powder blue 79 Malibu that ran 7's). I bought an Alston tube chassis for the car then it went as part of the trade deal for my '57. Don't think I have any pics of the Chevy II though.
Here is the '57>

A few more...

Spot, the '69 white sportsroof

Jade- the green '69 'vert. 351W/2bbl/FMX, a nice ride.

And a project 2dr formal top, needs paint and interior, 351W/4bbl/FMX, runs perfect.

I think I will stop now...

Maybe not

Daily drivers

My 2000 Silverado right after paint and right before a compressor crushed the pass side of bed when it fell over....285K miles.

My 2020 Silverado 4x4 with about 12 mods that I have made to it. Best part is no payment.

Wifeys 2019 Trail Boss with most of the same mods.

This one is mine.

But this one sits above it shedding fluids from time to time

Of all the daily drivers I've owned to this point in my life I've never been more pleased than I am with this truck. Assuming the fenders don't rust out like my last GMC Sierra I just might keep this one to 200,000 miles...

OllieC · Nov 5, 2021

I don't have any pics but I had one of these - gold like this one and the same wheels....72' Poor mans Porsche. Loved that car.

Now, that's a pretty cool trick that you can get that truck to float like that!

Hah, no doubt! Nothing quite like our fixed docks being under water to make for a good photo in the parking lot

WTH? You let that ol' coot write on your dash board?

Ha ha, yep.

You already saw the others in the username thread, so here's a couple more.
2016 3500 w/Cummins 6.7, a beast of a tow rig:

1973 Buick Riviera GS 455 Stage 1. 'World's Longest Hood (it seemed like):

2001 Mustang GT:

2018 Mustang 2.3L turbo (Ecoboost). That is one crazy car to drive! The thing acts like a big block for torque, but is almost neutral-balanced due to the light engine up front. And, 27mpg to work and back. There's quite a bit of history to the gray car. If you're so inclined, you can read about it here: Here it is next to a work-mates red convertible:

This is what it looked like last January:

If you're interested - https://www.mustangecoboost.net/threads/nater-potaters-build-thread.18815/page-2#post-248335
Finally, my avatar and pride-and-joy, the 1974 Norton Commando 850!

Same bike, brand-new, just before my dad took her home. That's me at 14 years of age in my stylin' jean-jacket:

Again, if you're really bored, you can read its history here.

I have had several also, most when I was still using a flip phone. But there is very impressive cars posted here. No doubt I have always loved old hot rods.
1969 AMX 343 GO PACK
1959 CHEVY APACHE
1969 MGB GT
The Sonic Blue is a 2012 model 11k mileage, the Sebring Orange is a 19 with 3500 miles.
Just got the 19 model, I am just to old fashion,
Love those long front hoods.

Knew a boy and his dad that had a 69 TORINO
back in the day. The boy was a couple years older than me. It was one bad looking hot rod,
Smoke up whole street burning rubber. Always wanted one like it, u know ass end jacked a little for rubber, ladder bars, etc.

Spot's a badass ride, even though it's a bit ratty on the outside, I put a new interior in around '04 and just drive the hell out of it...couple "laying drag" warnings back then..

Any connection to the Super Cub?

Espos4 · Nov 5, 2021

I’ve had this for just over 15 years.
1969 Dart 340 Swinger
“Charger Red” is the color
727, 8 3/4 with 4.10’s
I’ll dig out some pictures of the ‘71 road runner and ‘72 Satellite when I get a chance.
