Danno Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There are still quite a few of the old XJs around in Colorado, at least that's how I remember it..they were very popular there and had a long run... There are quite a few of them still on the road here, too, but you're not likely to see them in Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. Although an attorney friend of mine has one for a daily driver, set up Baja style. A lot of them are running around in very good condition, but "dolled up" in Baja prerunner form, jacked up with sand tires, extra lights, and roof luggage rack-mounted baskets, spare wheels/tires, and highjacker jacks. Still very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmartin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Friday as I was leaving work I saw this in the parking lot. It belongs to one of the design engineers in the automation group. He enjoys the retro technology. It does have tubular hydraulic shocks on it. It's a very nice driver and not a concours car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I saw this sitting on Route 100 on my way home from the Super September Showdown yesterday. Since I had my camera from being at the show, I decided to stop and take a closer look. The car is in nice shape, and overall well done. It needed a headliner, and the seat work isn't to my taste. But overall a cool car. Notice that it is for sale, although no price was posted. I'm trying not to call the guy! The car in the background is a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible that had a price of $18,900 on it because it had 6,000 original miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ed Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What did I see on the road today? WATER! Now don't you wish it was a Dry Rain ?! Hope you didn't get any of the Flooding in your House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That's way too funny, Ed. A Dry Rain! Yeah, we're good. No excess groundwater inside Casa Baker so far! Our adjacent open land is about 2-3 feet under water, though. More coming tonight . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Walking around the parking lot at work a week or so ago, I saw a rusty-around-the-edges '68 Coupe DeVille (owner unknown), co-worker Ted's '46 Desoto, and I.T. guy Jeff's pro-street F100.

The70judgeman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 On the way home from Wally World I saw a yellow '69 Dodge Coronet R/T. I couldn't manage to catch up to it to see what engine it had due to "Sunday drivers" ahead of me. You know the type...H.U.A. drivers sight-seeing, lane deviating, and way under the speed limit when they should be looking in front of them.

The70judgeman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 @Harry- MOPAR's of that vintage have the engine displacement on the car somewhere...front fender, hood scoops, etc.... That's how. And yes, before you say it, I know you can lie about what you have under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
