The worlds rustiest 71-72 El Camino, the front clip is missing, but still has the hood, the roof is smashed in, and it had a vinyl top that turned the roof into Rusty Swiss cheese, this thing is buried in the woods, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to dig out, Just give the info to this guy. His next project is a rolled and slightly burned 69 roadrunner, so the Elcamino is right up his alley. Great guy, and funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSchnell Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've owned every body style of '56 Fords with the exception of a convertible. Seeing these '56's made my day, the convertible is a rare solid Mandarin Orange car. The '57 Chev. convert was parked at a local body shop.

stitchdup Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 An unfortunate brand placement on a van. The van is a long wheelbase mercedes sprinter. The brand is The Ace Horse. It has a sliding door on both sides and one side is fine, the other would probably earn me a ban, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres look fatter than standard. This Alpine (not Tiger) sounded great This one is from 1965, but with their late '50s US styling these BMC Farinas looked somewhat dated by the early '70s when the final versions were eventually discontinued. I suppose the same can be said of the Humber above, which was replaced in 1967 or so. Always liked Sunbeam Alpines. Would take one over an MGB every time. That Sceptre is a rare bird. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'll start off with an actual on-the-road shot, at a stop light. Seen before at cruise nights, license plate is THJURY. At the Pavilions cruise night in Snotsdale, which is every week. Front plate says SURVIVOR. It's probably more rare than most of the cars present. Ford Crown Vic, had a racing seat, and enough mods to qualify for something. Two of 3 McLarens, I don't follow the latest supercars anymore, can't keep track of them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Lime 765LT ftw. 💖🤑 Grey Mac is a 570 with body kit on it. Aventador, nice Olds 98 HT, and an obscure late AMX Spirit in background. Fun Kurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another view of the 570, I wouldn't think having the exhaust in the wing airstream would be a good idea. This is more my speed, a patina '69 Chevy C-10 with a turbo V8. Looks like no heater, but it's Phoenix, and they could draw heat from the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we've got one in town now, in the same colour. Although Maserati is a favourite of mine, as you say it's not readily recognisable.

Looks like the owner hoisted a wing and slid a BRZ under it. Seen yesterday in our local Costco parking lot. The driver looked to be 19 yrs old. Don't know if you can tell but those fender flares are attached with self tapping sheet metal screws with neoprene washers. 😮 It looks like the arches were put on with industrial 'Pop Rivets'.

keyser Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) @89AKurt Ok. Rear pic of exhaust makes it an 600LT. Wing is not stock nor valence. Not a 620R item. 765LT is stupendously fast. I thought 720 is insane. Edited April 27, 2022 by keyser Vid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Around here, this is a very rare truck. I ordered this for a client back in December, and it's heading out today for equipment top be installed. We haven't had a regular cab truck arrive in literally 9 months. And I checked into our inventory history. We haven't had a regular cab truck available in our inventory in almost 5 years. Did a dealer search just now out of curiosity. In all of Canada, there are currently only 5 new Ford Super Duty pickups with a regular cab. Crazy. Regular cabs used to be everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I’ve never seen one on dealer lot in 10y. Rare on street in TX, usually dragging 4 horse box or more. Rare work truck seen. Nice truck. Lightning come in single cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the higher (Lariat & Platinum) trim levels, that will remain the only configuration. In the more basic Pro and XLT trim levels though, it wouldn't surprise me to see the 6.5ft box or maybe the Supercab added to the available specs. I'd welcome that addition for sure. And really, although crew/short configuration isn't a "real" truck, it makes up something like 80% of F150 sales. So sticking with that configuration makes total sense from a business point of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Regular cabs are definitely a rarity down here in the US also...my ex-brother-in-law's brother owns a construction company, saw him recently with his new 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500HD regular cab long bed work truck. Might be the first regular cab of the current gen Silverado I've seen in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Local dealers just seem to order Crew Cabs for inventory anymore. Hard to sell what you don't stock, and most customer don't realize that the standard cab is even built anymore. Since the dealers aren't selling standard cabs, the factory is going to stop building them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Wagon Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I really wish I could’ve gotten a picture of what I saw on my way home. Metallic gray Chevy II, pro street. Huge front splitter and the rear tires looked like a couple of 50 gallon drums turned on their sides. Couple of old dudes inside it smiling ear to ear, shoot I would be too!
