Not on the road but my uncle bought this 70 malibu cloned as a super sport.  It's been in the garage for probably 15 years so it needs some going over before its ready to drive.

Went to an antique boat and car show with my dad and a friend today.  Saw these two.  The mail Jeep just looks scary, and yet kinda cool.  The carb setup on the Ford is actually just air intakes.  It’s fuel injected.  Very cleanly built car.?

A Renault Duster.  I couldn't see where the license plate was from. but I would suspect somewhere in Mexico or possibly Canada.

Spotted this homemade aero Toyota pickup on I-40 passing by Williams (last town on Route 66 that was bypassed by the Superslab).  Couldn't wake up the phone fast enough to get the front, which has a Studebaker "jet intake", and the hood slopes up to the lower third of the windshield.

Sorry, no pics but I saw a Ford F150 diesel that sounded like it had a huge supercharger under it.
It was lifted and otherwise stock-looking except the huge tires and wheels.
The only place I've heard a blower whine like that was at the track on a gasoline engine.
What beautiful sound!

Had a buddy that I commuted to work with many moons ago that had a similar "Flintstone Emergency Brake" portal in the passenger footwell of his Toyota pickup, covered with 1/4 inch plywood.  Only his was a naturally occurring-rust.  I made him pay me for the gas and we used my car for the most part.

I suspect this little truck is pretty well ventilated - in addition to the floor gaps, it doesn’t have any windows whatsoever

 I still wanna drive it when I get a chance tho…

Bet you’d need earplugs if you did!

Love it. Now if only Revell could be persuaded to tool up a new body for their Westfalia van!

My neighbor had his '60 Corvette out. if you look close you'll see a Pontiac Tri-Power emblem in the cove, he put tri power on this car years ago. The VW was in the Walmart parking lot.

that looks like a japanese import, the bumper and fenders are for sure as the euro and us versions had fog lights instead of air vents. it might shock you how much those bumpers cost now
