Today I was out back feeding the Squirrels and chipmunk when I heard the sounds of a racecar starting up, up the street. I new immediately who it had to be so I jumped in the car and low and behold there she sat, loud with ground shaking revs. I went to high school with the guy and It's one of two of his Camaro drag strip cars. He also has a very nice '69 AMC AMX with 50 some thousand miles on the odometer. He's ready to sell the camaro in the photos. 500 plus HP. Asking $ 20,000. negotiable. If only it was street ready, what fun that would be.

It could be driven on the street.... I don't think my neighbors would like me very much....??

Looks like a 1960  Huffaker BMC Mk1 Formula Jr.

I’m fairly certain that it’s the one in your second photo. Thanks for that. ?

Went to the beach yesterday, and on the way home saw a Cybertruck for the first time in traffic...Ohio plate 'CYBRTRCK'.   Hilarious looking, like a rolling dumpster from behind.   Also saw a sharp clean black w/ red interior '87-90 Mustang GT convertible rolling top down.  Saw a bright orange C8 Z-06 parked at a restaurant.  At the beach I saw a modded, beat up early 90s Firebird w/ hole in the hood, chrome air cleaner sticking through, big wheels and tires.   Saw a very clean turquoise '64 Ford Galaxie 2dr ht parked outside of a restaurant.

And all I saw was a heard of goats and a few hawks.

On the limestone gravel between the sea and a decent cover band.

saw it from the back and didn't get a real good look at it do to traffic but a late 40's early 50's Studebaker Commander (or Champion i guess.  same body style).  champagne color on chrome wheels that were not flattering to the car at all.

Last one from Gotland Island Sweden this year, 57’s has always been most wanted here.

My Aunt lives across the street from the house this camaro is stored at. (It's not street legal but) She'll be glad when it's sold, she's not found of the ear shattering revs and the occasional burnouts pass her house.. I suggested he do that down here on my end of the block. 1/8 plus mile straightaway with another neighbor who's an older gearhead, strictly Fords. He has a few Really Nice rides, all Black. His wife has a convertible T-Bird '56? and Mustang '56? Black as well. I believe I've seen a lightning sit out a few times also.

On my way to a job Friday morning and passed this on the interstate.

[thatz4u]

saw this in Walmart lot...48 Ford coupe, slammed, flamed, beautiful...

They do exist. No 409, just a humble 6. Not donked, or slammed. No hydraulics, no PS, no PB. Worst of all, 3 on the tree. I love it.

[A modeler named mike]

Everytime I go past this '64 Chrysler imperial I get a woody! I've never seen it move ?

[A modeler named mike]

Today at the gas Station.'73 Pontiac Sprint,  Original owner, he ordered it new. It has 70 some thousand miles on it to date. Clean and straight and sounded very healthy.

What a wonderful car, the simpler the clearer.

Passed this guy on the way to Abilene, Texas. Except for the tires and blower it sort of looked like Milner's car.

That and it is a '28 or '29, not a '32. Bitchen Hot Rod, all the same!...

[oldcarfan]

I saw another retired Forestry truck today, this time a Ford. There are a few more around town, but usually they aren't where I can get a picture. I wish Ford would offer this color for private sales, I think it looks pretty nice!

That looks like a bunch of EXPENSIVE professional music PA equipment for a touring band.

Nice pic! You can hear that blower whine and feel the rumble from the pipes 

 

Looks like a break to let it cool down...
