Hey wrong thread. 😜  Crotch rocket Donorcycles on AZ69 are abusing the lane splitting law, and doing 80 sometimes.

Club cruise night last week.

a 62 actually.

Pt Reyes Station is a great place for car watching, especially on a weekend.  Saw this a couple of years back about a block away from your photo location.  Not a garage queen, had "The Club" on the steering wheel and the dash board was comprehensively weatherchecked.  But what would a resto cost for a Gullwing?

Now that's a cool roadside sighting. The 'Club' and the weather-checked dash are icing on the cake. Forget the resto; it's much more cool in it's present condition. Bring the maintenance up to date, check the tires, fill the tank, and hit the road.

Yup, a typo. The plate even says that it is a '62.

Didn't I see that you have to post pictures, or you didn't see it? 😉

Last century when I had a '57 Chevy station wagon, I met this guy with that '57 4 door Hardtop.  At the time he was trying a turbo.  I'm sure it's him, but was driving Stealth.

Followed a Plymouth Duster with 340 badges in metallic blue. Nose down stance with massive rears and a throaty rumble. Also a Toyota FJ Cruiser in orange. Never knew they existed.

Rare beasts in the middle of York!

Wow, a set brought $85K at an auction last year.  The rich DO live interesting lives, far more than I.

I was too busy dodging all these idiots to take pictures, plus breaking out the cell phone camera at 80mph on a freeway full of people demonstrating their deficient driving skills ain't particularly safe!...😉🙂😉

Looks real to me, but what do I know about fake cars. 😏  Also dodgy to take pictures while driving, I never do that. 🙄  This is my on-the-road shot for tonight, the beginning of White Spar, I'm doing about 2 MPH, not twice the posted suggestion on the corner signs.

Earlier today, outside a mechanic's shop sat this C-10, been in the family forever, he has it with a built engine.  So I'll *have to* show him my Green Barge.

Some left turn red lights are forever, so it's a great time spender.  My first traffic light from home is a stupid "smart" light, many times I sit there with no traffic coming my way, both directions, then when a platoon gets close, the first cars run the red light.

Bosa Donuts P.V. cruise, for some reason a bunch of Fords congregated.





 

Cars & Coffee:
One of three Cobras there.

The only Task Force pickup:

I built a 3D printed model of this truck, looks ready for paint!

This C-10 Survivor has only FIVE THOUSAND+ miles, no rust anywhere, even behind the bumpers.  The owner hunts down estate sales, to beat the used car dealers.

Some interesting JDM and other imports:

Now to find the Outlaw Porsche thread.....

Today's sightings.

This '65 New Yorker musta broke down on the way to the car show, as it was there on the way there and back.

Some more from today.  Last century when I was going to college, carpooled with a guy who had exactly this, same color, to go ski at Snowbowl.  Cold as you know what, he was switching the heat lever back and forth.  I remember the ride more than the day of skiing.

Love the bumpers.

[Perspect Scale Modelworks]

Not on the road, but on line. Apparently this was a thing in 1977 at New Smyrna Beach, Fl. This would make an interesting build.
