What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

Going into town yesterday I passed a real moving Ford Probe.  Haven't seen one of those in years, I figured they had all been crushed into Priuses by now. Went to a model show today just for a quick walk through to look for some parts.  On the way out had an opportunity to talk to a guy with a cherry, original 64 Nova.  He said it was the first car he had ever owned; he was in late 60's early 70's.  Said he had over 525K miles on it with the little 6-banger.  It was a real survivor, no noticeable rust, interior still in good condition, and a well faded reddish paint job.  When he mentioned he was getting 30 mpg, I offered to trade my F-150 for it; this 16.9 and 17.8 is killing me.

Had a delivery this morning.

We're building up a new service truck for our inventory, and the chassis has completed its 4X4 conversion.

It's officially the most badass truck on our lot right now.

2023 F650 Supercab, high hp diesel, air brakes, air ride.

4X4 conversion from Tulsa Truck Mfg, with super singles and military wheels/tires.

 

Soon to be getting a 14ft aluminum service body, 10k crane, and a Raptair compressor/generator unit.

Makes my half ton look tiny.

Some very cool stuff there! Get any pics of the Ranchero parked next to that green Belair? Those goofy Rancheros are awesome. :)

From a previous visit so I didn’t photo it this last trip.    And a few bonus photos from the earlier visit!

I’m in love.. I used to have a 60 Electra 2 door hardtop.

And if this one had a For Sale sign on it I would have surely inquired!

If you like it, you should always ask. You never know what's going on for someone else and I have even planted a seed for the future on more than one occasion.

Yes that was a Flxible!  Can’t wait to see what they do with it!

And before anyone asks about the 60 Ford in the last photo, here it is

Camaro getting the full treatment! I took a few photos since I thought this could be a cool model!

Lemme see if I can swing back and see if any of the other mentioned cars are still there!

I'd love to have that '60 Sunliner. I probably still have a few NOS pieces laying around for it too!
