I would rather have a 67-72 Blazer or Jimmy but the International Scout would be a good second choice. Their driveline is solid and the styling is unique. If we get a snowy winter the 4x4 would be handy.
1975 International Scout I was checking prices on old Buick parts earlier and came across this 1949 Buick Super ragtop for sale. The ragtop is the big money car and I would love to add it to my collection. The style is amazing and the driveline is impressive . 1949 Buick Ragtop
Thinking street rod project today - what could be cooler than a 1932 Ford pickup? Some of the hard work is done - seems to sit right -sure would be nice. Wish there was a price so I knew if I could even afford dreaming about it. 1932 Ford truck
Can you still call it a longroof if it is this short?
Crosley tin Woody . Crosley is more famous for their refrigerators and radios than cars but that only makes them more cool. I have been researching electric cars lately and this would be a neat platform for an electric car conversion. I haven't got all the details together- maybe a forklift donor, a bunch of batteries, some faux woodgrain, indigo blue paint...Gotta get one of those solar panels so I can recharge for free. Once in a while I come across a unique vehicle that catches my eye.
The Volvo P1800 is a car with lots of style and performance potential. One of my high school teachers drove one and a friend of mine "restored" one a few years ago - it looked stock but he made a bunch of performance improvements. He said it was one of the most fun cars he had driven. This one for sale is a major project but well worth the price if you have the skills and the nerve. Myself being a longroof fan would love a P1800ES also known as Snow White's Coffin There used to be hundreds of companies manufacturing cars in the teens, twenties and early thirties. They had cool names too. Today we look at a 1923 STAR . It looks like there is enough there to make a car - who knows how hard it would be to find parts. It would be unusual - at least around here and looks like it would be neat to drive.
Some nights I do a little research while or after I blog - tonight I found out that several of my recent blogs are unknowingly connected. STARs were built by Durant who also built the Rugby. here is the link : STAR [ automobile] Once again the best deal in a while is far away and needs two trips to get everything home. I have always liked these cars and would love to build one and I have done well parting them out before. This deal you can do both - keep the best parts for the one you build and sell the parts off the other one. The last one I had it was suggested that I build a Nascar tribute car and that would be real cool or just a cool driver would be good as well.
