Well import one then.   They are old enough to be imported.    They are also old enough that you will need to do some work on even the newest of them.

Seen an old Tempo with a luggage rack on the trunk and a bale of hay strapped to the luggage rack

Nice!

Driving to Fargo today; I'm doing 80 mph in the right lane and I'm passed by a Chevy Spark doing at least 85.

I'm still a fan of these especially with the V8 in them.

This was at the track yesterday, I drooled a little.

He even did a few laps with it, corners were not it's forte, but creds to the guy.

FIL has buddies 69 bird over to give it a polish. Car was filthy when I was over, but you get the idea.

I think that is a 67 or 68. The 69 had body coloured headlight bezels. What engine is in it? My boss (way back in the early seventies) owned a 67 convertible with the 326 V-8. The other engines were a SOHC inline six, and the 400 CI V-8. The SOHC  inline six was revolutionary at the time.

^Youre right, bezel was also a different shape. FIL knows his cars, so either it’s not original or he slipped with the year. It’s got a 400.

That's a '68.  Those are one of my favourite cars.   :love:

So, there's one that hasn't rusted to oblivion yet?

The body looked to be in good shape!

No pics, but a modded Nissan cube - painted a nice shade of flat green, with flat gold door handles, a suspension drop, BBS-style wheels (gold mesh with chrome rims) and a custom exhaust that nearly touched the ground. It actually looked good for what it is, and it had a stick.

Finally spotted the "orange low thing with crazy doors" that my wife reported to see aty a house in our 'hood. It's a McLaren  8)
