I like resto-mods.  Engine from a 2003 Tahoe.

1951 GMC Suburban - $30000

Not sure about the fender skirts but the rest looks nice.

I like fender skirts on cars that were designed for them. I know I'm in the minority on that though.

Cummins 67 Mercury


I betcha  Catherine McKenna wouldn't own that ? ;D

Or Greta Thurnberg.  :P

Except for the noxious and obnoxious smoke, it'd be kinda cool.  Great on fuel, stump pulling torque.  What more could a classic car buyer want?  (other than a newer turbo engine)

A diesel like that would absolutely walk all over an equivalent gas engine. That thing makes torque that a gas engine can only dream about. I would rock that, hood stack and all.
Lighten up Francis.....

^^^Has those stupid transport wheels. Out local GM dealership had it compound broken into, they made off with 8 sets of 22" transport wheels. Not street legal, they're supposed to get destroyed upon removal. Some seedy black market guys are asking $1000+ for a set.

I like the steel wheels and trim ring retro look on an old vehicle, but not in 22".

I rather like that, nothing worse than a huge fender gap on a 2wd truck.

My step-father's best friend had a 300D sedan with the MB Tex seats that looked like new forever.  Amazing  build quality.  You just can't ever be in a hurry.  ;D

They were pigs when it came to get up a go though......

That interior and dash brings back memories of my mom's 86 300E.  Wheel like it came off a bus.  ;D
