Always loved these little things...
1972 Datsun 510


Or one of these.
1977 International Harvester Scout II


Maybe less bright would be nice.


BAT's a horrible way to spend time...so much for putting in OT!!

I have a BRE 510 in a box with my AFX slot car set.

Still amazes me to see Scouts with no rust on them. Seems they rusted before being sold. But they still look pretty good - it was a great design at the time!

The Scout name may be coming back on an electric off-roader as Volkswagen now owns the name, after purchasing the group that owned Navistar.

^^ Those old Scouts were cool. Apparently they also came with a Nissan diesel. Vice Grip brought one back to life recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVeJfZv_HFE

There is a guy in town with one of the world's largest International collections (including big trucks) who has a good number of Scouts.

^^ I was going to post that one for you  ;D Note how the rear quarters are butted right up to the front fenders, doing away with the doors!

Aww!  That's so cute!  I could see Bubba driving that to the Coral for Sunday cruise night!  ;D  He could even join the Khartum Kops in the/a parade!  Parking at Wal Mart would be a snap!!

Meets Dent's odd duck requirement, with semi-difficult part sourcing yet totally charming and practical. Also, it's in AB. So clean though - anything on the to-do list?

Oh I like that! The MkIII is rare in Canada. The automatic is a bit of a bummer but the condition is amazing.

As a kid neighbours had a Cortina sedan, British racing green of course. We had a Peugeot 404 at the time, followed by a 504 - would have loved for one of these two to stick around in a barn!

I just noticed that Busso powered old '27 Ford.

Yep, going nuts. Beautiful.

The builder was an engineer for Alfa-Romeo in the US. He used a pre-prod Busso from a 164 that served for emissions testing. Nice way to recycle parts!

Oh boy lol. Looking for a $20k truck for half price…..and having the nerve to be so demanding and fussy at the same time. I can guarantee these are worth far more than $10k. The guy sounds like a jerk right from the start anyway.

Jokes on me if he actually gets someone offering a Tundra so cheap.

I feel like replying to him with the perfect truck. Then let him down because after all, I’m a dealer.

When's the last time you saw a Buick Skyhawk wagon, let alone one in this shape?
