First pickup we had on the farm! Probably still sitting there. Block cracked,I think when the antifreeze weakened

The same seller as my Pontiac Laurentian. Love the patina. I bet it would revive pretty easy.

Patina is perfect! :thumbup: I always wonder how the patina is preserved in these type of restos.  They must require some type of low sheen sealant applied i presume?

That looks like body filler and primer though. Abandoned project?

I thought maybe it had been painted with a brush at some point. Hard to know until seeing in person.

Sadly - I probably won't  :(

I need to get the frame back underneath the Austin before I buy anything else. Currently its taking up the whole garage. Getting closer to having the front suspension done.

Lots of Subaru talk on the board lately, so here's an old one to consider.

That price seems insane. It's a neat vehicle for sure, but I can't imagine the appetite for a RWD SUV at that price point is there. I wonder how difficult it would be to convert to 4WD?

I saw that as well. Interesting and super good condition but that needs to be on BAT or something for that price tag.

I found the RV of my dreams! Its overpriced unfortunately. Also the wife says no way she'd camp it in.  :rofl2:




I like someone added racing seats to this thing. Is there anything less race like than this?  :rofl:

Well, getting your wife to camp in it appears to be an endurance race

Custom 1972 Datsun 510 - turns out it's for sale too, or I would've just put it in the video thread.  Damn I want this...damn I can't have it. I bet it's damn expensive.

Barring that...another "damn I wish I could" would be this thing...1947 Chevy coupe
Might even be persuaded to do it like the first pic.  At that price it'll be gone in days or it's a fake...
