Gloriously ugly, and for sale on my local Craigslist (for way too much).

[lordgalvar]

Damn, I would love that thing! That would be the perfect sleeper...too bad it is badly priced (and in a different country). Looks like it is hiding some rust probably too. But all those useless vents and intakes!

[Chankgeez]

That is pretty sweet… unfortunate that it's overpriced.

Dude, that green hemi van with the challenger (I think, maybe cuda? ) grill is so awesome!

What is that?


Also trying hard to not start working on an Ol Valiant VE pacer, take all the engine and driveline out, replace it with a hydrogen cell system, update the steering and suspension and replace the steel panels and doors with carbon fibre.
My financial situation says "unobtanium" but my heart says "this where dreams live".

Just a pic I randomly encountered on the internet?

Apparently, that's like a whole big thing or something:

Glad you finally got a Chevy in there after all that dodge love... dodge is heresy...

That chopped van is pretty awesome.

Yea, I know it has been everywhere.

If that white one with the motor cycle on it didn't have the cycle, I'd say it looked pretty sharp.

Man, I can't stand Eric Clapton. Not only is he boring (perfect for that movie) but this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Against_Racism
Yea, I didn't post the Van with DeVito, or the first Cheech and Chong Movie, but this is good enough. Can't get the image of creepers with a water hose out of my head now...

NSFW: show

Hadn't seen that.

Well, I started looking at Dodge vans and got sidetracked to Chevys.

(Must run in my blood, my grandfather was a Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge brand loyalist.)

Thanks for fixing that man! or did I get censored? Or did I really put in italics? Dude...either something is going on in my head or I am just busy for once!

I'm just glad that Mopar and GM people can have a civil conversation online!

I'm not as crazy as my dad though. Likes only weird British cars and Chevy. That's it.

My Grandpa is Ford all the way. Constant little remarks to each other about it.

I like Darts though (and admittedly I think Cudas are so ugly they are cool...but yea, it still feels wrong)



And a part of me thinks it is just misplaced Nova love (which I think is what led to my budget Falcon shopping )

Hell, I'd take any for the right price. It'd be all GM under the hood though. (probably...unless I got a deal on some neat engine).

Really leaning towards selling the truck (maybe) and/or getting something like this:


Think I might have to eventually...

[Chankgeez]

You're welcome. Yeah, you put it in italics. Just an "MG" away from posting an image.



(That station wagon looks really nice. )

[lordgalvar]

My mom ran an MG Sprite off a freeway onramp...then they sold it so they could have a ride for me in a car seat...Chevy Blazer (it was terrible...even my dad didn't like it). Had cool vinyl zipper pockets on the sides of the seat though. I kept a laffy taffy in there for like 3 years and only took it out when we sold it. My dad was kind of mad.

Sorry dude, I meant this one:

I love it.
