Other vehicles caught in the wild. The Good. The Weird and The Ugly.

In a world of boring cookie cutter cars we are increasingly deprived of the art of the automobile.

Occasionally I see some very nice classics, some exotic sports cars and some really obnoxious contraptions, so I thought that since we are all motorheads at heart, we could share the Good the Weird and the Ugly.

I'll start the show with the only Bugatti I've ever seen in the wild.

Warning: Most of my pictures come from a cheap security cam so the quality isn't great.

That's my favorite car. I had a 69 Malibu in frost green but it wasn't as pretty as yours.

I had a 69 that color way way back when I was 18 or 19. And thank you. I been fooling with that forever. I got that car a week before I got this van. They both my babies.

That Van... it's fast.

The Chevelle... I have not had the pleasure, but surely it's quicker !!
And maybe more fun - LOL
Sure Looks Fine!!

That's beautiful. Mine came with a 307 that smoked like a mosquito fogger. I found an engine in the newspaper that was supposed to be a 350 but turned out to be a 327. I put an Edelbrock Performer and matching cam in it and a Holley 600 carb. It had a stock posi rear end and the stock Saginaw 3 on the tree so i put in a Hurst floor shifter. It would pull the front tires off the ground if I dumped the clutch.

It was a fun car and I miss it a lot.

Here's a nice 68 Nova that I saw in the wild. I'm not a fan of the oversized wheels but it is a sweet car.

Last run the bugs are pretty much worked out. I am starting to trust it. I will swing by soon. Matter of fact I will call you now.

LOL I used to predominately drive chevelles. 307's were the motor you got most of the time. But very little work and they run. 307 2 bbl 2 speed 330 rear. Power steering and a/c white and black interior. Same color blue as my van had factory. That is what this chev was.

That is why the fond memories and also why they passed all those smog laws trying to keep people from having rockets on the road. Read articles from back then. It never was about air quality. Making money and controlling the masses. But I digress.
