Gotta love the little Dihatsu's lol-actually did lot of work outta one of those.Did it have the scissor lift bed?
 
1969 Chevelle SS 396 w/ 454 ci engine. Red with Black stripes. It's always nice when you and your wife share a favorite car. Will make it a little easier to get it since I won't have to talk her into it too much.

A very close second for me would be 1963 Stingray Corvette 327ci/360hp FI V-8 w/ the split rear window,. Also in Red.


That is my dream car,and second would be a 71 charger 426 hemi, ok I have my flame suit on for choosing mopar.

That's ok, I'll take a 68 or 69 any day too! Heck, any late 60's early 70's Mopar for that matter. Chargers, Challengers, Cuda's, GTX's, Super B's, you name it. :smile5:

It didnt have anything except a turndown exhaust, mud tires, chrome valve stems and shift knob. Did good stoppies and was easy to jump and drift.
Then we flipped it going 40. :frown5:
 
'70 Cadi Fleetwood hearse, chopped and tubbed, blown 500, flat black, bad brakes.:D
 
This is my current favorite Hot Rod..Just put on 4 wheel disc brakes, power steering, hydroboost pwr brakes, and air bags. I have all the trim off now and had all the stainless polished and aluminum reanodized....Should be driving it this weekend if I quit slacking:biggrin5:

We had one of those when I was on a job in Greece. It popped out of 2nd gear so one guy drove and the other guy shifted on those twisty roads on Skiatos Island.......many 3 wheel turns in that death trap!:D

Thanks Dave.........I bought it with the paint job and the engine. The brakes were really scary and the suspension was worn out. I got a bunch of before and after pictures I should post of the work I did on it. It was a project! Handles like a dream now. The thing will stop on a dime now and give you back change :D

Looks like some serious "toys". I'd be interested in pics of the 64 wagon.......... [email protected]. What's the history on the 79 Malibu wagon? I sold one a few years back as a half finished tubbed/half tube chassis drag car. It was to a guy in Kansas I believe, and I lost touch after the fact.
