elcamino/wheelhorse 9,309 #378 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) That will wake the neighbors up early in the morning. The El Camino sounds a like like that , but it is the dang belts making a racket or parts getting ready to fall off . They cut outs are nice, back in the olden days you needed wrenches to make the cuts work. Love the sound.

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #381 Posted September 8, 2019 That is a beauty Jeff...thanks for sharing. That car sounds wicked cool both ways It reminds me of the 1970 GTO which had cut outs as a factory option and this really cool commercial... After watching it once and soaking in the classic late 60’s vibe and thinking about the fact that cut outs could actually be a factory option, watch it again to see all the cool muscle cars around the drive in. Lots of chevys and I think I see a GTX convertible towards the end. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,902 #384 Posted September 18, 2019 I popparazzied these trucks around town yesterday and thought I’d share. The black-ish truck “US Border Patrol” I’ve seen here and there, the red and blue ones were just random sights. I’d love to have a classic 3+3 Chevy or GMC some day, but Norman does just fine for now! FYI, when I see these on the road, I guesstimate their location in accordance to the iPad, shoot a bunch of pictures and look for good ones later.

bc.gold 3,403 #389 Posted September 21, 2019 Started out to the guys place that has the Wisconsin carburetor when I got sidetracked with a yard full of old farm equipment. Stopped in to introduce myself and got the grand tour. Interesting fellow, there will be more pictures along with a byline. Until then here's an interesting 1958 Fargo that's in pretty decent shape, when I showed Pat these pictures she fell in love with the old truck. 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
