NON Chevy’s in the Wild

The wife and I want to make a 'VANPER', for travel after Kaz is old enough to elect not to go with us.

Planned on getting a raised roof van of some kind in a few years.
I stopped by this one today just to kill some time thinking they'd want $10k or something.

Nope. $5k. Now I'm kicking myself for even stopping because I frickin LOVE it :doah:

I picked one up for $1000 chevy.
You just need to keep looking and grab it when there's a deal.
The are pretty common here in the $2500-5000 range
 
In addition to the Camaro that i posted on the Chevy page these were also in our hangar to day for AMT Day. That’s Aviation Maintenance Technician Day and celebrates the birthday of Charles Taylor, the Wright Brother’s mechanic.

Good looking Mustang.

And this Jeep that I was drooling over. No tool cut outs, but two piece windshield, and low hood, so I think CJ2A.

Looks like a passenger side ignition switch, so I’m pretty sure it’s a 2A. It’s the key slot below the chrome parking brake handle. Look through the bottom section of the steering wheel if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Windshields are easy to swap, that’s not.

Here’s today’s catch of non-chevys.

Twenty-five years ago I would have never looked twice at an old Dent-Side Ford being worked on outside but nowadays I just appreciate that someone cares enough to put some TLC back into it.

The step-side bumpside appears to be a daily driver.

And the ‘67 Mustang GT just says dirty things to me that makes me wanna take it home and work on it with the best of my tools until we’re both ready for a really long drive… I may have gott’n carried away with that one!

I've always had a soft spot for the older Datsun Z's.
My first model car was one.
 
My old boss's dad owned a body shop.
They bought 2 wrecked 280s. One front end, other rear. Cut them in half and welded them together to make one. When he was 15-16.
Right after he got it done and started driving it, it was stolen, then totaled in a police chase.
He never built another project car again. :notworthy:
Which sucks because he was a successful and brilliant dude, that would have created some AMAZING rides if he had.
 
A few Jeeps were in attendance ( apparently black is a fairly rare color for Jeeps ) as well as the original car that John Milner’s character drove in American Graffiti - seen it before at several local shows and apparently it’s the real deal and not just one made to look like the original.

The Cobra’s showed off the ole “Red, White & Blue colors nicely today!

Folks at the show couldn’t figure out why I took a pic of the OBS F-350 going down the road…

Kind of a retro non-Chevy in the wild pic.

This was a Buddy of NVRENUF and mine from back in the 90’s when we was all racing together.
It was a ‘86 Yota with a 454 BBC, heavily ported oval ports, tunnel ram with twin Predators, Comp Cams roller grind 268 @ .050 .680 lift on a 108 LSA - 3,800 JW stall with a TH400/205 and a narrow cab chassis 14B with 5.13’s and a FJ40 Land Cruiser front axle with 5.29’s on 44” TSL’s.

It was heavy but ran really well considering that it was pieced together with what he had at the time.

Those were some great times racing together!
