FJ55 Land Cruiser
47 or 48 Pontiac?
Speaking of all things mullet, drop top 5.0 GT at work yesterday.
Back in 1990 I was working part-time at an auto parts store and one day me and a co-worker ( a few years older than me and he was rock’n da’ mullet !! ) went to lunch in his 1988 LX 5.0 conv Mustang ( 5-spd. and 3.08 L/S ).
After talk’n about cars of days gone by he said that his car could break the tires loose at 40mph - well, I called absolute BULLSH!T on that.
We were just coming to an off-ramp cloverleaf doin about 40 and he jammed the shifter in 2nd and side-stepped the clutch and put it on damn near fuel cutoff in the rev department - we went through that cloverleaf with the ass end hang’n out and the front wheels cut doin a Tokyo-Drift before I even knew there was such a thing.
It was AWESOME !!
Even though that version of “bust’n em loose at 40” was not what I was thinking of I gave him credit and everyone went to see the black marks after work that day and a small legend was born.
Those cars may not have been super fast but they were fun to drive!
The Ford was a contractors work truck that appeared to be in great shape and the Buick appeared to be ready for some TLC at a shop - hope it turns out well; those are the only year Skylarks that I have an eye for.
I saw one run for 35 minutes with the liquid glass in the engine. We all lost that bet.
A few more
A pic I saw on IG today. Great looking truck, I thought the stock hub caps with Rockwells was pretty slick.
Hard to really see but that’s a 69 Mustang GT and a 64-ish Falcon in that open car port.
After seeing this Italian Race Horse inspired car I never realized just how small these things are - ain’t no way my fatass is gonna fit in that thing !
The Hummer reminded me of when they were common on transports - I lost a lot of interest in those things once I figured out that they use upside down AMC Model 20 diffs. Just a shame…
