Classic spotted

[Bluetribal]

Yeah, there are flames at the top of the air foil.

I personally love the cheese grater panels over the Ex-Cab windows and the aluminum ground effects.

 

[Slomo]

x2 on the groud effects. I am also digging the bedrail bar on the back of the cab and the spikes??? along the top of the bed. Is that ribbed for her pleasure?

 

[Bluetribal]

They were actually a bunch of loops for tied downs or something.

Oh my god that is classic. Looks like he drove through Pep Boys with a magnet. You gotta love the "Style".

Yep. The crap magnet was definitely on. Where are the curb feelers and extra lights?

Wonder what the interior looks like?

I am afraid to know. Probably a mural of a naked chick slaying a dragon with spiked pasties on the dash. ;p

hahahha cool

Reminds of the time i had to ship my military truck. They had a tough time trying to fit the truck on the trailer. Finally, by the 3rd truck, i think they finally got it to fit. They didn't listen when i told them it had a snorkel and a exhaust stack that both stuck up in the air about 10 feet! Not to mention it was running 40's. They wanted to fit it on the bottom! LOL .. morons.

Wonder how much this person paid on Ebay for this clean cruiser????

Fixed it!


Dave - where the heck did you park that thing when you had it? That truck would definitely carry more crap than the 80!

405/Sunset? On it's way to the OC no doubt
This has got TLC written all over it. Nothing that nice on e-bay for a long time.

For those of you that don't know about Fontucky, you'll probably never see a town like it again. It's being inundated by yuppies now, but when I was growing up in the 909, it was...well, lemme give you a quick rundown.

The motto of Fontana is "Fontana...hey, at least we're not Muscoy."

The official flower of Fontana is an Empty Baggy of Crystal Meth Stuck to a Tumbleweed.

Fontana was once home to the KKK's west coast stronghold, as well as White Aryan Resistance and the RAHOWA (Racial Holy War) Movement. Although the rallies and road blocks have stopped (for the most part), the racists forgot to leave. Only place in America that I've seen a flag pole and a proudly displayed swastika flag in the front yard of a home...in a predominantly black neighborhood.

Fontana is a Dorothea Lange picture come to life. I once saw an old black man, covered in dust, wearing dirty engineer's overalls, tattered work boots, a gingham check shirt, and a newsboy hat, leaning against the porch of a wood slat liquor and general store with a dirt parking lot. That was like two weeks ago.

Somewhere in Fontana, right now, there is a black man with a Fu Manchu moustache and a long, braided ponytail, riding a Harley chopper with ape bars and a confederate flag painted on the gas tank, doing 80mph down a residential street, drinking a tall boy, with no helmet on and a Colt 1911 .45 caliber pistol showing out of the back of his pants. He is on his way to a seedy dive bar to score some meth and shoot the guy who banged his fourteen year old girlfriend last week. On his way back to his trailer, he will be stopped by police, who will shake him down and take his meth, then let him go. The police will snort the meth, then pay a visit to their favorite fourteen year old hooker.

I heart Fontana.

Um, dude, did I just read that?

Heading N - thought about TLC also. If that person is bringing it to TLC, he or she definitely has the coins...

Believe it or not, i parked it in our apartment complex where we used to live. I wired up a CCTV on it 24 hours a day. People tended to check it out a lot Had chain and lock on the steering wheel and no keys to start. Some guy tried to joy ride it one night, but couldn't figure out how to start it

 

[bpenn1980]

Did I tell you guys that TLC quoted me $1,100 for tie rod end replacement? wow, just wow. With some strategic help from Sam I got it done for approximately $300 in parts.

Cool place though, lots of cruisers to gawk at.

 

[Slomo]

Um, dude, did I just read that?

Oh yeah. That is some of Shahram's finest. His comedy comes from a level I could only hope to someday achieve.

You should hear his theory on techno music, David Haselhoff, and swastika's on Cruiser doors.

A man who cannot laugh at his own follies is a sad man indeed.

Took some time off from suburbia this week and found two 40s:
Top+ This one from the set of Desperate Housewives on Hysteria Lane (Universal Studio Tour) Wrong stamp date.
Middle+ From a residential street in Santa Barbara - Wrong Election Year!
Bottom+ Its a Toyota alright.

 

[Slomo]

Nice spots Alan. A Toyota classic is definitely better than a Ford classic. Pretty wild they have one on the set of Desperate Housewives.

Well the thread was titled Classic spotted and I figured it wouldnt hurt to add Land Cruisers to it. Ive been wanting to spot/photgraph modified LC wagons but no luck. Theres always SnT but thats too easy...LOL.

Almost missed that pic on the studio set - I had to turn on the camera and twist my neck 180 degrees to get that passing shot. They had a car trailer with old classics and Euro cars to make the streets around the set "lived in".

Actually the Toy's have been appearing on shows quite a bit this season. The first episode of Prison Break had a tan 60 series in it driven by Coyotes in Mexico and I think the very same 60 Series was in the third episode of Terminator. In that episode they pulled out of a gas station with the gas hose still in the filler tube and whipped onto the road with the gas hose swinging out wide.

And I have a classic I need to pull off of my phone and add to this thread. A tan 55 series has made a home across from the Vons near 30th & El Cajon Blvd. I have seen it almost every day going home for the last week.
