Saved some LV's today....

[OGBeno]

TheMule and I drove from ABQ to just north of Las Vegas, NM and saved these two LV's from almost certain painful death.

TheMule will be transporting them back to SLC tomorrow to begin salvage operations.

It was a distinct pleasure helping in the cause of saving tradition and the beauty within these old gentle beasts.

Cheers.

How sacrificial of you! Nice save.


LV= Las Vegas?

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Very Cool !!!

What year is that blue one?

 

[MiniPigg]

Ahh dudes.... Awesome..... I hate seein history getting sent to the crusher....

 

[OGBeno]

Very Cool !!!

What year is that blue one?

They are both 1964's. Both had V8's; orange one was rolled in an accident and will probably be used as the parts vehicle. The blue one will be restored.

Save travels back to SLC Mule...

Nice going. The blue one looks very good for it's age. Maybe a restore on the blue one and a gnarly SOA trail rig out of the orange one.

HaHa Mot! That's what I was thinking too! Either Kaleb has got way too much time on his hands, or he's gonna use the LV as a template to make some wicked cool 'MULE' accessories for the LV market.

Now there's a niche for ya Kaleb.



Maybe my 45 will have a new wheeling buddy at Moab next year!

Made it home... 12 hours on the road, 53' of misery behind me with some very nice history on board. Thanks for all of your hospitality, help and company on the adventure -o-!

More pictures to come...

Thanks for your support Mark, remember one can never have too many Cruisers! Did you get the sticks?

Looking forward to some more campfire guitar this year at CM!

I was hoping Beno wouldn't initiate the 45s by rolling them on the way home, but looks like someone already beat him to it on the orange/white one


glad to see a few oldies saved.
