Late 1940's Oliver 77 set for tractor pulling. It has a Oliver 1655 direct injected diesel squeezed in under the hood.
Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.
If some one could tell me how to rotate, that I would appreciate it
[QUOTE=canyon-ghost;1321229]Glad I'm not the only one in love with the Buick Regal, awesome 2 door hardtops! Always wanted a Grand National could not afford when they were new. Still love the way they look.
Attachment 319731 Texas Iron Horse----no hay or oats to feed! No road apples to shovel up.
My daily driver is a 1997 2-door Tahoe with the rear barn doors. They stopped making 2-doors in 1999, so these are a minimum of 25 years old now, and purely through attrition, they are getting scarce and harder to find. I bought mine last year from a local young man for just $7,000. And just last week I was offered $14,000 for it. No special lift or wild off-road accessories on it. Just a plain old stock specimen. Now that I'm 55 and survived a bad wreck 3 years ago with a spinal injury, I can't get up in anything lifted anyway, so this is just my speed. Anything that requires more ground clearance than this, I got no business fooling around with anyway. Besides, here in the desert, our main concern is sand. As long as I have wide footprint tires so I don't sink, and don't try to take on the talcum powder type of sand,...this will get me almost anywhere I dare to be stupid enough to drive.
And for the more adventurous jaunts into the brush, I've bot my Segway Fugelman UT10 SxS. With 1000cc, it even hauls my fat butt.

I used to have a 70' Chevelle. I dropped in a built 383 stroker with 500+ hp, built rear end, built transmission, and made a drag car out of it. Loved the hell out of it. Ended up selling it to a buddy of a buddy who wanted to do cruises with his Dad and he happened to own an hvac company and traded me for heating and a/c for my house and garage.
Fast forward a few years, he passed away from cancer. Turns out he knew he was terminal and wanted to cruise with his Dad before he passed. So the car definitely went to the right guy. He did a bunch of work to it, swapped a 6 speed into it, made it what I always wanted to but never had the time or motivation to do it.
I messaged one of his daughters last week saying I hope it stays in the family and they enjoy it like he did. My buddy who got me in touch with the guy originally hits me up two days later (she never even saw the message) to inform me they're selling the car.
So I'm going on Friday to look at and potentially buy back my 70' Chevelle. Even got the green light from the wife.
I'm pretty stoked and will definitely post pictures if I can get it back.
I put a lot of blood, sweat, and effort into that car. It was an absolute blast to drive and was hell at the strip. Even just the opportunity to get it back has me very hopeful.
