Cool 1960 VW Bus

1960 VW Bus

I actually took these photos almost a year ago while working nights at an auto parts store. A customer arrived in this ultra-cool old VW bus. We talked about it quite a bit and I took these photos with my horrible cell phone, luckily they turned out fairly well. Watching this beauty roll in and out was a rare treat. It sounded great and all the lights worked.

HOT MAGNUM!!!

Burned 2005 Dodge Magnum

You don’t see these everyday. At least where I live. I saw something sitting far off a side street in an undeveloped industrial area two days in a row. I had a little free time at lunch that day so I went to investigate.

UltraVan 358, 'Lucy'

I posted photos of the UltraVan on Thursday night. Friday morning I received an email from Owen (who commented on the post) that he thought this UltraVan was possibly chassis number 358. That would mean that this UltraVan is a 1970 model, one of the last few UltraVans built, and is not fitted with the Corvair drivetrain but with a Corvette suspension, transaxle, and a 307 cubic inch Chevy V8! That is very interesting to a car nut like myself, but that is only the beginning of the story.

UltraVan!

When I stopped to photograph the 66 Corvair I spotted this odd looking RV. The large emblems proclaim it to be an UltraVan, which of course I had never heard of. After a few seconds on Google it was clear that this was a far more interesting find than the fairly easy to locate Corvair.

I stumbled upon this lonely 1966 Chevrolet Corvair today in a vacant lot behind a fast food restaurant. The lot is being used by a car dealer for storage, and this one looks like it came from auction recently.

This is a great story that shows what a group of determined people can do in a short period of time.

I really hate to have to post this one, it really does hurt my eyes. But that is what this website is (mostly) about… the weird and wacky stuff on the street. So for your viewing pleasure I present a semi-donked formerly-classic GTO convertible.

Advancing Again

I have starting working a second job at Advance Auto Parts again, so I may be posting more or less, I’m not sure which yet. It would be hard to post any less than I have the last two months, so I suspect that I will end up posting more. When I worked there two years ago I found lots of good stuff to post.

Chevrolet Lumina APV

Lumina APV

I was shocked to see this late 1980′s Lumina APV still reasonably intact and on the road in 2009. These vans were so horribly unreliable that 99% of them were junked long ago. Most of the body is plastic, and was another step in the development of GM’s plastic body panels which finally found success in with the Saturn SL in 1991. It was not uncommon to see these APV’s with pieces falling off when they were less than 10 years old.
