Nice finds. That ghost body vert is cool.
That Giha needs some love. Probably not a bunch of those on the island. At first glance it doest look bad. I wonder if the salt air is a problem for the rust monster. |

Here’s two more within striking distance. The blue 69 is complete but has been stored outside and it’s beginning to show. It looks to be very original.
Other car is interesting as well and appears to have suffered a recent engine fire
If I were younger I’d be knocking on the door to buy a car. |

Pulled up next to this 66 yesterday afternoon. I have no idea who the driver/owner is.
We pulled away from a stop light and I waved him by. Then snapped the pic.
The driver had a huge inflatable Gorilla in the passenger seat.
We traveled along the back roads for a few miles. Then went our separate ways.

He’s a dirty bird. Look at him just spreading that oily discharge around town. Probably stings a bit. Time for some Zithromax. At the very least a tune up and new valve cover gaskets. Dudes in that bar pounding Alabama Slammers and buying hotties Sex on the Beach drinks. Total panty dropper. You go get ‘em tiger. Pretty sure that guy bought me a Michelob Dry back in the day

Nice old school looking Buggy complete with single port engine, cannons and... marking it's territory! Doesn't come much better than that!
Are those EMPI valve covers? That would explain the leak!
P.S. I wonder if it has the regulation plastic fuel filter between the fuel pump and carb? It is parked next to the fire lane...
