I felt a wee bit shafted getting a Horizon blue car, but maybe it's because I don't have enough of it on the outside to see that it's really a nice colour. |

Barn fresh and very crusty, just picked up from northern Wisconsin. Last registered in 1967.
Abandoned baja I think, at least they didn't cut the front off. W lid was gone. May be a *gasp* volksrod candidate.

Whoa dude...If thats the original engine in there, you should fix it or sell to someone who will. That rust is fixable all day. |

here's my 56 canadian custom std. Picked it up in Kelowna, BC canada.
after a stop in vancouver, and ferry trip to victoria island, and from victoria to port angeles, we drove it all the way down highway 101 and 1 home to santa maria, with out a hitch. 25 up the hills, but "Bullet" loves the down hills at 65. and 55 on the straights..
