Car Porn

The fact that it will spank most all V8's is a nice touch, On and off the track.

 

Well here is one you guys might enjoy. Not my dream car, but quite glorious. I have had the fortune to ride in it. My old boss's Stingray. He said it goes in the shop today to have Borla exhaust put on, and eventually he wants to supercharge it. Paddle shift.
Pic was taken just last night. Oh, and you can see my Stonewall in the background.

 

Corvette never disappoints and always seems to deliver performance wise. Looks are getting better too, I only liked the C2 but now I'm starting to like the new look.

 

I didn't at first, because I kinda have an aversion to anything modernized, but it grew on me. And it sure does haul ass!

 

Page number 66, in this thread, needs to have my all time favorite ride. A 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe. This one is not mine - but I have this exact car, under a tarp out back, needing to be finished off....



Canadian made, car porn!!

 

Here's a shot from when I had to move it around last year. The old girl needs some work. But she has those sweet lines!!!

 

Would.

Just for the Rally wheels.

 

Its funny that you posted that today as I was just thinking about putting up a Beaumont myself.

 

From the land of Oz:

 

As it was built in Canada (under the Pontiac symbol), and primarily distributed in a Canada - it's not very well known to those in the US. But there's some exceptions to that. The Sport Deluxe is a very rare beast. I was just chatting with a friend of mine - who is very knowledgeable on the Beaumont. The numbers are sketchy at best - but there was likely only about 2000 (ish) Sport Deluxe models ever made in '66. And we figured it would be a stretch to say that maybe 200 or 300 have survived to this day.

 

I'm not really a Ford guy any more, (had been brainwashed from birth, but defected to Toyota) but there are a few Fords that still have a special place in my heart, such as these two.



My Grandpa had a 79 full-size Ranger custom named Diamond Dick. Naturally, diamond Dick was a smoking rust heap, but I loved that truck. I could stick my feet through the floorboard, and it never ceased to amaze me when we would go down the interstate and I could watch rust flying off behind us. But that ol boy ran it's ass off, and it is why I love the old school Ford trucks.



A few miscellaneous favorites of mine:
Naturally this is my all time favorite of anything, ever. No explanation needed.

I've got a soft spot for Triumphs as well. My dad has two Triumph TR4's sitting in a garage on the other side of the water, one with electrical issues, and the other with mild body damage. Neither have ran since I've been alive. I do not have any pictures of them, (maybe dad does, I'll have to ask) but they are his retirement projects, so one day we will fix em. Obviously the one in the pic below is not ours.

I love the 89 Chevy Dually. Such a monster of a truck. My best friend has one, (amongst his fleet of Toyotas) but it is nowhere near as pretty as the one in this pic:

 

That Chevy reminds me of my Holy Truck Grail. An unmolested 1st Gen Cummins in an extended cab 4x4.



I've spent the better part of two decades craving one of these.

 

Now I certainly wouldn't mind a first gen Cummins myself!

 

...^^^... yep, it will ... I am just stuck in a time warp ...

 

Big old Mercury Land Barge!

 

4.6X's in good weather (4.63 is the lowest ET to date)

 

At the hardware store this week.... not so super fancy but I do love audi

 

Wish I had one to run to the Hardware Store in.

 

It was a v8. I think for important errends like the hardware store you should use the v10 R8
