60+ year old thread.

Welcome to the Porch Larry @LarryJ1959 .
I was a few years younger when I posted for the 60 thread. Who would have thought so many good folks would have Tacomas .
A great group of folks here and always something cooking
Enjoy and post away.

 

Ditto @johneman!
Finally hit 62 and enjoying senior discounts at the local public golf course!

 

Evening all:

A welcome to the newbies on the porch, pull up a chair and join in.

Here you go Jim, my baby, factory 427 L-72 car owned since new.

car owned since new.

 

Oh yeah. That’s a sweet ride. I love that model year! Thanks for sharing

 

It was old and pretty beat up, my brother put a lot of work into retruing the wheels, overhauling the 3-speed hub, replacing the cables, tires, pedals, shifter trigger, brake pads...

His working theory was it was thrown to the curb on trash day and then got snowed under; given his background, he knew a diamond in the rough when he saw one.

 

Both WOW and !
Was just sitting on the back patio and saw a black bear over in the woods with 3 cubs in tow and heading towards the pond.
One of the cubs was brown/cinnamon and the other two were black, never saw a bear that color except for pictures, hopefully I'll get an opportunity to get a picture of it.

 

THAT actually happened to me.

 

Mine was 64' Malibu SS. Pic taken Round 1967.

My late teen years were spent drag racing for money on the streets Friday and Saturday nights or at the drag strip.

Mine was not the Malibu SS we raced in. The race car was "street legal" 65' Malibu SS. Blue printed and balanced Aluminum block L88 427, fiberglass tilt up front end, straight front axle, chopped down rear axle, cuts out in the trunk to accommodate the wrinkle wall slicks, stripped interior, roll cage and many many more mods.

Mine, all show and no go....But the girls did not care, especially the hotty lifeguard with the big boobs who went out with me because of my car. We were life guards together. I married her a few years later. We're still happily married 54 yrs later and when people ask our secret to a successful marriage we both laugh and say, hot cars and boobs...

I got your point about the build for particular plants and/or details of that particular model.
What I need was to verify the part numbers for the headlights, which I already have from Google search, the guy just declined the help from the get go. Fortunately the USA is still a free market country, I guess I just ordered it from a different store.

Exactly!

 

That bike will look great when restored. I had a Royce union 3 speed bike growing up. Rode it everywhere. Even rode it with a starter set of golf clubs on my back to the U of MD 9 hole golf course to play a few rounds. Back then it was 25 cents to play a round for students.

Carl, always a treat to see pics of your 66. It was a good year for Chevy and Pontiac.

Good morning. Going to start cleaning the old smoker up to sell on Marketplace. Walking early today and probably not tonight. Last night it was 95° at 8pm. Try to stay cool and drink a lot of water today.

 

Morning kids back from camping

From my post above with the picture of the head crest of the Hercules:

I heard last night my application has been granted the necessary exception to get around the current hiring freeze; I should have my formal offer letter this week.

 

Me too in Pennsylvania. Where are you?

 

Getting hot here in upper Allen. Shut the venting off in the rooms not used. Not to sure if that’s a smart move.
