In 1983, when I was 16 years old, I helped my stepfather build a kit car on a Ford Pinto chassis. It’s called a “Gazelle,” and it’s a replica of an old Mercedes (1929, I think?). He died a few months ago, and my mother just gave it to me.
The car is still at my Mom’s house. I have never driven it. I need to drive it back to my house soon and do some routine maintenance on it (change oil, etc.). My Mom mentioned the brakes might be bad, so I may end up replacing them, too. It has 4700 miles on it.
Check out this new Airstream Basecamp X trailer. I spotted this the other night. It can come with a 3” lift kit for added ground clearance. I’m not sure I like the styling — it might need to grow on me. And it may never grow on me.
The trailer has a lot of windows, which I like.
The tow mule is, I think, a 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 S with the biturbo V8. Overall this is a nice setup.
This is certainly not your father’s Airstream trailer.
A newish Toyota Camry, with a two tone paint job (or wrap, possibly). The bottom part was a silver-gray, and the top black. At first glance the black top made it look like a convertible.
I saw an absolutely pristine, no shit, 1984 SVO Mustang. I could tell immediately by the unique wheel covers and it was confirmed by the engine under the hood.
Those were never popular and they were very expensive for the time so survivors are very rare. I should have gotten pictures.
Cool. Neither had I heard of them before. That’s absolutely micro. It’s something I’d expect to see in a parade or at the circus, but not out and about every day. It looks darn dangerous, suicide doors and all.
It does look like a clown car because of it’s size. Since the engine is in the back there’s leg room up front. It would be a great car if you lived on an island.
Photo untouched / unprocessed.
No idea if this is a stock Audi color, but it sure is bright.
The sun was setting and the car was in the shadows, but that green sure did POP!
Twin stick? Like the old Dodge Colts had? I never realized the Omni GLH had that. Nor would I have expected it, since it was a Mitsubishi transmission. I had no idea it was used in any home-grown Chrysler vehicles. Unless I’m completely wrong and you’re talking about a completely different twin-stick transmission.
Well, it may have been aftermarket. It wasn’t my car and I never asked; I just took it out for a couple of joyrides. Many ice race cars were anything but stock.
