WHY????

thecatseye66 · 07-18-2005, 07:38 PM

Man, I hear ya!
For years we had this 69 Camaro with a 1/2 ton 4x4 suspension floating around town with a For Sale sign in the window. It went from parking lot to parking lot and all I could think of when I saw it was, "WHY?"

got a bright orange 72 nova in my area

demi · 07-18-2005, 08:31 PM

I remember in the mid to late 80's when that was popular and seeing many cars like that. Hell that's when you could buy a convertible 67 chevelle for $3500 and many more for dirt cheap. When I bought my 56 belair sport coupe ($1,000 in 1987), my buddies were constantly trying to get me to do that. No Way!

hamrhed · 07-18-2005, 08:50 PM

there were a pair of brothers that ouned a shob back ware im from and they would always have some frankenstine 4x4 i always wanted to do that to a mid 90's lincoln town car

edmonton72 · 07-18-2005, 08:50 PM

I have heard of this being done with El Caminoes. An old neighbor of my dad's did that to his and my dad believes that the guy stole the driveshaft off his ford for it.

72shadetree · 07-18-2005, 08:55 PM

i like it i used to have a 64 ss impala riding on 38s years ago.some like them low and some like it high.no different from cutting lwb to swb on trucks.

about 8 years ago i seen 3 71s and 2 72s chevelles go to the crusher.wish id had the $500 to save them.guy tried to sell them for along time

JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH

modifiedGMC · 07-18-2005, 09:03 PM

It's something different I guess. I got a 86 Iroc parts car if I had the chassis and a title it would be "walking tall".

**68350** · 07-18-2005, 09:05 PM

there was a guy in my town that did that to a 66 chevelle ss396. he tries to sell if for like $5500

68Stepbed · 07-18-2005, 10:32 PM

Used to be a 68 ElCamino around here like that.

Some people just need to be shot.

TruckinDaddy · 07-18-2005, 10:54 PM

There was a Delorean rolling on 38s, around Austin, Texas for years. I haven't seen it in a while, maybe I should drive down and look for it again.

jay6891 · 07-19-2005, 09:04 AM

A buddy of mine's dad did that to a 70 model Mach 1. Put it on a bronco frame. Had a 428 cobra jet and 4 speed. I asked him why and he said it was all just lying around and he wanted to go to the Canadian River. He was a F@rd man from way back and he had some of the rarest stuff I have ever seen.

Iceman7642 · 07-19-2005, 11:10 AM

Right now my dream car is a 1970 chevelle ss with a 454 which is what i first posted and it just hurt me inside and and...

id love to get a hold of one and rip it apart...but not a 4x4

Long Roof · 07-19-2005, 07:13 PM

I have seen a 71 Elky on a 4x4 frame running around this area. I don't mind the looks. Got to admit I don't see them everyday like my wifes 98 Tahoe (dime a dozen).

This is the precise reason I have my 70 Burb. There is not another around and I like to be different.
