Nice. It’s desert-y here so lots of original and restored classic around. A slightly customized/lowered 57 Ranchero is one of my favorites. Some open engine rods and pickups from the 30s-40s too. Saw an unrestored 56 Chevy convertible leaving town on a trailer a while back.

Same here. No bad rust. The vehicles I fixed up and drove for awhile before selling them I wish I had kept were a 72 Grand Torino and a 72 Ranchero. They were the last of the ford muscle cars that were mass produced.

I once raced a corvette 150 miles across the desert in the summer to Vegas with the Torino. 120 outside and at an average of 120 Mph non stop. I beat him to the meeting gas station and was able to pop the radiator cap with almost no pressure. He got towed out because his engine was cooked.

Needless to say, Cuz and I made the concert he did not. :)
