61 Ventura and a 65 Biscayne. My second favorite Pontiac and my first favorite Chevrolet....

I "WANT" The Ventura.......I want it. Is it a stick car......

Not sure if it was a three pedal car. My Grandsons feet had gone numb at that point of the hike so we were pretty much just strolling through the last section of cars.

There were so many nice cars down there but the 1st gen Camaros, 1968 and up Chevelles were everywhere especially the red with black stripes Chevelle.

I'm partial to the first gen Chevelle and Malibu.

Trucks are are starting to make a comeback.

Gotta love old cars.... Just got rid of our 67 mustang project last week. Owners son was driving it back to Detroit and it developed a "knock", sounded top end from what was described. Crate engine, go figure. New means different, doesn't always mean good... He just had to have that engine, would not listen to us about building one instead... Now Rusty gets to go play fetch one day this week...

I don't want another A body. If I were to get another car, it'd be a B body. Something for cruising and road trips.

Ready for tomorrow. Bringing back our mustang wth an engine noise up in Detroit, then headed back out to pick up a '34 Ford pickup. Can you believe they trust me with this thing!? Handed me the keys to a brand new RAM. Been awhile since I've pulled with a diesel. I'm looking forward to it.

So you're looking for a driver? You would have to get me a different truck.

Have any of you driven the new 1/2 Dodge with the ecodiesel?

I drove a customer's with a 20ft (?) enclosed trailer on the road, normally I just get to drive around the building.
For what it is and was pulling it had decent power.
(No, I didn't hot rod it or anything like that, the trailer was having brake problems and I needed to take it up to speed)

 

[RustyHornet]

I've not driven one of those. I really like the concept. I normally haul with a v10 Ford, that's a dog. Hate it. Used a 5.9 Cummins a few times, it was ok. I honestly think my favorite was a 5.7 HEMI 2500. Loved the powerband of that one.

 

[Bigtanker]

That new Cummins will put that trailer at 90 MPH+ with ease. 900 ft/lbs of torque.

Yep. 6.7 is a lot of cubes for a straight 6.

 

[long coat]

The way the ecodiesel handled the trailer, I bet the truck would fly without it.

 

[RustyHornet]

I'm looking forward to testing it out.

 

[Bigtanker]

Yep. 6.7 is a lot of cubes for a straight 6.

My truck has a 15 liter (900+ C.I.) I-6 with 1900 ft/lbs of torque.
