Anyone also into vintage cars?

The valiant looks good with the front low!! what about the back?!
The front is currently as low as it will go on the stock torsions and the back is still up in the air. I need to close off the cowl and weld in some floor pans before putting the rear on the ground. It already throws sparks when I hit anything bigger than a reflector on the road.
 
Crappy celly pics, but does this count?

31 dodge sedan body, complete custom frame with 14" Z'ed rear end. Full air ride suspension. '95 Camaro 350 with swapped intake running Holley double pumpers (single 4bbl in pic). '71 chevy rear end. Front frame section off of a 89 mazda b2200. Custom grille. Not done. Munster Mobile 8)

Thanks, I can't wait to see it finished either. ;D I'll definately get some pics once I get it evened out and then once I get the paint job I want done, unfortunately it won't be very soon though.

I have a 1962 Karmann Ghia. It's pretty rusty, but I have all the metal to make it well again. It's in my dad's shop right now, and on the back burner until I get my bike done, and my dad gets his 72 bug done.

The day I got it home.

Ghia on hold for a super beetle? ??? Heresy!
They made standard Beetles in 72. Id still get down on that Ghia first though! I have some N.O.S. Ghia shocks in the parts bin I believe. They were bought for a 57'.

No! It's on hold for my CB400F, and lack of time to work on it. I have the bike's engine at my house, but the car is at my dad's shop 40 miles away. The shop is plenty big enough for me to get done what I need to while my dad's (standard) bug is in it. I also have a 74 Super that was my daily driver for that last three years, but it's getting sold as soon as I get around to it.
 
My mistake on the Super vs. Standard beetle. I've never been a fan of any of the big window bugs, so my cut off year is 64. But I'd love to get a Ghia.
 
I got a few vintage rides... most which don't run at the moment:
'64 Olds Cutlass, '69 Camaro SS350, '54 Chevy 3100 P/U, '80 BMW 320iS, '77 BMW 320i, '77 Corvette, '64 Buick Wildcat, '84 BMW 325e

Ones I sold:
'65 Buick Skylark convertible, '80 Triumph TR7 roadster, '65 Buick Special, '69 Camaro 307, '69 Camaro SS396, '66 Beetle, '68 Camaro SS350, '70 Monte Carlo, '85 BMW 735i euro
 
If you going to own a garage full of British bikes like I do, you have to have a van for retrieving your bike after a nice ride. I own a '67 Dodge A108 the long version of the A100. Very ugly condition but essential for the collection.
 
I love vintage anything! Especially if its an import lol! I have a 1975 BMW 2002 that is on the backburner currently. Modded w. dual 45dcoe's, 9.5:1 pistons, 292 degree cam and a bunch of suspension work done so far. Body work is holding me back.

Thanx for looking!
 
I LOVE THE 2002s! Theres a guy in Pittsburgh I see around every so often that has a full race prepped yellow one. It is BADASS! He drives it every day. Every year theres a vintage grand prix race, and they have a BMW only class. A bunch of 2002s going head to head through a city park. Its amazing man.
 
Here are two of my toys. The car is a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite and the Truck is a 1991 VW Transporter. I restored them both.

The truck has a new owner but I still terrorize the neighbours with the Sprite.
