Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
Here we are again guys! The weather was forecasted to be primo today so we loaded up in the 54 for our longest trip in it to date. The Grand Rod Run was this weekend and is usually THE place to be if you want to see thousands of cars and trucks scattered about. Let's move on to some pics!!
Double jeopardy/controversy here guys... a chopped top and a late model bed! ( Yep, That's Christy's 54 back behind it)  Can't get away from em can we...??      This joker has some tremendously wide rear tires...apparently they didn't photograph well.   This one was a Big Block A/C buckets Super Cheyenne...I think the price was 35K or so.

I think the truck is this one...... Toomanytoyz pointed it out. I know what he is thinking. Has to be this one. Has the same wheels and interior. Has some paint added to the top now. Linky Quote:

Quote:
The Rod Run weekends are known for having highly inflated prices.You have to look at it like this. Either they're selling something that they've got very little in trying to make some money...Or they're tired of it and want to move on to something else...Then there's the minority that are genuinely in a bind and turning loose their pickup in order to make ends meet somewhere else. I DEFINITLY have no pity for the first two...The guys in the other category...at least they've got something of value that someone else desires, otherwise they'd be even worse off. I'm happy that they're smart enough to turn loose of an old truck that they're probably not driving and don't need instead of loosing they're home or business. Besides, very few of us on this forum would have a truck to work on if it wasn't for someone else deciding that they didn't want it anymore! I'm not sure but I would bet that the number of one owner/original purchaser members here are very low.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
This is just too cool
It's a shame you don't have any more pics of the ex. cab! It looks to have been really well done.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
looks like the 57 runs, but that appears to be a mock-up block and probably has an air-cooled engine underneath. just going by the fact that theres no water pump bosses cast into it. would be a hell of a ride if it was a sbc.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
Thanks guys!
I've seen ride on scooters like this before that have briggs engines (or something similar) hidden under the body. I'm pretty sure that this one had one of those "mock up" blocks like you see in the parts stores with all the chrome goodies on it. You'll also notice that there is no distributor. The wires just run from one side of the dummy block to the other. It was difficult to get a clear shot of it with all the people crowding around it. As far as it not being a show...You're correct! None of these were taken on the show grounds. There are thousands of cars and trucks that just come up to cruise the strip. People know that there are going to be a lot of guys wandering around with car/truck fever due to seeing all of these old vehicles that they wish they could call their own so they slap a "For Sale" sign on em. Most of them aren't really for sale. They've got "Dream Prices" on them. On the other hand, if you're a motivated seller and have got your ride priced to sell, this is the place to make it happen. I've heard rumors of suitcases of cash changing hands at this event, but I've never seen it. One of my first trips I made to this show I did watch two guys negotiating a trade on a couple of Pro-street cars, the trailers they were hauled in on and the tow rigs. I've got a buddy that drove his 70-73 RS Camaro up there and plopped a for sale sign on it and the car was sold in less then ten minutes. He priced it for more then what he had in it but apparently it was still to cheap. He says now that he should have just pulled the sign and told the guys that were argueing about which one of em saw it first that it was no longer for sale....Then get in it and drive down the strip find a new parking spot and mark it up! I've got another friend that bought a kit/custom bike that was covered with chrome and billet for less then what the engine would have cost him to replace...the bike had 300 miles on it. Deals do happen at this show. I guess you've just gotta be at the right place at the right time. |
