Just a few that caught my eye this week. Or, rather, were caught by my camera.

Hadn’t seen this one before. In good shape.

An old Ford Courier, and it’s had some work done. Saw this one on my run this morning, and shopping took me back by it this afternoon, luckily.

RHD, even.

Stay safe, wash your hands, and if your grocery store has “one way” signs in the aisles, how ‘bout doing that?

My first car, a ‘76. Not really an SS. This car still pops up in a dream once in a while.

That Nova gives me memories of a guy who put a built 400 and a 4-speed in one. He drove it in exactly the heavy footed way you might expect.

Mine was a straight-six three-speed manual. I had the chance to switch to a four-speed, but youth and dumbness and I didn’t. Would have made a yuuuge  difference.

Another guy I was friends with had a 6-cyl with the auto trans. It was, less exciting.

I'm really digging that Nova.

Heh, my dad’s first car was a ‘76 as well. 305 automatic.

that last pic, that “Toyota” is a Daihatsu Rocky.

This is a diesel J70, I believe - there are a few of these RHD rigs in the Seattle area. Is this really the same platform as the Rocky?

lights are wrong for it to be a LC70 / Bundera. (blue top is Daihatsu Rocky, btm b/w is Landcruiser/Bundera)

Good catch on the signal lights. Now I’d like to know why there’s a Toyota badge on the grill.

Possibly a rebadge for jap market as Toyota are the parent company of Daihatsu
