I liked it until it started being a lowrider, and now I hate it

Does it help if I tell you that you can hear it from across town, and it sounds like a jet turbine?

I recall a time when diesel conversions of large, thirsty cars were a thing.

Not any more, because fwd and because larger cars here are all diesel to start with.

Yeah, all that bouncing got to me as well ... here’s a palate cleanser, a car we saw at the Tokyo Toyota Motor Museum:

I doubt it’s any less thirsty, it has an engine typically found in something like this:

Yes, and it also helps that it’s not on dayton 100 spokes,

“Stealth” lowrider.

Quite likely. I live in an almost Cummins free part of the world (at least as far as road vehicles are concerned) so conversions used to be something like a Peugeot 404/504 unit. No discernable performance but usually economical.

Considering the 5.9 12V could get mid 20's in a heavier pickup, I’m sure it gets better than the probable single digits this Caddy got from the factory.

Shit is that post office square? I’m in the public garden

I was at the Harbor View hotel. Over on the Vineyard.

Ok, so I think this is awesome. Not a big fan of the rust look, but still very cool.

I honestly think that’s a natural patina. It didn’t look like it could have been faked.

That white arc thing in the background looks like post office square in Boston. I was starting to head over there but you ruined it. Y couldn’t u be in post office square

No, just the garden of a five star hotel.

Probably mid twenties actually. That engine in one of these returned nearly that.

Lame lol. We were going to head over if that was Boston. We just road the swan boats

I think you’re right. Doesn’t look like it has any clearcoat over it, either. I know if it’s purposely rusted sometimes they will clearcoat over it, which isn’t too bad depending on what it is.

I think this was just a car that was too trashed to restore so they just did whatever to it.

I mean, there’s only so much rust you can repair and finding new body panels for a sixty year old car is gonna get expensive fast.

12V never did. I can get nearly 20 out of our 6.7 3500 though. As long as it’s unloaded.

Really? I thought the emissions peripherals killed the newer engines’ fuel economy?

It did a bit, but you still can get decent out of them.
