I had a '72 LUV sleeper with a Buick Turbo 3.8, T-10 4 speed and 12 bolt posi rear end. The most fun I ever had on four wheels. It handled like hell but in a straight line most muscle cars were fresh meat.
Thank you for introducing me to yet another cooler than cool hoon.
This is 100 kinds of awesome and if I'd have been the guy in the other truck--and heard that rumble + the train horn, I would have just backed on out of there.
The dog looks happy too--"Yeah, yeah. That's my guy. this is my truck. We cool."
I'm excited about the Alameda Dream Snooze (as opposed to the Woodward (now defunct) Cruise).
I'm looking at you Murilee, (unless I drop that RX-7 motor in the Prius without my wife noticing,, which, I bet she would,, you know,, cause of the screaming).
Someone tried to do this to our truck back twenty years ago - the previous owner told us the kids he bought it from in lieu of back rent used to drag it.
Of course, that also means we keep uncovering dumb go-fast stuff. Like a the cowling attached with screws.
All kinds of awesome. This thing would have duped me for sure. The license plate is a bit of a failing though-an old, rusted farm license would be even better.
