    Great car. We had a '63 Belvedere with the push button slushbox and a rompin' 383. I coveted that car as a teenager. Of course, my stepfather blew the engine to smithereens.

    I really like the meatball welding-freak bumper on the trailer. That's worth the 75 bucks right there. The stickers add class.

    '67 Belvedere 4 door was my first car. Little 273 two barrel and a TorqueFlite. Always ran great but rust was a huge problem-along with shakey brakes. Belvederes used a light weight unibody construction and actually weighted the same as a Valiant of the same year. Still miss that car......

    Good-looking car from the pre-Coke-bottle era. Nice lean lines, airy greenhouse, interesting taper towards the rear. However, the exposed fuel filler cap on the rear fender is a surprisingly cheap-looking touch. Anyone who "salutes the Who" is OK in my book.

    @tonyola: The fuel filler cap placement and appearance depends on taste, I guess. They used to be a featured part of the trim or a simple added touch. This MoPar is just perfect.

    @Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: In fact, the caps were vital parts of the trim. Here's a MoPar--but the over the top designs actually belonged to American Motors, a Rambler and a Hornet.

    @Novaload Wants the Jez 9 Back: An exposed filler looks fine when it implies performance (like on the Challenger and Charger) or emphasizes a car's identity (like the AMCs you show or early Mustangs). However, the filler on the Belvedere looks like a cheapo 99c item that was supposed to save a few bucks. What's telling is that the '67 Dodge Coronet used a hidden filler at the same location.

    That car looks better than when it was new. So much style, and no flashy moves. Except for that color, of course. Glad he stayed within the Pentastar when selecting the proper trailer.

    This is definitely a feature Jeremy Clarkson forgot to add to his Cottage Mercedes Benz.


    Though yes, this Land Rover really needs a french door and a doorbell... and maybe a brass mailbox to complete the look.

    Dear old massachusetts... I reside in worcester when I'm not at school. It's full of these 'ghetto' repairs. I once saw a station wagon with flames painted on it using house paint. It was hilarious, I ran my hand over it and went "no, this can't be real". Then a slab of it fell off and I ran away.

    My house was built in 64 and has the appropriate strange angles on the vents--could be a very edgy grille or dash bit of trim.

    This Rover, though--come on, it's just girly looking, with all those frills and curly bits.

    At least he went with the classiest vents Home Depot has to offer.

    Could have been these:

    @strllng plyr:


    If you actually cut holes in the fenders and screwed those into the Prius I would just die laughing. You could claim they increase MPGs by re-routing the air right to your firewall.

    @strolling player


    Um, it's a Z32. They ALL have cooling problems :)


    And yes, you should've taken the seats.


    I saw a Maserati Biturbo with glorious REAL leather seats in the yard 6-8 months ago. I should have taken those seats.


    There's a 97 SHO at the Wilmington Pick Your Part (1903 E Blinn) with a set of intact grey leather seats... they're awesomely comfortable and not ruined or cut up yet...

    @Plecostomus will never win COTD... but has a ★: Shit, I wanna go to your junkyards. The most "exotic" thing in there was a twin turbo Z32--which also proved to be the most useful thing in there--with that Rover in a close second.

    I actually LOL'ed.


    The vent chosen is formal enough for a Range Rover, to be sure. It almost makes sense, in a fucked up kinda way.
