RyM3rC Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm not clicking on that, but there's been a bunch of retarded little vw bug pickups on craigslist recently. Like, with the engine in the back and no usable bed at all. Because the engine is back there. LOL at paying $10k for one of those things. Now you don't have to be in this thread all by yourself.

2 Sweet Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I want one of these. Not as rare as the trucks in the link above, but it's a bad ass truck... http://trueautosite.com/wp-content/uploads/images/gmc-syclone_2935.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Only a few clicks in and I agree. Will read the rest. Had to stop to say, "SAY CAR RAM ROD! SAY CAR RAM ROD!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Finished. Would drive any of them. Would definitely like any of those pre-90s. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I didn't scroll through the bullshit slide show but I used to have a 1990 Silverado 454ss. I think those are pretty rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharris89 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I like that names. With all the PC BS nowadays they would never be able to have some of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah the names are totally part of the charm. Who knows, maybe those new Silverado editions that are currently out would make a list like that someday. Then again they are probably making them in much higher numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 In addition to the lil' red express and the midnight express there was the dodge warlock: http://i0.wp.com/hooniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Fullscreen-capture-952013-75254-PM.bmp.jpg?resize=720%2C412 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I like that names. With all the PC BS nowadays they would never be able to have some of those. Oh yeah? Which ones? Other than Honcho I don't really see anything that would be offensive. unpopular sure, but offensive? Not really. By the way if you thought the Indy widebody GM was cool the 1980 gmc Indy hauler is slightly cooler because screaming chickens make everything cooler: http://s3.amazonaws.com/happydaysbucket/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/17781.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I want one of these. Not as rare as the trucks in the link above, but it's a bad ass truck... http://trueautosite.com/wp-content/uploads/images/gmc-syclone_2935.jpg They are out there and worth the purchase, but good luck finding one that's not been raped pillaged and modified throughout its life. There aren't likely more than 900 left in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 what no Shelby Dakota? http://www.turbododge.com/forums/attachments/cars-sale/41335d1306190299-1989-dodge-shelby-dakota-10-900-dsc04836.jpg they also made them as a convertible.

RyM3rC Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 There's what may be a Skyranger? or lesser conversion on North st. in short north area. Some goofy lookin ranger with a convertible looking top, I've seen it parked there but never really took a good look aside from "wtf is that abomination?"

zeitgeist57 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Kerry, no shit...you could make a lot of money compiling your obscure car knowledge into clickbait websites...

Geeto67 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Kerry, no shit...you could make a lot of money compiling your obscure car knowledge into clickbait websites... "Top 10 Japanese Motorcycles in the 70s...NUMBER 6 WILL BLOW YOUR MIND" "What Shirley Muldowney and Linda Vaughn did at racetracks WILL SHOCK YOU." I'm not even trying. We didn't even talk about the "diablo" el caminos or the macho power wagon and macho ramcharger (yes macho is part of the name like the macho trans ams that came in the late 70's). Here is a fun fact the truck special editions really kind of started with Chevrolet when they started offering wild vinyl sticker kits for their trucks that the dealers could install. Feathers, flames, eagles, you name it. From there it kind of grew. http://oldcaradvertising.com/GM%20Trucks/1972/1972%20Chevrolet%20Truck%20Ad-01a.jpg http://www.oldcaradvertising.com/GM%20Trucks/1972/1972%20Chevrolet%20Truck%20Ad-01b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Did they really use "indianish" in the ad copy? :lol: Aahh...those were the days [/archie bunker] They also used "heady Paraphernalia", "Your dealer can help you get the stuff" and "Far out". It reads like ad copy written by a bunch of middle age gin soaked out of touch men who basically said "the way to reach youth culture is to make it sounds like we are selling them drugs because it's the 70's and drugs are hip." http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/post-10661-0-23437100-1414279644.jpg since we are talking about interesting trucks, GMC and Chevy tried "Luxury Trucks" in the 1970's too with the Gentleman Jim (named after the movie), the Beau James, and the Amarillo GT Cowboy Cadillac. It was GM's attempt to make a pickup as nice as a Cadillac http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-1200-675/public/1975%20GMC%20Gentleman%20Jim%20Pickup-02-03.jpg?itok=wk1j6cTw http://home.netcom.com/~rvtucker/images/doc13.jpg http://www.73-87.com/Special_Editions/factory_trucks/Amarillo/AmarilloOrder01.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was staring at that ad through a 1hr30min call I just got off of...I now want an Amarillo GT in the worst way. What I really need to do is invent a sticker package for Cleetus.
