seriously envious of how cheap fuel is in the US & how great some of the old classic cars.....i'd would LOVE one of these babies, perfect engine, bench seat & shagged out paintwork

Gas is $3.29 per gallon here, how much is it there?

With the small amount of miles (I assume) you're going to put on it I think the price of gas would be the least of your worries.

roughly 3x what you're paying at the moment a gallon (give or take)

couldn't have it sat outside & not drive it, wouldn't be right

At least you wouldn't have to worry about door dings!

Vetteman · 8 October 2011, 12:58 AM

rat rods look like fun right?

gwalker · 8 October 2011, 01:32 AM

I guess you like that so called "patina" on old watches too. I like my stuff new and shiny looking good. Looks like it needs a $50k rest job to me...

Between $8 and $9.

Fuel in the USA is not that cheap anymore.....

. When I was living there back in the early '00s 20 bucks of mid grade stuff in my PT Cruiser used to get me a long way. Now when I vacation there I make myself sure to book an hybrid all the time,that's the only way to go if you want to stretch that mileage a bit.
Cool oldies car anyway, I wish I could have a Chevy El Camino,any year.Not that old but getting there quick

One of my MC brothers is selling a 65 GMC pickup....but it's no rat-rod.

Cato · 9 October 2011, 08:30 AM

It's always interesting when Brits comment on how cheap gas is here in the USA. We think it's expensive since most of us can remember when it was under $1 a gallon as late as the 1990s.

Isn't gas under $1 in places like South America and the Persian Gulf?

Well she's not a beauty but thanks for saying so.

She's currently all apart and will get the mild modernization with new engine, trans and rear axle.

Bill, that truck is a beauty.

Hey, Chad - I totally understand the attraction. How cool you would look driving around the UK in that truck! I believe that's a Ford Falcon Ranchero sitting right behind it.

And one more opportunity to wear out you guys with another pic... also a Ford Falcon.
