I like it.
I thought of you when I saw this:

It's the original REO Speedwagon.
check out the duct tape repair on the rad hose.
I couldn't get a good look at it, but does that look like an original 50's engine?
Yeah JFX, that's about what I want but the car doesn't weigh enough to justify all that truck. I almost made one of these using Raze's $500 El Doradol whacked off at the rear glass.
A chopped Eldo would be cool, but the 5MPG might get kinda old.
The REO is cool and I lived in Lassen County a long time ago.

5 mpg? Really?
What are you searching for to find this stuff?
My wife has been teaching for 28 years and has never belonged to a teachers union. Ain't NOBODY gonna to tell her what to do!.
Yeah, 5 MPG isn't out of line on a 500 Eldo, especially if you had a load like another car on the back. I used to get about 6 or so around town in my 72 CDV with the 472. Downhill with the wind behind it at 55 MPH, I might have got 11 or 12. But it would stay with a brand new 79 Corvette off the line.
Let me get this straight...
The guy who showed up at the Challenge with a chopped VW bus that was so whacked that he didn't even have to run to go home with the trophy for the people's choice award just asked me if he's a nut job?
Is it necessary to answer questions like this??

There are thousands of panel vans for sale on dove bid. With 6.2, 6.5 and 3.9(4bt) diesels..

They were great cars. My dad had a 74 Eldo convertable when we were kids and it would run with almost everything and made a great car for road trips. Lugage for five fit in the trunk, noone had to sit on the hump, and with the top down they could hear us argue.
