Exploring canyons, creeks, cars and bars

We'll start with the cars. This Plymouth is for sale.



This Dodge is not.



I'm sure this is quite a rare beast, as in 1957 Chevrolet Cameo pickups with a NAPCO 4x4 conversion were like hen's teeth. Heck, as rare as Hen's Wisdom teeth!



FYI - This very lovely truck in like-new condition sold recently for $75,000



Then we came to Bill's corner, with El Camino waiting for him to come get it for restoration...





same guy had a Pontiac Firebird too. And two Ford pickups and something under a cover. It was that kind of neighborhood.



Ending with Mike's choice, the Corvair Greenbriar Van



FYI - my Rampside (shown below) which is the pickup cousin on the Greenbriar was sold (not by me) on Bring a Trailer for $15,000. I bought it for $400.


Herein ends the old car spotting theme, and we see C Me Out 2 go blasting by in his C8. We put the pedal down and headed for the canyons.



Please join us for part 2 of today's adventure.

We went for a quick walk at a private pond hidden in a private community. We entered with impunity. But not immunity, so we kept it a short visit. We had a nice conversation with a goldfish on steroids. But we had no food for him. He said, Burp, bloop, sp...  

LoL....

We had come to a deadend street which offered us a chance to enter a vacant lot between 2 houses. Maybe the empty lot was the result of a house falling off... yikes! The grass was very slippery. Looking down. Looking West at the road to La Jolla South tow...  

Thanks for the support

It gives us encouragement to continue! Mike

I always find it interesting when I see cars people wanting to restore...

I grew up back in the day of 50s 60s and 70s and many of the cars I see today that people are restoring were NEVER considered "classics" but were merely family cars. I had a 46 Pontiac, a 57 Pontiac Hearse, a 68 Charger (like the one in Bullitt) a 75 Mont... 

Taste in vehicles certainly varies

From family to family and region to region. We need thing is for certain - most people with an older car have more than one (I suppose the same thing applies to 🐈‍⬛ cats).
