My score this weekend.

I know it's off topic but I have to share.

A one owner 1973 Datsun 620 custom with a California stepside bed. 42,500 OG miles and the guy yanked the 1600 and installed a Buick 231V-6. He never finished it. Heres the best part, it sat in the garage since 1978! A true "Barn Find". It has so much cool stuff and it's all "New" even though its over 30 yers old. This is an example of the roots of minitruckin and the 70's style that I love. Here are some more --Enjoy!

There isn't enough Crisco made that could wedge me into that tiny matchbox, but hope it's fun for you!
