very rare Rapid Transit System 4 piece poster from 1970, 4 feet by 12 feet total size, the Hemi Cuda



 Jim's price is 5thousand. jimwel69@yahoo.com

regular readers will know that it's rare that I have a thing for sale, because I have nothing to sell. But occassionally someone will ask me if I want to buy something, like in this example, and since I can't afford anything, I ask them if they would rather I post about it, and help out readers who are looking for some cool thing, and that seller who is also a reader (maybe) and by posting it, I help out four people at the same time.

I get a cool thing to post, Jim's wife is happy he sells it, Jim's happy to get money for it, and the new owner scores something that normally you would thing will never be seen outside a millionaires private collection

If you buy it, and don't mind sharing the photo of it in your place of pride, I'd love to post that as an example that sometimes, cool things find new homes. My email is jbohjkl@yahoo.com

If you haven't heard of the Motorator, (Car Collector by GQ) check out the interviews of car collectors he does in their warehouses and garages, astonishing. Here's Jeff Dunham and Bill Goldberg



in which the incredible Jeff Dunham demonstrates how to open a McLaren, as it has no switch, door handle, or soft pad... very cool. He also explains the Mopar musclecar era fender tag screws. Seriously, I'd never learned this thing he shows, before this. How far out is it to be schooled on Mopar trivia during a celeb garage tour?





I've posted about Bill Goldberg's car collection before, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=goldberg  but this is the first video I've seen of the cars in his garage. He brought the lawman to SEMA! http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/lawman-boss-429-mustang-that-al.html

So, my compliments to GQ and the Motorator, they are doing a terrific series of videos on car collections in Southern California, and the Clive Cussler collection in Colorado http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/07/tim-allens-car-collection-from-new-gq.html

2013 LA Roadster show







interesting good looking hood stripes, placing them in line with the headers was a great choice







above, called the Ugly Duckling


something about the grill to radiator surround looked odd and cool to me







interesting reflection similar to a flamejob from the side louvers



Best looking '38 I've seen





Above, and why? No idea. To each their own I suppose


not often you see a Greenbriar (Corvair van)


and the show wasn't strickly Ford and Chevy, above a Desoto, below a Plymouth



cool tailights


just liking the license plate


with the side cowls, but not the top.. looks good, probably better aerodynamics and not very hampering to cooling







this beaut was at Viva Las Vegas as well, here are a couple more shots: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-award-for-most-stunning-paint-at.html


two tone cars were good looking, it's a shame that chrome side molding and multi colored cars is so rare now from the factories
