Saw this at lunch today.   1975 Jeep CJ6      Something like 20" longer than CJ5

The painted detail was what caught my eye.

What's wrong with the hood?  Normally they were all rusted out there.

I've never seen a CJ6 in person and even rarely see them online.

Springfield, Oregon.  Car may have had a Washington plate.  I don't recall.  Oregon is a front-plate state, and only the very rich and very poor refuse to comply.

We may have to define "normally".  We do not use road salt.  Nothing rusts here unless it is genuinely ancient or patently abused.  Tacoma frames last indefinitely.  Fasteners spin out with contemptuous ease.  Even my J20 is rust-free.  So is my AW11.

Maybe we should set up an OR-OH shuttle and start exporting some nice dry cars...

In reply to DarkMonohue :

 

Heh.  A friend got transferred out to Idaho and he bought a rust free IH Scout just because he could.  It had the Nissan Diesel engine.

 

Now there's a unicorn.

In reply to DarkMonohue :

Hmm, it's possible that it's the same car, but unlikely. Is it possible there are TWO silver Saab/Chevy/GMC SUV s in great shape still in existence? 

I've spent a lot of time for work in Springfield, that's a nice area!

So recently someone said they never saw a Europa actually being piloted.

 

Saw this today while leaving work.

 

 

Pretty sure they saw me back up and take the shot, too.

 

Actually.  Wait a moment...  that's Sofa King​​'s LS powered Europa!

I know they made a billion of them but I love seeing a DD clean lil C70. Parked beside him, and there was 977cc difference between the two.

I saw an orange AMX in a doctors office lot this morning in Palmer/Easton 18045. Partly behind a bush, but I couldn't miss the shortness and the black fender stripe. Very shiny orange.

Home from a very brief trip, saw a 1970 Camaro, looked showroom stock and spotless with "old lady"at wheel, and around the corner was someone driving an old english white Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 top down, another good looking car. All within a few miles of home on a perfect sports car day.

No pic because it was sudden, but I saw a Rabbit diesel pickup with a white topper. Then I noticed the black cloud appearing behind it. It's been decades since I've seen one of those.

Yes, it was holding up traffic.

I did some tuning on, and drove the unicorn on the photo, MGA Twin Cam LHD Coupe, 92 produced. On the way home from my customer's everyone was out, I passed a running very clean Porsche 356C coupe in Doylestown, a top down Toyota Sunchaser Celica in Plumbstead, and a parked pale lavender Alfa Romeo Giulia GTV in Pipersville, thankfully only saw the rear, but thus don't know what year.

The may not ne unicorns where you live, but they sure are here.

Oh hell yes perfect ones are unicorns where I am. They sold millions here, and millions rusted rapidly too.

There were 2.8million XJs built! XJs are funny with how regional they have become. Where I live in the summer they're everywhere, both locally owned and vacationers. Where I lived the past 7 winters in Tahoe, there were like two total. We also have a high proportion of LJs here.
