the El Cajon cruise on every Wednesday night is back on for the summer, here are some of the interesting things I saw

Everytime I see the El Guapo taxi I notice something new, this time I found the rear license plate cool... for the galleries I took of it last year so you can see the interior and the progession : http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/another-look-at-el-guapo-paint-has-been.html

Josh rescued this Lincoln from a boring uninteresting looking life

Josh has the pledge guarding the car. (somebody has to keep the kids from leaving fingerprints! I bet the pledge is walking home if he lets anything happen to the car)

Nice smoked taillight lenses

original owner still drives his 1973 Javelin

Repainted once, vinyl top removed and painted white to match the side stripe, it's on it's 3rd power steering pump, 2nd set of back up/brake lights (75 bucks apiece) and 2nd set of rubber bumper guards (75 bucks apiece)

Still has the original hubcaps

When I asked him why he is still driving/owning it, he replied "Nothing wrong with it, why not?!" Damn right, nothing wrong at all with it.

restored 1970 Monaco for sale at $6500, with 440, power brakes (front disc) 727 auto trans,

You can see it has the hard to find rims too

See an extensive gallery at http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/04/old-town-cancer-fundraiser.html

Email him at neilrowe@cox.net if you want to buy it. It's worth more in parts than as a 4 door car that not many people have interest in in my persepctive, but it's a sure entry into car cruises, car shows, Mopar events, and able to bring the whole family with you in 1970 comfort.

Power windows, power brakes, less than 10,000 miles on the rebuilt engine and trans (it's a car cruise and car show only car) cruise control, AM FM stereo cassette, HP exhaust manifolds, 4 barrel carb, comes with all the paperwork and brochures you expect with a show car. See the link to check it all out http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/04/old-town-cancer-fundraiser.html

here's another eye magnet roadster from the Del Mar Goodguys

Right about here you see it has Elco Twin two spark plugs per cylinder heads, which were flathead trick pieces. The distributors for these were possibly gotten from early Nash or Cord v16 engines, I recall hearing something like that a couple years ago.

Notice the rare Veda Spec knock offs, probably the reporductions.

Beautiful wood work in the back deck, and laced up boots around the shifter and pedals
