Here's a sweet Toronado for ya'.

In, of all places, Iran.

[onef]

Wow, looks like it could be any place in the U.S.

[kellynla]

Well since we're all being so neighborly and all American loving, tell us,
when are you going to have a revolution in Iran?
Don't you think it's about time to "take out the trash?"

and btw, you guys reeeeeely don't expect anyone to believe that those nuclear plants you want are for electricity now do ya? LMAO

Finally, what's the chances of a white Catholic going to Mass on Sunday there...
and leaving in one piece? hmmmmmmm

Semper Fi,

Under all this politcal crap, we're all pretty much the same.

[John Robertson]

Uh...how did these cars get there?

Bought through ebay?

Bought through shipping agents?

Or stolen off American streets and sold at a premium in the overseas market?

Yo, show me your VINs!

Except for that murdering Mohammadan death cult. Crusades 2.0 will fix that, eventually.

Nice Toronado

Wait til Castro dies and the commie gubmit there falls. All the cars are pre '59 American iron.The collector stampede to the island will cause a tsunami in the Caribbean!

[TBall]

I enjoyed reading your profile. Cool stuff.

[Alas Babylon!]

Up until 1979, when they desposed th Shah, Iran was an American ally, that imported tons of American cars. Middle Easterners have always had a fancy to big and stylish cars over the European/Japanese small and flashy autos.

If only we could turn back the hands of time and support our ally, the Shah, there'd be a lot more people alive in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, etc, etc. today. The Islamic fundementalist movement that started in the Ayatollah's revolution has been a real killer and rights abuser.

Well I guess our little Iranian friend must not have liked my questions...LOL

So much for "God Bless America" and "Made in USA" Detroit Iron! LOL

now back to your regularly scheduled programing...

I knew someone who wnet their on business for their British bosses. He examined a lot of the old Packard, Hudsons, Buicks and the like and found them badly maintained, jury rigged, and sad. he did find a prine Harley pna head engine but it was used as a water pump for irigation.

You have a fascinating home page, and I learned a great deal from it. Beautiful pictures. Thank you. (By the way, most of us don't like former President Carter much, either.)

Years ago when the Trans Ams and Firebirds took on the new style (late 70's/early 80's as pictured above), ALL the Arab students whose countries were paying for their college, room, board, etc. at Embry Riddle drove those cars. Had to be at least a dozen or more there which was allot for a small school. As far as I know, the students took them home with them afterwards.

[Darksheare]

Cool.


These are in Iran?
Weird..

[Darksheare]

Any 69 Chevy Chevelles there?
