Wow, that's quite the Country Cadillac. Even more so if it's got a Cummins!
It had a diesel badge but not a Cummins badge.
pretty sure Cummins powered all the diesel Mopars
No factory diesel before '88 iirc. That's a late 70's
Didn't get a picture, but passed a transport truck with a couple of crash test cars on it close to Indianapolis.
I found this at a auction site near me. It sure is one of a kind.
You don't see these anymore much with no rust.

The beautiful part about mother Mopar is that the '80s Cummins drivetrain will drop right in to one of those.

Those trucks don't exist anymore.
I saw a Honda Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car today, in Minneapolis. I have no idea where they can fuel the thing around here.
No pics but I saw a green Porsche 959 on an open air car hauler on the 407 north of Toronto the other day. Looked real driving by at 130km/h but have some doubts. Transporting a car of that value on a open car hauler! The other cars on it were all appliances!
'95-ish Saab 9000 Aero with just 327,000 miles. Haven't seen one for several years. Claimed to out-accelerate a Testarossa from 50 to 75.

Way back when these were new a high school buddy's dad had one. I have first hand knowledge that that car will easily cruise at 140mph for hours (not in the US). It was fast and comfortable.
These are quite rare... I thought they had all returned to the earth by now. A 2nd-Gen Mercury Tracer wagon, in all its '90s econobox glory.
Brat on the road.
I couldn't get a good pic for the life of me, but I saw a new Jimney in NC on my way to work this morning.
I pulled the timing cover off of a 3 liter High Feature engine and all of the timing marks were lined up.
Because of the way the jackshafts are asynchronous, this happens about once every five million revolutions.
I am curious what the math is on this, now...
Nice first gen Insight at stop light the other day. Always loved these.
New side project at work, a late 50s 4x4 GMC with what appears to be a Pontiac V8. I guess the engine is original, part of the 4x4 package.
Pretty cool.
In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon :
I thought all GMCs of a certain age had Ponchos. Indeed pretty cool to see an original 4x4!
Whenever I go to Gainesville I know I will find at least 1 or 2 unicorns and I should take my phone/camera, but I stupidly don't.
Today I saw a Mazda 2600i extended cab, 4wd truck. The paint was pretty weathered looking, but it was still moving along in traffic. Seeing a Mazda 2200 is pretty rare (though this was the bigger engined 2600), an extended cab? Even rarer. A 4wd? Well...unicorn?
Other vehicle that I saw, and I wish I had had a camera:
A brand new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. What made this van special was that it was jacked up like an off-road vehicle, the battleship grey paint, and something that I didn't remember seeing on a Sprinter before...black front and rear bumpers and hubcaps.
In reply to stuart in mn :
I had seen a Clarity in a mini mall in a very nice area in Jacksonville and wondered the same thing, where do they fuel up? (I actually see it every time I am up there, most recently a week ago.) Then about a month ago I saw another 1 in the same area. At first I thought it was the same car as it was the same silver color. But nope, I saw it while the 1st Clarity was within sight. Then I saw a 3rd one, that one was black. All in the same area.

Oh, how I wish that were true.

They did, from 1955 to 1959. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_V8_engine
Did not know these came with a manual transmission. This one was definitely manual.
