Some interesting toys to look at. Even a Rock Crawler with a V-8 ! The Fiat is exactly like the one I had. The eerie part is that it's the same color and has the same Abarth headers on it. Had a lot of fun in that little car. Drove it down the Baja Peninsula, across the gulf of Calif on a boat, drove to Acapulco and back up to San Diego in 1963. Dirt roads most of the way.

Very cool. Not sure who the rock crawler thinks he's fooling but that vehicle isn't street legal.
You Noticed ! ha ha.............bruce
Love the Ford Cabover!

Of course. I spent 19 years working OHV so those things stand out. LOL
OHV = Over Head Valves?
Sorry……. Couldn’t come up with something more intelligent for the letters from a Bahsten guy.

Off Highway Vehicle Team. After working my normal 40+ hours per week (which was usually closer to 60) I would work on my days off riding dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or in our agency's Polaris RZR side by side patrolling the off-road recreation areas.
You can plate them here. IIRC, only legal on roads with <50mph speed limits. You see them on the road all the time.
Rick....Me Too ! That old Ford Cabover with an aluminum Jan-Mar sliding tilt bed to carry my Spyder around on for long hauls would be fun................Bruce

Absolutely!
Bruce, thanks for sharing those cool pics. I'm totally digging on that Ford cabover!

Agreed. Add A/C to the cab and I'm IN. Power it with a nice large turbodiesel and EAT UP the interstates! That would be a great way to get a Spyder to the left coast and back.
I think I'd want to add power brakes and steering to Danny's recipe, but I'm with you on the cool factor.
early rodders!...that's a great gathering each saturday morning....lots of awesome cars every week...there is a guy there that owns 12 REAL DEAL SHELBY COBRAS....well worth cking out if close by
JNC...........There's usually several Cobras there but this time I didn't see any.....Hmmmm. My friend Steve Fox had his 356 cabriolet there this time. It's the silver one with the red interior. I think he has 3. An "A", "B" and a "C". He drives all of them on weekends in rotation. There's always a nice spread of different cars at this gathering, it's not big and there's enough change in who comes to make it interesting.....Bruce
