Have you been over to Bring A Trailer lately? Good stuff showing up there

 the seller wants 25 thou for this 1973 Ford XB Falcon

This '68 Mangusta is a 42000 mile original the ebay listing states, but has been stored a real long time. Makes me think it wasn't a good car, because someone wasted a lot of money and then never got their money's worth. I smell a rolled back odometer.

Well, you will enjoy his writing more, and his photos just as much, and for a great description by one who's been there, let me turn you over to John at http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2008/08/eye-candy-at-turkey-rod-run.html

Cool light green, wonder what it started as? Early 50 shoebox Ford? I was close! It's a 49 Aussie Ford Ute... Thanks to Dan for knowing right where to get the story... in Mike Kelly’s Cruise News, author Ken Caskey of Kidd Darrin’s Restorations & Custom Built Cars in Melbourne, Florida spotlighted the Ford Ute. http://www.cruisenewsonline.com/49FordUteAustralianUtility/49FordUteAustralianUtilityFeature.html
Hot rodded Chrysler Airflow or Airstream!
Ummm, Opel? Alfa? Nope... Dan got this one too! First the Ute then this one! Man's on a roll... this is a Saab 96... for a photo of a stock one to compare it with http://www.saabhistory.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/saab_96_rac_front.jpg
