Re: What was the most unusual car you or your father owned

I think my most unusual was the 1948 CJ2a Jeep Willys, it was a salmon pink with a red/white striped surrey top. I added a roll bar and a little larger set of tires, put the windshield down, the bomber goggles on and a hawaiian shirt and went cruising! :biggrinjester: It was neat! The previous owner made it look like one of the surrey jeeps (that you would see at tropical resorts). I had alot of fun with that rig. Unfortunately, I have no idea where the pix are, it was unique. The looks I got!

My real offroad toy/rockcrawler was a 1989 Jeep YJ called PUCKER, hence, my screen name. If you rode with me, your rear end would "PUCKER" so the name stuck! It has been through different paint schemes, tires sizes (from 30" to 42" then back to my favorites, the 38.5" TSL SX). I got out of the Jeep/wheeling scene a few years ago, into boats, more than ever, now. It had been extremely modified (ie - it ran the Sunray Engineering 609 front end/axle, this is a hybrid 9"/Dana 60/70 front axle), and in it's day, it was the baddest of the bad. Offroad machines have come a long way since then, with tube buggies and such. If I were to start all over I would just go and buy a used competition buggy (from the previous year, you can get them at half price or better).

Here's a nice video of 3 Stage, Clayton, OK (yes, I like to wheelie!!):

My current daily driver is a 2011 Corvette Convertible 6 speed manual, it's a BLAST! My first corvette too.
