Hmm... im not sure about this

I do like a pickup (I have 4 of them ), but this just looks wrong to me! Would have been a much nicer van.

 

But considering it was done years ago I guess it would be classed as "period" now ?!?

The Alperton dealer they mention would have been Godfrey Davis back then.

I've seen a few escort pick ups now, usually from vans rather than estates though I think I've seen one of the latter too. They look ok and there was a time back in the 70s and early 80s when Pick ups were the in thing but I prefer the vans myself.

 

Here's are a few more for instance

Each to their own I suppose. Not my cup of tea though. Funnily enough I saw a mustang GT 350........pick-up at Goodwood Revival yesterday. Very odd

Do you know what's even funnier lol.

 

The Mustang belongs to a friend of mine, its in the care of Bill Shepherd at the moment as he is trying to sell it for my mate (hence why it was at Goodwood ).

 

Its an original "66 Beverley Hills Mustero" (Mustang/Ranchero) built under licence from Ford

This is one of only a few that ever got built apparently! Mick totally restored it with a Trans Am Racing stroker 331 which produced 463hp on the dyno at Shelby works

 

Its up for £60k if your interested? He is open to offers lol

You can buy my Chevy S10 for £4k if you want, it just needs slamming (and it come from the same guy who owns the Mustang lol  )

Lol. I would but will have to sell the Granny 1st! I just need a pick up in my life right now.
