It’s Different Since It’s a Desert Car

The ten years this Riviera was parked should not concern you since it is a desert car. You know, because of the dry heat. Even in the desert,  a tree can be found to tuck a car under.

This car needs to roll. Can’t you just see it? The fins demand it, danggit!

What do you suspect is this baby's MPG?

You are welcome, by the way, for avoiding any “harbor”; “pier” or “boat” jokes due to the girth of the featured beauty and surrounding cars.

Isn’t it great when the junked vehicles are sorted? These Volvos found each other in retirement and have been together ever since.

Alphabetical Arrangement?

However, please note the sta-wag did not avoid becoming a storage unit.  There is a country style breakfast nook table missing its fourth chair somewhere out there.



Potentially Safe at this Speed

Just joking on the title of this post. Corvairs got a bum rap… no need to email “corrections” -slash- hate mail.  Greenbriers are particularly cool and a lot of folks don’t even think of this functional van when they recall the ‘Vair.

When I say air cooled, I am not referring to the great outdoors.

"Air cooled" usually does not refer to the great outdoors.

The lamps and the grill look good to go for a restoration project, though.



One Man’s Minivan is Another Man’s Storage Shed

A rarity in the Ran When Parked world, check out this shiny-ish mininvan! On the surface, this vehicle could probably loose the RWP stigma pretty easily and sell for more than the $425 asking price [even with the disclosed need of a $400 timing belt.] Ah, but no.

"Mom! She's touching me!!"

I can see it pulling up to soccer practice already

Instead, seller admits that what appears to the untrained eye to be a passenger wagon is in fact a storage unit. In the front yard.  Citing a need to clear the yard before the seasons change as the reason to part ways,

“We currently use it as storage… but can be cleaned out and the seat put back in.”
