Vintage Daily Driver XX- "Approved" by Legal @vintagedailydriver.bsky.social · Jan 19
Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I just say something because I hope it will put a smile on somebody's face.

Friends, artists, and free thinkers- this VDD Crush is a bit different. I'm really digging this front cut off of a mid 60s Dodge van, and could see the windshield area framing a TV or monitor.

But that seems like the Easy Button. What would you do with it, bsky?

Photo of 1967 Dodge A108 compact van front end cutoff leaning against a wooden pole in a large yard of green grass. The windshield is missing, leaving a large open area, as are the headlights, bumper, and all trim. The front end is sort of a faded seafoam/turquoise with rusty patina on the upper area just below the windshield.

Of all the ... stuff... I have bought over the years, this small, highly flawed, poorly designed, and cheap air fryer might well be the best purchase of the decade. (Tater Tots for scale)

Today's Vintage Daily Driver Crush is a boxy German brute. This Mercedes 407d (The "d" is for "Diesel"!) has plenty of seating for your crew, and a surprisingly usable flatbed. I would build a tiny home on the back, trim my beard into an ironic style, and become a trend following, roving barista.

I have just 3.5 days to sell at least 14 framed pieces, which will give me just enough to have rent. I’ve never been at zero w/ so little time before (being sick all month has been hard enough). I also have these original paintings available at name-your-own-price!

Playing with a few ideas for a semi-custom headliner in the Dodge D100 Shorty. Will do more editing later when I can find a new photo editor that doesn't lock up on me all the time.

Vintage Daily Drive Crush- From the Archives: Captured this 1940 Packard at speed on a local expressway about 4 years ago. It was gorgeous.

Here's an Extra Special Treat today for your VDD Crush. A vintage '50s style sprint car with a 331 early Hemi! I would love to be able to plate this and drive it on the street! $10K is a lot of coin, however, though the wheels might be worth close to 1/2 of that.

The chrome valve cover and part of the cylinder head jut out past the cowl and the exhaust runs straight back to the rear wheel where it jogs upward before continuing rearward all the back of the car. An ancient Firestone ribbed white letter tire can be seen on an even older magnesium dish wheels with 3 bar knockoff spinner. The rear tire is custom grooved.

Today's Vintage Daily Driver Crush (VddC) is my White Whale,even though it is black. It's a short wheelbase windowless 1991 Dodge van, but the real treat is that it has a factory floor shifted 5 speed manual transmission. I would love to have this shiftless $1k Cali treat. (Bad Clutch)

Going a bit older for today's Vintage Daily Driver Crush- The 1940 Ford pickup has a stance that is just right, but that is likely because it is said to have no drivetrain or suspension. It will also need *AII* the glass, or at least the windshield. How would you build it?

"Crude, rusty Borgward powered slingshot dragster" was not on my FB Marketplace Bingo Card for today. What price can you put on an untimely death? $2K

#weirdcarBS

A left side view of a crude, rusty dragster that looks like it was built in the early '50s appears to be sitting abandoned in the desert. Flattened, destroyed whitewall tires cling to steel wheels adorned with ancient hubcaps. A 4 cylinder engine and transmission that have been painted orange sit completely exposed in front of the white steering wheel. A tall crusty juts skyward at a Dutch angle, like a monument to poor engineering. At the front, a small fuel tank that looks like it is from a riding mower is "secured" with metal strapping from a long forgotten hardware store. An overheard rear 3/4 view of a crude, rusty dragster that looks like it was built in the early '50s appears to be sitting abandoned in the desert. Inside the "cockpit" made of rusted tubes hammered flat and gas welded together you can see the white steering wheel that has had the bottom half of the circle hacksawed off. The flimsy tin bomber seat is at the very back of the vehicle, and to drive it, one would have to straddle the rear axle, with their reproductive bits snuggled closely to the puny banjo style rear end of dubious origin and strength.

Today's Vintage Daily Driver Crush is this 1969 Dodge Dart; if you are into "patina rods" you are in for a treat. Built by one of the "YouTube influencers," it has a healthy 340 backed by a 833 4 speed, and handling suspension it should be a hoot. $17.5K is highly optimistic, however.

#weirdcarBS
Driver's 3/4 front photo of 1969 Dodge Dart driving on a road through rolling brown hills and green meadows. The car is a patina-ed red with a rust colored driver's side fender. There is a large hood scoop and several sponsor stickers on the fender. The car is lowered substantially with oversized white lettered tires on chrome wheels sticking out past crudely cut wheel wells.

Today's "Vintage" Daily Driver crush is a 2010 Chevy HHR panel all in white. I kinda like it as-is, but could also see it with some vintage style lettering, or even with some Boogie Van graphics and then use it as a shop truck. $1500 "needs a fuel pump" No, I don't believe it either.

Today's Vintage Daily Driver Crush is a seldom seen 1984 Dodge Mini Ram Van with *no* window in the side slider door. Standard engine would be the 2.2L "Trans4" I can't tell if it has the 4 speed, 5 speed manual, or TorqueFlite auto, and won't ask the seller for fear of buying it @ the $750 asking
Right side profile photo of a white 1984 Dodge Ram Mini Van across the street from what appears to be a church, perhaps seeking salvation. Some rust is visible at the 9 o'clock and 2:30 positions of the rear wheel well. Passenger front 3/4 view photo of a white 1984 Dodge Ram Mini Van sitting forlorn on a residential street. The grill has quad rectangular headlamps, and the hood appears to be spray bombed with an aerosol can. This van appears to have the standard low back seats.
