1970, a great year for toys
« on: May 12, 2019, 12:51:33 PM »
After a couple hundred miles on the Ambassador yesterday I pulled the old CJ5 out today to hit a few back roads. I wasnt looking for vehicles from 1970 but somehow they found me. Both original paint and running well.

Any other fans of the early 70’s vehicles?

Any time Sam. You need to get some of this old Coleman stuff out of here.

At my previous job, my co-workers called me "That '70s Guy".  :grin: My daily driver was a crusty '70 Mercedes 220D and at the time my only motorcycle was the '69 Ambo.

In the previous century I've owned a '72 Eldo and a '71 F250 - I'd still have 'em if I owned a barn  :grin:
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.
