Cars of my Neighbourhood

When I was walking home in the pouring rain today I spotted a couple of cool old cars parked outside the church.

There was a green Belair which I had spotted at the shopping center across the road a couple of months ago, and also a red Valiant which looked pretty tough.

I decided to go back and get soaked just for some pictures.

The Belair was in top condition - looked like a brand new interior and I couldnt spot rust or anything. Would look better lowered with a different set of rims.

in this photo you can see the two cars strangely on the same street :o

Heres the Valiant, loved the sloping roof (kinda like a dodge GL Charger), had bonnet pin things as well.

Its quite exciting for sleepy old Floreat - packed full of old people driving corollas.

that was a roo in the background... im pretty sure its a liberty or sumthn?
but ye i got no idea why i didnt get any pictures of that :? sorry maybe next time :wink:

floreat beach and city beach are just next to eachother... drive down oceanic dr or the boulevard and once you go up a hill and get to the very bottom (around golf course or perry lakes) your in floreat for the next km or so?

Just behind city beach

Thanks for sharing the pics with us J 8)

The ol Val looks cool, & and the 64 Chev is a airbag candidate for sure.

Needed to practice some pics anyway so it was a perfect opportunity 8)
I was hoping the Chev was a p.o.s so I could offer the guy 10g's for it, and if I got it, bags would be the first addition.

Every 60's ish Chev should be scraping - in a few songs (hiphop) people refer to them as slabs :P
