New guy from Vancouver BC area.

Hey guys, cool forum!

I've got a 67 econoline project in progress and my wife has scored a good job in the city so we're moving from a small town back to Vancouver (New Westminster to be exact).

I have to sell all my redneck country vehicles and I need a commuter car to get to my new job, I play upright bass and need to get it to jams too.

I can't think of a better car than a 60's wagon, and when my van is done I'll have both, talk about farting in silk!

I'm partial to falcon/comets and I think the good mileage is important for a daily driver, I'm not sure what I'm gonna have to spend to get a rough but reliable car so any input would be appreciated.

Cheers, glad to be here!

 

Roddy....its like a Dejavu.......cmon...think...

dude...who has more Falcons Fairlanes Comets in their yard than I?

to one of the best dam boards you'll have the pleasure of typing on

you know where else to find moi..

 

Welcome to the forum, Roddy.

Man, what is about the Northwest and Falcons / Comets? Lots of fans / collectors up here....

I was even trolling the internet the other day and came across a Falcon / Comet-specific wrecking yard in Portland - but you guys probably already knew about it, eh?

 

Welcome Roddy. I worked there for a few years in New Westminster. Long commute to downtown Van. Good luck with the search in Rev's yard.

 

Ha ha, the famous Rev from the FBB. Your wagon collection seems to come up a lot over there, you must be an addict.

I'm commuting from New West to Cloverdale starting March 15th, unlike my van I have to find something running because I leave here on the 12th!

Do you have anything for sale Rev, or any leads? I'm on a time crunch but I just don't want to end up with some 90's mini-van so I'm looking high and low from up here.

 

Roddy. The Rev's collection is like the song "Hotel California"..."You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave".

 

THAT is the GOSPEL Truth!!!

 

Do they have "mirrors on the ceilings and pink champagne on ice" too?

 

That's possible. I haven't seen the Rev's house but that wouldn't surprise me.

 

...a few...

...funny boy....

quiet ol man

...took the mirrors down....

simmer down pal

 

Well that's good to hear!

 

It's is completely obvious that Roddy is a nuts as the rest of us. Oops, some of us.

 

Hey - i found a pic of roddy's econoline....



Says 'Roddy' all over it, doesn't it?

 

Yup....the Rev has "a few" for sale and a lot more in his yard, Roddy. It's that RUNNING part where you might have a problem!

 

you guys are pretty yappy for people who have never even seen my yard

.....wheres the 'hatemail' button???
