I got to drive my Aunts 65 HiPo for one glorias summer after I graduated. She offered to sell it to my for $500, but it would have cost $50 to fix the transmission, so I wisely turned it down! Those were the days. I always liked the Falcon speedometer better then the later round jobs.My 65 Mustang:

I bought two vehicles today. I got this 1951 Ford F-6 Dump Truck. I'm thinking perhaps of putting a fuel-injected engine, and an overdrive trans in it, restoring the interior, fixing the rust on the body. Beyond that, I'd just like to clean it up, clear coat it to preserve the patina and have a neat mix of old and new.
Also bought this '91 GMC with my friend. I'm taking the engine/trans/computer to go in the '51, and he is parting out what's left of it and taking the rest to the scrapyard.

I don't think it'll be too terrible. Most of it could be fixed with some sheetmetal patches. Luckily, it's not a very rusty truck.

Funny you say that. This truck rolled up and everyone at the shop compared it to the car in Jeepers Creepers.
We almost bought the 1960 Impala from that movie a few years back.
I went and looked at a 1960 Impala Sport Sedan (flattop) today. It was 950 bucks, but was just too far gone. I'd be in a fortune just to get it road worthy. I was sad to have to pass on it. My first car was a '60 Bel-Air.

I'm curious of that, too. I would lean toward column B.
Here's one for you.

l wondered if that was a stock horn or something that the production stuck in the truck.
If you remember that thing was LOUD! The one they used in the film was really in good shape that is
before the creeper smashed into it
There was 3 trucks made for the movie . Truck One did not run and most likely was not used in the movie. Truck two had the original working 6 cylinder engine and truck 3
had a new 8 cylinder automatic installed and was used for all the chase scenes . The first two are in private collections . Truck 3 I have heard
is being used in part 3 but that is unconfirmed. The first original or truck one was sold on Ebay for 4500.00 . I would have bought it if i had known
