Still, it's kinda growin on me. Most guy's going through a midlife crisis buy a Porshe or Vette but no, not me, I want an 8 passenger Hippie suburban. Still, I might buy it. What'ya all think?

Even though it's brand Y, I'd be all over that thing. Not wild about the color, but what a cool rig. I see it has an automatic swap; what's under the hood?

Just enjoy it and don't worry about what you need it for. Looks like a fun, eye catching ride.

The Dog and the Fridge Panels are comparable beauty-wise, however, neither one would get past the first round in any beauty contest, except maybe in Edmonton.

My Dad used to drive one of those Dogs when he worked on the Army Base in Suffield. They never looked any better then, either. I also have a buddy who used to have 2 short-box pickups like that, he still whines that he sold them. He is a Dog man, has a 69 GTX.

I think that the uglier a vehicle, the more potential it has to be Foosiefied. If you lowered that, shaved it, maybe chopped the roof 3-4", stuck some big 18-20" hoops under it, and paint it a tasetful 2-tone, it could really come out looking great.

I always wanted Foose to get at a seventies International or an Edsel to really show what he could do with a truly ugly vehicle. But, he did a 58 Chebby so we are touching on hideous there, and it came out OK.

Be a Lot of work to do that up right, but you would certainly have something unique. It crys for a Hemi.

Anthony, I'd love a Fridge panel but up here they're non existant, or rusted beyond repair.

DV, it has a fresh 225 slant at the moment.

Why JC? Because it's s#it brown and a little low on horsepower?

Ugly is just another way to say it has "STYLE"
Sweet ride if it bothers you to drive I will bring it to Texas and drive it with a bag over my head for you.

lol, ugly = cool....

I kinda agree, I saw a '56 Packard Patrician on CL a while back, in some ways it was hideous, but that's what made me want it SO BAD!!! lol
