Unfortunately it's not just Southern Cities, here in East Central Illinois (Champaign/Urbana) you can't make a trip across town without seeing some pretty neat street Iron that it would take a stepladder to get in and out of. I'm talking about a 68 Cutlass, 72 Chevelle convertibles, a 65 El Camino and the list goes on! The word "Donks" pretty much sums it up!

I don't really like them, but I look at it as at least they're not getting crushed. Most of those suspension kits are bolt-on's, and paint is paint. If it was bad enough to need a repaint, that's probably why it's a loud-sparkly color. Then you'd have been painting it anyway or paying someone to repaint it. And as for the rims, you can sell them like any other set of rims you don't like.

Re: Craigslist Finds: The Donks of Memphis

not for me, but to each their own. they just want to see around the soccermom in the big suv ;D
I like the mud tire idea. a tar without all the frame changing..

no different than the 80's and prostreet that took off only because those cars at the time where cheap and where rotted at the rear frame/trunk floor and wheelwells..
so out came the sawsall..
the want ad tuesday hunt, look a cheap nova rust in the wheel wells holy trunk and questionable rear frame rails(unitbody)
but it's 700.oo and we can dicker to under 500.oo and tub it..
ahhhhhhhhhhh the 80's

I would buy the white Caprice and cruise it, because unlike anyone on here who has a car they talk about and dont finish, those cars actually run.

Indeed. In what world was his remark warranted? To a lot of us this is a hobby, not a business. That means we work on our rides when we can afford to, or whenever we damned well feel like it.

Wow.

Re: Craigslist Finds: The Donks of Memphis

Donks. So that's what they're called. All over the place here in Norfolk VA. Certainly keeping some wheel and tire shops in business (heck, you can even lease rim/tire packages ??? ).
