Found this and thought it was interesting, never saw a pic of a straight 8 before...

Also.. did Chevy actually ever make these ? it looks like a conversion to me..

The Ute is real, they only made 'em in Australia. Personally, I'm greatful, otherwise we'd see more of them here.

The Poncho straight-eight is an awesome looking mill. Looks like you could set it for dinner! I'd love to use a flathead straight eight in a '29 roadster (with suitably lengthened frame, of course...)

That Chevy truck has been in the trader for weeks, he had something like £6,500 on it.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

DollarForDollar hass a be-u-tee-ful straight 8 in her Pontiac...maybe she'll post a pic of it.

yeah hes had it up on ebay for 6500, then 5500, then 4500 now 3500.. (GBP that is, 6500 = $10k US ) no-one has bid on it that I have seen. Its kinda good looking and a bit ugly at the same time. I think it needs the back of the cab to be taken off shear at the end of the bed, it looks like a car with a bed.

I think the poncho could make a neat rod, wonder what the reserve is..
