Bullit - the Chase (Steve McQueen)

[king_midas]

I moved from the city of S.F. in 2003, and it was still a rolling car show out there when I left. On the other side of the Haight, there was a '68 Charget R/T parked on the street that I used to ride my motorcycle by every day-- One day it wasn't there anymore. Clapped out, dents, and needing a complete cosmetic restoration, but rust-free...

There are all sorts of cool cars in the city, mostly cars that are under the radar like old Datsun 510's, BMW's of all sorts, VW's, etc... A friend of mine had a '62 T-Bird that he drove every day.

Depending on what part of the city your're in, though, cars will rust terribly. I passed up a '69 RS Camaro before I moved: LeMans blue, A/C, 350 4-speed, original owner. It was rough (EVERY panel needed to be addressed/replaced, including the roof), but it was all there.
