Ratty e-bodies pic thread

[dave73]

Some call it ratty, patina, unfinished, etc etc. Regardless, I love the look and always gravitate towards them when I see them. There is just something so awesome about an owner who is out enjoying their car, doesn't care if it's raining, where they park etc etc. So let's see some of them. There was a thread on here but it died out and was over a year old and had limited pictures.

Interesting thread. I wish I still had one of my old daily drivers.

My A66 car was pretty ratty when I bought it.

I'm definitely of the same mind.  At a car show I always find the old beaters in the parking lot more interesting than the show ponies.  I think it's probably because these cars remind me of the beaters that were on the road in the mid-80s when I was getting into these cars.  My favorites are the ones wearing old Day 2 aftermarket wheels.  Aluminum slots are probably my favorite, but old Cragers and Torque-Thrusts also make for an awesome ratty muscle car look.  Here's mine.  I keep thinking about swapping out my repro rally wheels for slotted mags or Torque-Thrusts, but it always seems like that money could be more wisely spent on something else.

Not E-Bodies, but I love the look of these ratty old Chargers.

Yup, this is my all time favorite. Roadkill general maintenance with a modern hemi swap

I'm told this one was on the roads of Oklahoma before eventually coming to me.
