For nearly 40 years, Dave’s Goldwest Auto Wrecking has been buying and selling wrecked muscle cars in Southern California. Sadly, after all these years, they are closing their doors and are selling off all their inventory and land. They have about 75 project muscle cars up for grabs that need to go. If you’re in the region, we would recommend stopping by, even if it’s just to roam the yard.
Yes, you remember the plastic strips and setting up the loop for your Hot Wheels track and watching your favorite car do a loop (or sometimes just drop on it’s top) after you released it on the track.
You’ll love this video, even if you only had a Easy Bake Oven and didn’t have a Hot Wheels track set.
Tanner Foust has made a career out of driving little cars in a tight circle – (yawn). Just kidding….the guy has some great skills…..so check out this life size Hot Wheel Double Loop.

This isn’t the greatest paint job but I love the front end of this 1950 Ford F-3.
1950 Ford F-3
Normally the grill insert (including the panels where the headlights are is white.
Love the hood!
The bed has been nicely done.
Not a great shot but the stake bed is nicely done. This Truck still see a good it of work
The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in 1948 as a replacement for the previous car-based pickup line introduced in 1941. The F-Series was sold in eight different weight ratings, with pickup, panel truck, cab-over engine (COE), conventional truck, and school bus chassis body styles.
The F-3 became the F-350 in 1953.
Your engine selections were:
226 CID 3.7 liter I6
239 CID 3.9 liter Flathead VI
254 CID 4.2 liter I6
337 CID 5.5 liter Flathead V*

Normally, I do a Auto Factoid piece and you’d find a entry that would say on May 14, 1969 the last Corvair rolled off the factory line.
Some folks loved the car and many collectors still do. There were a few that really disliked the car for various reasons and one guy in particular, Ralph Nader, believed they represented all that was wrong with the U.S. auto industry. Although he may not have single-handedly contributed the end of the Corvair’s production, many believe he was instrumental in it’s early demise.
That’s why in a border town car show in Nogales, AZ I found this humorous:
What’s funny about a 1966 Corvair?
How about the Ralph Nader for President bumper sticker?

Just down the street is a new eating establishment. From the outside it looks odd, until you realize that the shape on the roof is a car air filter. On the inside it’s very unique.
While dinning you are sitting slightly above and do the West of a very large working garage. The glass walls allow patrons to view the projects that range from a built from scratch race platform (not yet a car but tube framed out), a Cobra body – mostly likely a kit, any early 1900 Ford, a 50’s Chevy and few other.
It has a great atmosphere with lots of car and racing memorabilia (with a complete Sprint and drag car) and lots of TVs tuned to all types of sports. Food is good and prices are reasonable.
Hot Rods
As you can guess in my two previous ‘almost live’ posts Hot Rods is a great place to hold a car show.
And what would a car show be without some classic corvettes? Well we weren’t able to explore that at this show.
