Car hunting in Idaho, not for the faint at hearted!
Ok will they shoot us? Or unleash their (BIG) dogs? You never know, but let me take you along on our trip this time, so at least we got a witness….:)
it all started in a civilized world…
we drove by beautiful empty country side…
The drive was long, the roads getting smaller….
…. and unpaved…. gravel driving… long….
ok, let’s the adventure starts, what will this ranch be hiding?
open the gate and GO!
I really hope they don’t have Dogs!
We’ve been greeted by a couple of old REO trucks, the middle one was my instant favorite…
From there it became real small trails …. wowh… Don’t remember I went this deep for treasures…
Look! What is appearing on the horizon?
Damn, good hunters need good trackers, and my tracker today was one of world best trackers we all see here! Thanks buddy, this was so cool!
Besides the Bay windows what I think are too far gone there was a 1960 double cab and a 1957 panelvan…. both are available, and are not expensive, but they’re both huge projects… so let me know in case of interest…
The setting couldn’t have been better, incredible views came in the package…:)
Bye bye babies, hopefully see a couple of you back soon!
We also said Hi! …..to the neighbours…:)
And drove out, to the next destination….
Ok was this road getting us somewhere or what? Let’s follow some more trails in next adventure… stay tuned!
Idaho treasures…. a visit to my friend Lind….
Oh yes every state in the USA has “his” treasures…
In Idaho it’s for sure Lind that’s worth a visit, although I cleared out a lot of the treasures…:)
Yes they still have “rows” of everything….
The Type 3 row… soon to be in Belgium…:) Looking for an early model square back? don’t delay contact me today!

Ah my little favorite of the lot… if we had dunes in Belgium to drive in, I would have bought it on the spot!
Check out that wild pedal assembly, saw ever a car with 4 pedals before?
Ok for Idaho part 1, get on the road, some serious car hunting ahead…
Stay tuned, this was only te start!
ISP, EMPI and my flight to Boise Idaho
Before heading off to Boise I jumped by my friend Alex from ISP West, Type 3 specialist in and out.
Entering ISP is like entering in a different dimension…. Alex has style, a lot of style!
