Great video, and a beautiful job done on the Cyclone, Couldn't watch the whole video, just skipped through it quickly, because I couldn't stand the shit music! Why do so m any people ruin good videos with bad music?

I just got a bmw 2002 1975 I’m looking to restore it and any tips or anything? Car: it has everything in the interior the body is rusted here and there but not to bad and it needs paint and there is no engine or transmission
A very nice specimen there. Many cars of the day had a 6 volt electrical system (battery), but with the 12 volt system, with a negative earth, an alternator could be fitted easily. Built at a time when petrol (gas) was still on rations, so a small 4 cylinder engine was the most popular choice, even for a large family...
@RestorerMatt I grew up in these Trucks. My Dad owned a half dozen of them when I was growing up. I learned to drive in one of these at the young age of 12. These are very Special Trucks! I am currently on the hunt for one right now to restore or hopefully find one that doesn't need it. He started buying these in 1973 the first year they came out. He ordered a new one every year,, and usually sold the previous year Model to one of my Uncles or one of his Friends. My Fav was his 76, which he owned 2 of them Identical. In early 76 he ordered 2 brand new Super Campers with the Ranger XLT options, both were 4 speeds, and had A/C, which is actually a pretty rare option on these Trucks. I remember going with him to pick them up from the Dealer, and on the way home we dropped 1 off at the Machine Shop, where they pulled the 390 Big Block out, bored it .030 over balance and blue printed, and put a set of 2" Tubed Headers on it, and a custom 3" Dual exhaust from the Headers back. Aluminum Intake and a Holley 750cfm Carb. This was all done before the Truck ever had 50 miles out on it. That Truck was a Beast. That Truck stayed hooked to our Holiday Rambler 5th Wheel for most of it's life with us. The one he left stock was his daily driver that he drove back and forth to work at the Mines. They were both Black, and looked like twins, one was just way more of a Badass than the other one. I would give my picky finger to have either one of them right now, in fact any one of the 6 he owned during the 70's. Imho, these are some of the toughest Trucks ever built. I'm curious why this one doesn't have the "Special" Badges? I remember my Dad's always had Badges on them that said "Super Camper Special". There weren't very many if these Trucks built. You will see more 73's because they built more that year (the first year model) than any of the other years. They also built one called a Trailer Special that had this same 140" Wheelbase. The one way to tell a True Super Camper Special, is the fact that they had an extra large Rear Bumper that was on a Sliding System. You could slide the Bumper out further for large Slide In Campers that stuck out further in the back. Here are the production #'s for Super Camper Specials 1973 = 11,889 1974 = 1340 1975 = 2816 1976 = 2589 1977 = 3058 1978 = 3058 1979 = 3719
