Jalopy Joe’s Personal Ride, Retired California Hot Rod Builder

Written by Ken Altes

Met Jalopy Joe at a drug store in far S. Austin. Chatted him up. Now retired,  he built hot rods for decades in the SF area. He pointed out a number of subtle details revealing a very sophisticated build.Jalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX front viewJalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX engine Jalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX interiorJalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX rearJalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX frontJalopy Joe's Custom 1960s Chevrolet Pickup in Austin TX rear quarter view

Antonio’s Sweet 1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 Door is For Sale

Written by Ken Altes

This Merc was on display at last weekend’s fabulous Lonestar Round Up car show. Good looking, very low mileage (58k) original car, pretty rare at only 7565 made. Strong 260 cu. in. V8 and Merc-o-Matic, in Sultana White, purchased in Brenham, TX, on June 26, 1963, by a Mr. Lawrence John Gell from a salesman named Mr. Carl Kingsbery. (I wonder what these fellows were like.  I cut off the Ford dealership name when I took the pic.) Antonio told me that the car has been repainted but this is a solid car with no rust and the interior is original and in good shape except for a door panel that needs rewrapping. In 2007, about $2700 work was done on fuel and brake lines, etc.1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin Texas grille1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX dashboard1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX interior back seat1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX trunk1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX contact info1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin Texas front1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX 260 cuin engine1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX original sale receipt1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX Detail on trunk1963 Mercury Meteor Custom 2 door hardtop for sale, Austin TX rear
