Camtron Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 You Jinxed me! You truly are eve-ill. Like the fru-its of the De-Vil! J/k buddy. But I woke up today with a cough and a fever and we're packing up to head to my Hospital in OKC (3 hour drive). I already spent Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (got home last night) and I do believe my wife's Murano could make the trip on autopilot. Lol I just did a 5 day stint a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully this one won't be too bad either! I'm just glad I got to spend a night at home! /whining Edit: My fever had started to come down before we left (took a bit to get packed and arrange child/puppy care) and by the time we got to the hospital my fever was normal. Except for blood cultures, which take a couple of days, all the tests they ran came back normal. They considered admitting me for 24 hours for observation, but after more than 12 in the ER with no fever and no changes we decided to head on home. I'll hafta go back if I spike another fever, but spending the meantime at home with my family is gonna be better healthwise anyway. There's not a lot I like less than being in the hospital when I feel fine. Quote Link to comment
datsuntrucker Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 you would happen to know if he still has the toyota hilux's? Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 you would happen to know if he still has the toyota hilux's? I'd have to go check to be sure, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that they're still there. Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 In other news, Robber's Cave State Park (which is about a mile from this place) was listed as the best state park in the US to survive the Zombie Apocalypse in by a parks blog. Pretty sweet! http://pocketrangerblog.com/5-state-parks-to-hide-out-in-if-theres-ever-a-zombie-apocalypse/ Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Does the guy still have that Z? I cant get it out of my head lol, can you find out what kinda money he'd want for it? Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 He still had it as of last week, but I beleive another Ratsuner is making inquiries at the present, and I think he's mainly interested in the engine. Maybe you guys could double team it? Lol Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 anyone who pays more than $1000 is seriously messed up in the head, maybe 1500, but thats the absolute limit of value, RHD z's are not as rare as I once thought they were. those carbs in that condition are only worth a few hundred bucks at best. and the body in that condition is going to take an incredible amount of restoration. I really wish people had some semblance of respect for these cars and did not leave them sitting out for 30 years thinking its protected by a tarp. Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Well. We've all learned a valuable lesson. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 just my opinion, I mean on a side note, I would be all over restoring that beast, and I forgot to say, Congrats on the Dime. 1 Quote Link to comment
EVILC Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hey Cam, how you feeling? Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Doing well thanks! I haven't been in the hospital in about a month and my photopheresis treatments are still helping, so I can't complain! Well, I'm sure I could! Lol Quote Link to comment
OkieRA29 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 More importantly, how is the 510 doing! Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Unfortunately I have still been moving at a dead snail's pace on the dime. The last real work I was able to put in was on Memorial Day. I had to sit out that entire week of 80 degree weather because my white blood cell count was low and the risk of infection was too high. I still haven't finished stripping/cleaning the interior :( But I've got a nice pile of parts in my shed! So it shouldn't take long to get her back together once I finally get to do it!

EVILC Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cam keep me in mind if you make it back out to that guys house......spares for my Fairlady would be great! Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I tried man! I promise I did, but he wouldn't even talk about letting me take any parts! He's thinking he's gonna get it running and sell it. I HIGHLY doubt he'll get around to it, so I'll keep checking and let you know if he changes his mind Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 He moved to Oklahoma from California in the mid 70's and brought some stuff with him then. At one time he had a couple of DKW cars and some smaller displacement Ducati motorcycles. A pretty well rounded guy; automotively speaking. He was a machinist in Calif. & for a time in Oklahoma. I bought some 55-57 Chevy parts from him in the 70's. Certainly has an eye for unique and desirable cars. Steve Quote Link to comment
OkieRA29 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wow, we really need to do a ratsun/toyota/JNC type BBQ or get together sometime soon. There are a couple of JNC guys(mistu stuff) down in Ada as well. Hope you are doing well Cam! Quote Link to comment
505plus5 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well, well, well Cam! Lucky yourself having found that nice looking 510, my brother. You look like a chill looking guy with a cool son, man! And, besides your illnesses (praying for ya!) I'd say you're pretty lucky to have a cool family and 510!- something many of us would be very fortunate to have! Thanks for sharing that sighting. Saw that Ford Galaxy in the background as well. Reminded me of an old neighbor of mine, back in the 80's. Lol. I really see your find as a come up. It's all there, complete! Except for the carb, of course and whatever else you know is missing! The body is straight and it does look very solid. Send us a current pic as it sits now, regardless of progress! I'd still like to see them. To me it's like the first and main part of the acquiring mission- picturing it in your OWN turf! Lol My eyes popped out when I first read your story and got a slight glimpse of a flash reflection when your 510's picture was loading up! Hahaha Hey, I'm also interested in those Hi-Luxes, if you ever get a chance at pictures and info, any time. Tell the guy, I says Hi and thank you for the show! Lol Get better, stronger and thanks again Cam! Greetings to the kiddo and rest of fam! Ttyl. Quote Link to comment

Chuck Most Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Very cool! Reminds me of when my buddies and I used to go out "sightseeing" (ie- snooping around on other people's property) in the woods and finding long-lost automotive treasures. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment
