Amy & me went out to the beach this morning for a breakfast cruise at Captree State Park. Beautiful morning, empty roads, no police presence, real nice drive. We get out there and check out the machinery: From mini-trucks & imports to a Lamborghini & a Bentley. Wild range of cars & bikes. Then, in the middle of it all I spot a weird one:

An old Henry J ! I haven't seen one of these since the last vintage drag event I went to in Maple Grove, Pa. It caught my attention so I snapped a picture. Like I said, it was a beautiful day and all the lots were full. We continued walking throught the cars and what do I spot; a SECOND Henry J !

How many of these things can be left? And to find 2 at the same cruise parked in different ends of the lot no less. So I figure I've seen two oddities and that's that. We continue walking and spot a pair of beautiful Pontiac Fiero's parked side by side with a large crowd behind the cars inspecting the engines. Now, human nature is to walk over a see what everyone is looking at. I'm glad I did.

This one is packing a supercharged V-6.....

And this one a Corvette small block! The workmanship was first rate. They were both magazine quality cars and stood out as much as the guy with the new Ford GT.

For my fellow Long Islander's every Sunday morning from 7:30 to about 10-ish everyone gathers at the dock's at the fishing boat rentals and show there rides. Captree State Park just off the Robert Moses Causeway. Checkitout! :thumrigh:
 
The nice thing about this cruise is that it starts real early and ends real early. All the little pin-heads are still sleeping off their X-induced nights out winging around in their buzz-bombs. Plus the state troopers are happy to assist in helping traffic move. No non-sense here. All mature car owners weilding THOUSANDS of horsepower, and not a single tire was chirpped. Very refreshing....
 
i built a fiero v8 back in 97-98 pretyy cool car,didnt steer worth a crap,fast though ,just had a hard time keeping clutches in it.;.......as for the henry j there are 3 at the marcus dairy every saturday night (all 3 same family) that primer one that is in one of your pics has a complete 4.6 ford drivetrain.......
 
Those Henry J's are neat little cars! :thumleft:

An old junkyard i go to once in a while has one but not much left of it pretty well rotted away! :(
 

Henry J's man I wish I had draged the 2 that were in a junk yard near here. You can't even walk in there now.
They make a real nice rod.
