I was born in Honolulu at Tripler hospital when my father was stationed there in the USAF.....many years ago. He is buried at the Veteran's cemetary- The Punchbowl. My wife, kids and I take my mom to Honolulu to "visit" him every 5-6 years. I can imagine how rare a bump would be in Hawaii. 
much aloha. cool story Hawaii is a beautiful place. but for a loco boy like me its extremely hard to budget a restoration. almost all the parts must be flown in and the cost is out of this world. the nearest junk yard is a 3 hour drive away and I have the only bumpside within miles of my district. I know of only 3 others on the island. 2 beyond salvage sadly and 1 fully restored 1969 f250 camper special. nobody even knows what a column shift is anymore hereterry1167 wrote:Welcome from Colorado!
yea cars really dont last too long here unless you keep um washed and cleaned regularly. Luckily when i bought my 71 it was from a town not near the shoreline. Its pretty high up there in the kohala mountains. Cold country. its a miracle she survived with the little rust that she has.Racer Z wrote:The few times that I've seen a car with Hawaii plates, it's had lots of rust. I assume that from the salty ocean air.
