This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition , where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot . After the Shark and Minnow Midget/Continental combo, it only seemed right to share some photos of another street-parked Midget (ideally, one not overshadowed by some monster land yacht), and Kitt has shot such a car for us in her South Denver neighborhood. This one's for sale, and instead of a price it's got a printout of the NADA Guides retail value; hey, it's worth a try! I've done a fair amount of Midget driving, and they're a lot of fun… provided you carry every tool you own in the boot- you'll need 'em, thanks to the one-two punch of Lucas Electrics and SU carbs- and don't mind the disconcerting experience of viewing the undersides of truck trailers on the freeway. galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverMidget', 6, '1973 MG Midget Down On The Denver Street'); DOTS FAQ

There's a Volvo 262C parked in a driveway scant blocks from my house; it would be a super-cool DOTS car, but it's off-limits. Not so for the Bertone in ejacobs' neighborhood, which is on the street and set up for easy photography with no other vehicles nearby. These things sold for 15 grand back in the day, well over twice the price of a regular 242; this one has some rust, but looks pretty complete. galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverBertone', 11, '1979 Volvo Bertone Down On The Denver Street');

We're being buried under a deluge of car photos from Kitt and EJacobs , our dog-walking, camera-wielding friends in Denver, so we'd better keep 'em coming if we're ever going to get caught up. Today we're going to look at a battered but proud Malaise Matador, courtesy of Kitt. We can't be sure that this car is equipped with today's Engine of the Day, but there's a good chance a torquey AMC 258 motivates this survivor; otherwise it has a 304, 360, or 401. galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverMatador', 9, '1976 AMC Matador Down On The Denver Street');

Since Truck Monday has been a Down On The Street tradition for quite a few weeks, we might as well extend the concept to DOTS Bonus Edition. And who else but Denver's Kitt could go out and find not just one but four cool old Chevy pickups for us? We got what appears to be a '69, a '70, a '72, and a '77, each earning its keep in the 5280. It's a Quadra-Truck-Stravaganza! Make the jump to see four- count 'em, four- additional galleries! galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverChevyTrucksTop', 9, 'Chevy Pickups Down On The Denver Street'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverChevyTrucks1', 23, '1969 Chevrolet Pickup Down On The Denver Street'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverChevyTrucks2', 21, '1970 Chevrolet Pickup Down On The Denver Street'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverChevyTrucks3', 24, '1972 Chevrolet Pickup Down On The Denver Street'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverChevyTrucks4', 27, '1977 Chevrolet Pickup Down On The Denver...

You think Kitt and her trusty canine sidekick have given up looking for cool old cars in their Denver neighborhood? No way! After the big-block El Camino last week, we're getting a Toyota Land Cruiser that's still in service as a painter's work truck. I've given up trying to guess the years on these things, especially when they've been modified, though the side marker lights may indicate a late-60s/early-70s model here. Make the jump for an additional gallery. galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverLandCruiserTop', 6, 'Land Cruiser Still On The Job In Denver Part 1'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverLandCruiserJump', 26, 'Land Cruiser Still On The Job In Denver Part 2');

What year Bronco are we looking at here? Well, there's a 302 emblem, and dual fuel tanks, and a blacked-out grille... but these clues don't mean a whole lot when they're on a vehicle that's probably had more than 50% of its components swapped from other trucks during its lifetime. 1970? 1975? You tell us! Kitt has added another well-traveled old truck to our collection of Down On The Denver Street entries; now we've got a Rampage , an IH Travelall , a Dodge Camper Special , and a Cherokee. Make the jump for more photos. galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverBroncoTop', 21, 'Bronco Down On The Denver Street Part 1'); galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverBroncoJump', 6, 'Bronco Down On The Denver Street Part 2');
