    Steve Magnante has been MIA for awhile....here is why:

    I think he has encephalitis, scary stuff, I read up on it this morning and two of the common causes are bites from mosquitoes and ticks, something commonly run across in a field or junkyard. I wish him well and have been an avid watcher of his YouTube channel.

    Love these guys.......... ONLY $8000!!!

    $2500ish new, money is supposed to double every 7 years, so car should be worth $160K based on time value of money.

    Love these guys.......... ONLY $8000!!!

    Yeah, when someone is attached to a car the price can be quite unrealistic. Just went through that while buying a car for my daughter from a guy who had put allot of love into his car. He actually stated that in his ad. After bidding him less than it was really worth he came back at a...

    Clown Car for sale on ebag

    The upholsterer probably owns it because the gold toothed owner could not pay for the bill. That's why it's on evilbay.

    Clown Car for sale on ebag

    Would it still be bone stock if it had a padded green toilet lid cover for an air cleaner? Bet the engine is painted lime green too, gotta be a slant.

    Clown Car for sale on ebag

    It looks like a Johny Lightning car. The padded steering wheel and LCD headrests are nice upgrades, the matching wheel outers to the interior looks very 1/64 scale too, kind of cool. Would not do it to one of my rides but hey, it's a hobby and I ain't judging anybody for it. None of these...

    Messy, messy. Cant work in this space

    How the heck did you transport it? Really neat idea too. If properly anchored and sealed from the weather that thing should stand up to most of what mother nature can dish out. Also, my apologies to the op, hope your back is getting better, I have been on restriced garage duty until recently...

    How rare is this and what's it worth?

    It's funny how every society is based around scarcity. The moment something is considered rare(scarce), everyone wants it, at least with things like precious metals such as gold or platinum. In the car world however, just because there are only a few examples left does not necessarily make it...

    How rare is this and what's it worth?

    Is the car named Christine?:cheese: If the car has structural problems, frame is shot I would turn around and run in the other direction. If the car was free it would not do it for me. This is not the only 67 Dart convertible on the face of the planet. Better to pony up a couple more...

    So this is what $6000 buys you nowadays?

    I just got back from an auto auction in Zephyrhills, FL. Their were allot of cars not on auction in the "flea market" section for sale. Hard to believe some of the asking prices for basket cases at best. I did see a clean 66 valiant convertible in red with white top, had a 318 transplant...

    slanty or 318

    I know I will probably get flamed for this but it is really a no-brainer, go with the 318 two barrel set up. The difference in economy is negligible and that small 8 will run circles around a stock slant. Any effort spent to hop up a slant six is better served on an eight cylinder. Yeah...

    Dash Bezels back from the Chromer!

    1973 Duster- what's it worth....

    You are getting rid of the wrong car, ditch the 2.3 Mustang.

    So just how good was the A-Body back in its day?

    I have owned and driven allot of cars, my favorite of all of them has been the first car I ever drove, my 73 gold duster. When these were new competition was fierce amongst the big three. Novas and Camaros were far quieter cars to ride in with less NVH to boot, albeit at a weight penalty for...

    Door latch went weird

    I was getting out of my car last Friday after work and when I pulled the door handle something let loose and now my door has to be slammed to get it to close. The door latch used to have two catches now it only has one and you have to close it pretty firm to get it to close. The first catch...

    Do you think I got screwed, or is it just part of the hobby?

    Yep, been done that way once myself but caught it before installing them in the engine. The machine shop guy insisted they were pressed on right until I asked him to lay out the pistons with the chamfers facing as they would on the crank, noting the dots on the pistons. The only reason I had...

    the perfect slant 6 burnout

    60 pounds of air pressure in the right rear tire, Jack up the ignition timing and power brake it if it's an auto. You will see tons of tire smoke.

    Top 10 things I hate about A Bodies

    My top ten dislikes,may be some repeats, listed in order of aggravation: 1)Windshield wiper design that requires attention under the dash: Leaky pivot seals, nylon bushings that crack and fall apart and are a real ***** to replace. 2)Leaky cowl seams that are very difficult to repair...

    My Dart is a star

    Yeah my Duster was used in a car wash commercial about twenty years ago, the camara guys are really careless, they bumped it a couple of times with the tripods while doing stills. Gotta watch the movie people, they can be rough.

    "clones"

    I worked for a restorer about 20 yrs ago who used to graft several donors together to get a #matching car. They were 1958 Pontiac Bonneville convertibles. Most of them were so rotten they had to be "rebodied". Since every conceivable part that came on a Bonne was replaced on the doner body...
