Even back in back wood Missouri, GOOD 340's would bring $1000 up 20 odd years ago, easy, if std. or a good .030. The wore out ones at .060 were not wanted period.
Like said, a guy needs to be able to measure the taper in the bores and look at what he is buying. Its still a crap shoot sometimes.
S E TEXAS .... today 101, heat index 120 in the shade. Paint them and set in sun, Verify temp with the HF heat gun and it will read about 150 degrees!! Done.
I am thrilled to see the "old car community" coming to Steve's aid.
All we ever hear these days is negative and political BS and slanted news about everything in this world.
I certainly do not know Steve personally, I just have always assumed him to be one of us old car loving guys, trying to...
Sorry for your loss.
I had a father in law that passed decades ago. I loved him like he was my blood dad. He passed nearly 50 years ago, and I think of him often.
My method is make any old car I buy MINE. The next guy can make it how ever the heck HE wants!! Most everything can be reversed. If it ain't a #s 71 heeeeemi Cuda, I say go for it!!
When a large number of people can donate just a SMALL amount of cash to help out a fellow human being that deserves some help.... it can be life changing. And the feeling the guy giving just a little, gets in return. that sense of ??? there are so many good words to describe that......and the...
^^I certainly do not know Steve personally, but like clementine^^^ says, I bet Steve is a real standup guy that deserves his many fans to come to his aid. Just a lot of people with small contributions can change this mans life back to as much as normal as possible.
As I have already...
^^^^I bettered ya!! $25.
:poke:
I could have maybe done more, but a huge pine took out my old Ram pickup other week in a storm..
Really, like said there is a lot of respect and love for Steve. Hopefully this go fund will be shared with all the old car world. MotorTrend should have...
Yea... and just how many people today actually think the mileage showing on their 70 Dart is what is really is!!???? :rofl: :BangHead: :steering: :poke:
OK so I mean't 3:55s.
It is a different world today, in every, EVERY possible way... take me back to the sixties and omit Viet Nam and the hippies! :BangHead:
Update! I got my new computer up and going. (the puter nerd did actually!). I sold the truck for $4000. I put my pencil to it, and figured he would have in it just all it would be worth with his labor,,,,, buy a cab and do what all the little things it needs.
Back in the day..the 60s,70s,80s,90s...... Chargers with 440 auto and 3:32 gears!?s etc. I wonder just how many times I saw a 383 RR with 4 speed, 3:54 gears out run the Charger/ No track, just south Ga. blacktop/
Catch a ride on the "way back machine" to 1988 and buy a GOOD 20 year old 68 Roadrunner, 383, 4 speed, 3:54 gears for $1000-1500 and you will know the answer.
