    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    i don't understand what your goal is here? My goal is manifold. But, in part, it's to understand why a forum thread about a car turns into a figurative jousting tournament. Someone has a differing opinion or irritating online personality.... full speed ahead, run 'em through! admonishing me...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Actually, I don't understand. That's why I'm responding to this thread. You choose your actions. No one else is responsible for that. Interesting you picked out another lofty haughty phrase.

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Dan might be off base. Whatever. You are missing my point even though you pointed it out in your own post (#34). You said "imagine". You can't base comps on imagined circumstances. (drunk idiot..., mom's old car .....) Certainly, not rational to expect someone else to base their comps on...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    So you agree that Dan is just giving his opinion. "any sane person i would take a look at the comps before making a decision on value" Dan claims to do the very same thing by looking at Marketplace and CL. So, he must be sane and as such; realistic in his assessment. His opinion does not fit...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    To be an arbitrator, would mean he sets the value on Dusters. He has an opinion on it's value just like everyone else on this thread. So, if you are shopping for a Duster and a guy is selling a run of the mill /6 Duster with o.k. paint,etc and wants $26k for it. Are you going to say to yourself...

    Have a 340 short block 2B304157,

    hoping to reunite it with the original car. Was told it came from a '72 Cuda. Listed For Sale on FEBO. The VIN stamp is not so good. Looks like the machine bounced.

    Advice on buying junkyard engines?

    I"ve bought 4 engines from salvage sources. 2 came with 30 day warranty. I borescope the cylinders. Pull a valve cover to look at the amount of sludge build up. Look for clues of abuse or hack maintenance. The 2 engines with warranty; I installed them and drove it. Really didn't do much for...

    Michigan Christmas Lights

    I say it's intentional. As another example, look up phallic symbols in Disney art. Or sexual graphics in Disney. "Lion King" has at least one. This stuff is presented subtly and incrementally. The town I live near has street ornaments with candles. The candles are vertical with a wreath...

    Right. By law everyone onboard must have a seat and be seated. Went like this: I went to the Frontier website and put in my origin airport and destination. The page pops up and says "we have low fares to Phoenix for $65.00 *one way." Great! I book two round trip tickets for two people. $260.00...

    Frontier. Airbus A320. By the way, for those that have not flown Frontier. Those advertised low fares are just paying for the airplane to get to the destination. If you want a seat on the airplane, you have to pay extra. No kidding.

    True Story From The Past

    I was at a friends house, many years ago. His phone number was one digit different than the power company. He would get phone calls from people reporting their power was out. One time, he answered the phone and someone said their power was out. He said, "well, pay your damn bill"! and hung up.

    Picture from our flight to Arizona. Notice how the seat is made and the distance between seats. *mooooo* By the way, nothing was served. No drink, no tiny bag of pretzels.

    The end is near for Hot Rod Magazine

    Subscribed to Hot Rod back in the '80's. Sort of disappointed at all the Chevy stuff. They did feature a '71 Hemi Road Runner with a clear plexiglass hood insert. If I recall correctly and that's a big "if". Anyway, it got one page in the magazine and one photo that was black and white. The...

    Valve seal replacement

    To summarize: Question: Should I use air pressure, rope trick, or pull the head. Answer: yes. :lol: So my 2 cents (1.68 cents after taxes)... with only 88K miles I wouldn't pull the head. Air pressure method is easier and quicker. I prefer the rope method because that's how I've always...

    Bead blasting pistons

    Was reading about someone wanting to buy some used forged pistons on another forum. He posted a picture of the pistons and asked some basic questions about CR, compression height, etc. First response he got was: If those pistons have been bead blasted, and they appear to be. They are trashed...
