A few years back, my wife's grandmother had an older bowtie. It started to stumble badly went pulling off and at certain time. Started and idled good just problem when giving it gas. Took it to a dealership several times. They replaced all the expected items including plugs, wires, points (yes...

I was laid off back in January. Just started a new job today with a higher pay rate. :toothy10: Thank goodness for unemployment, it at least paid the bills (or at least most of them) during this period. It will take a while to really get back on my feet but at least this is a big step in...

I really like the Challengers but I consider them more of a crusier. It's bigger then the others which makes it nice for the open road. If you are looking at a Mustang, wait until the 2011s when they are introducing the 400+ hp engine. The current 315hp GT just does not cut it compared to...

WOW very impressive. Once completed, are you going to register it as a 72 or 74? Seems you could do either as you have both vehicles with the appropriate VIN numbers.

Now that is a "first lady" I could get into. Just leave the pimp at home in Chicago.

UH, no comment, too dangerous.

Did you lose your power? Since I have lived here in NC, we have had two big ice storms that resulted in me losing power for a week each time. It really sucks losing power for those long periods. I think I now have that covered. I bought a generator and we have not had a power failure since.

Actually, I think the question was taking parts from Canada to US. In this case he will have to deal with US Customs. I am not sure what is required. I would think you can find the information in the US Customs website. Here is a link to the US Customs site regarding importing vehicles or...

I think the 70 is my favorite roadrunner followed closely by the 68/69. I don't really like the 71 and later. They just look too big.

I watch my mirrors closely when driving, especially on interstates and if I see someone coming up behind me, I will more over when there is a clear space. In most cases, I will be out of the way when the faster vehicle gets there. What gets me mad is someone who is approaching fast (in most...

Hmmmm, if I were to run into someone who can pick-up a Hemi and carry it out, I think I would just call him sir. He would have to be a really big. :notworth::notworth::notworth:

Well, look on a bright side. Each time one is crushed, it makes those remaining worth a little more.

About a year ago, my son had his car stolen from his place of work. What upset him the most was that most of his tools were in the trunk and figured they were "long gone". Next day a coworker said he saw his car abandoned in the middle of a street in downtown Charlotte, NC. Contacted police who...

Quick, someone needs to grab it now. It's now only $8,000. I feel sure that once he get the speedometer working it will go back up to $10,000.

My daughter will be taking her drivers test tomorrow. She is driving my wife's ford escort for now until I get the Duster fixed up a little. Going to add Disk brakes and AC to make it a little better daily driver. Will most likely add an external CD player as I don't want to remove the...

Please ramcharger, do not use those 4 letter words around here. (The dreaded S... word.) I am not ready for this discussion. I am just getting used to Summer and I am not ready for it to end.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it works out. Last Monday, I got a call that I was selected for a local contract position to start 9/21. Tuesday and Wednesday, contracting company rushed through paperwork, background check, setup payroll, corporate E-Mail, etc. Thursday morning UPS back...

Meguires Ultimate Detailer. Been a long time since I washed the "show off" cars. After a drive, I just wipe down the car with this detailer and its ready to go for the next outing.

Thanks for posting. Regardless of how much it was staged, I think the final statement would be true either way in that the driver of the BelAire would be fatal. Back then, the cars did not have seat belts, no collapsible steering wheel, metal non padded dash, etc. There is no question that...

Next time someone is talking about the "global" environment and how we are messing it up, as them what would happen to the "global" environment if the US cut its oil usage in half. (Just talking about the environment and not the ecomony.) NO, the "global" environment will not get better...

Today's cars are designed and built mostly to government mandated standards limiting what can be built. Has to meet certain milage standards, safety standards, emission standards, etc. etc. Now think about this, the same people want to bring you your healthcare. As with cars, one size...

Mine is 30x40 and currently has 5 cars stored in it. The 2 daily drivers have to stay outside. Truthfully, the banks owns it along with the house. I pay monthly so I can tell everyone that I own it.

PS; In case you may not have determined this, my garage contains Mopars, Chevys and Fords so I got all the bases covered. ;-) :-) :-) (just no ricers)

Love this thread. As other has stated, the true Hi-Pro 289 was the K code and were very quick if properly maintained and a low gear (at least 4:11). Biggest problem, people wanted to modify them and it seems with each change they just got slower and slower. Not one else brought up the 71 Boss...

Good find, looks like a great base to start with especially with all that orginial stuff. Regarding the fuel pump. Most likely gas sat in the tank and turned to sluge and the pick-up in the tank is stopped up. Please swap out that old tank and pick-up. This will save you a lot of headaches...

Currently unemployed......dam* the economy. When working, I am an IT (information technology) consultant. In this business, I work on projects. Once one completes I go to another project. Temporary periods of unemployment is normal so I am enjoying the weather until the next project shows...

Just bringing this back to the top. Sounds like a real test drive is close. Follow the link on ABodySickness post for his blog.

Renegadebuck - I had a guy in China Grove redo the seats on my wife's 72 Duster. His company is Classic Interiors (if my memory serves me, which is getting very questionable). He did a great job. Seats done in vinyl with cloth seat areas. He also put in new carpet and fixed a few other odds and...

Greeting from Kannapolis, NC and welcome aboard.

I was working the the Financial Services until last Friday. At this time I am working off my remaining vacation followed by several weeks of severance followed by unemployment. Jobs in the Financial industries are scarce with all the major bank mergers and layoffs. I am hoping something...
