    Throwing in the towel on my 68 Barracuda project.

    Thank you all for the kind words and your thoughts. I have been considering this for some time now, even before the health issues. I have owned the Barracuda for 12 or 15 years and have enjoyed it immensely. I don't see myself finishing it and would love for it go to someone who would. I have...

    Best damned Christmas present in a very, VERY long time !!!

    X2.........The current prices are a step in the right direction but $2.00 + gas prices are still way to high. The lower gas prices are infusing 375 million dollars per day into the US economy. For once the little man is reaping a benefit. Unless you are an oilfield worker or otherwise...

    Trying to identify this.

    My 68 Barracuda has something like that. Can't remembers it's proper name but it has to do with the light ring that goes around the in dash ignition switch.

    PG Classics problems?

    I have dealt with BE&A a few times and was very happy with the parts and customer service. Also, they (BE&A) come very highly recommended by members of other boards. I have heard very few positive remarks for those dealing with Classic Industries and personally, will never buy from them. My...

    I guess I didn't repond fast enough?

    If you really wanted the starter, the correct response to the ad should have been "I'll take it. Please send a final price with shipping included to zip code 12345. If the shipping price seems outrageous, you can always back out of the sale. Also shipping expenses are very easy to...

    Heater box

    I did my 68 non AC recently. The cardboard fit the contour and IIRC, it is held in place with metal clips. What did you use on the outside finish? That looks awesome!! Russ

    Selling parts and lack of manners.

    In summation of all the issues/positions brought forth in this thread, An old friend of mine had a favorite saying about buying or selling and it fits perfectly here. "Money Talks and Bull **** Walks"

    Selling parts and lack of manners.

    The terms of a sale is always dictated by the seller.............He has every right to sell to anyone he wants to or set conditions for a sale anyway acceptable to him.

    Warning scammer!!!

    Question: Is it legal (in Ohio) to transfer a vehicle title from one state to another without a vin tag and in this situation, a title not in the name of the actual seller? In Pa it certainly is not. Also, isn't the dash vin tag a DOT requirement? I would be careful about...

    In a lot of states, it is not legal to sell a vehicle without a vin attached or 3rd party title transfers.

    Vinyl on A-pillar?

    Stephen, I believe your vinyl should stop at the top of the A-pillar. There are little eye brow shaped trim pieces that fit between the drip edge and upper corner of the windshield trim and covers the top edge. Be certain to leave enough vinyl on top of the A-pillar for the trim...

    Diesel Dodge Dart Concept

    I drove both and I'll say it again, the 3.0 TD was impressive. No one said it was bigger. The diesel is rated to tow the same as the 5.7 Hemi

    Diesel Dodge Dart Concept

    2014 Jeep GC's are available with a V-6 3.0 turbo diesel, 240 HP/420 torque. Recently, I drove one and must say its performance was impressive. I guess its a stretch but the new eco diesel as it's called could be considered a mopar engine. Try fitting that into one of our A-bodies.......

    The dealer got back to me a bit ago. He claims his research revealed the front bumper, right fog light and core support was replaced due to a deer hit. Its a very nice 2009 Mercury Mountaineer Premier with 30,200 miles, $17,000. I'm going to take it for a test drive and if I like it, I'll do as...

    Carfax Question

    Hi all, I'm looking at a 2009 used vehicle. It has a Carfax report of having sustained structural damage but does not elaborate other than to say no report of airbag deployment. Is there any way of obtaining more specific information explaining the damage in more detail...

    Grease Wind shield wipers?

    Here's a thought... How about drilling a small hole, just enough to allow a grease needle to pass through. Maybe drilled at an upward angle to make it easier to reach with the needle on a flex hose with a mini grease gun? I am not a fan of the drive in zirks. Russ

    opinions on my '65

    X-2, Sell it as is and offer the other engine/parts as a package. Let the new owner do the work before he learns what a money pit these cars actually are. Russ
