That's a clean old wagon. Why do folks always toss the battery box? The only thing I'd do to it is swap out the wheels and tires and drive it.

The back lot was always where the deals were. My high school years were 79-83 and I remember seeing E and B bodies that people were trading in for new K cars. Those E and B bodies could be bought for a song back then and if I'd have had a crystal ball I'd have bought all of them I could afford...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them all a try. I was leery about using heat for the reasons stated but I'll try it before I give up completely. Most of the time when this happens I don't worry too much about it since new pre-bent lines can be sourced but that's not the case for the J body...

I've had good service with Classic Auto Air. They helped with the last 3-4 conversions I've done. If you have the old piston type compressor, they have an adapter bracket that will bolt to the OEM bracket and it has ears to mount the Sanden type compressor. They can also make the hoses but if...

I've been replacing the old brake hoses on our Cordoba and hit a snag. The fronts went fine but in the back I had some trouble. I was able to break the line loose from the hose but the tubing is seized inside the fitting. I've been soaking it in PB Blaster for the last couple days but still no...

My old hometown paper put out this blurb on United Motor Company in this weeks paper. They were the Chrysler dealer there for many years. The pic shows the north side of the dealership. My high school backed up to the south side of the dealership. The south side was the back lot so instead of...

If you watch Counts Customs, a few years ago Roli customized one of those Citi cars. He improved it, but it was still a Citi car.

We also have a co-op that supplies our electricity. I got notice back in Nov. 2019 that I had a "consumer credit" of $91. The credit is only available as a credit towards your electric bill. As of today, they have yet to apply it to my bill. I called them this week and asked when I could expect...

Don't feel bad about cutting on your MII Rattle Trap, they made a whole bunch of them and they will likely never be worth what the 65-70 models are. The King cobras, Mach 1's, and the cobras are just now starting to bring decent money but even they aren't bringing what a 65-70 model brings in...

Ah... the old Bullitt conundrum. Great movie. It ended better for the Mustang... I just think the Charger looked a little better in '68. The Bullitt Mustang just sold a couple months ago for 3.4 mil plus buyers premium. My personal opinion is that all manufacturers put out their best models...

We live way too far out in the country for an electric car to be feasible but I like the idea of electrics. Electricity can be made from solar, wind and hydro which don't involve burning fossil fuels or dealing with nuke waste. Although the waste from the rare earth metals in batteries could...

Between the 70 RR and '70 Charger I'd have to go with the Plymouth. Now if it was '69 models it would definitely be the Charger. IMO the '69 Charger is one of the best looking cars ever built. Of the hide away headlight cars I like the look of the Charger best - and I'm a Ford guy. The Camaro is...

I bought that Volare in late 1985 from a friend of my dad's and traded it around '89-'90. The Monza was a fun car...when it ran. It had a worked 350 with a TH 350 trans. Unfortunately, it always wanted to run hot and the 7.5" ring gear was not up to the task. I replaced the rear end 2-3 times...

That abortion is not a Mustang.

I think the plaid just says the 70's, that's why I like them. Back then there were other interior colors to chose from other than gray and beige, which I also like. The interior in our Cordoba is red and the seats are red crushed velour. Someone chose the blind pimp decor package when picking...

I rarely drink any sodas, if I'm thirsty it's tea or water but I drink a lot of black coffee in the morning and occasionally in the evening if it's really cold out. Aspen500, good luck with quitting smoking, it's tough. I quit over 25 years ago but I still crave one from time to time...

The wife really likes margaritas, thanks for the recipe. Personally, I only drink bourbon with some ice, preferably Four Roses but Wild Turkey is also a favorite. Anyone else imbibe? If so, what's your poison?

You've got a sweet looking wagon OY78 and three pedals makes it really cool. I personally think the white letter or plain black walls look much better with the road wheels than white walls. I just turned the white walls in on my car. It has the 5 on 5 wheels and I think it looks so much cleaner...

Here's a pic of our old Volare shortly after I repainted it around 1987. I removed all the side trim and hood trim because I thought it looked cleaner. Traded this car for a v-8 Monza. I wished I still had the Volare and wished I'd have never seen that Monza. Without a doubt the worst trade I...

Good looking wagon. Looked it up on Gateway's website and the car is down in their Atlanta showroom and they're asking $8500 for it. Not a bad price... for Gateway.

I don't know what he's talking about it's so ugly it's pretty. That's a good looking wagon. Check out all the options - Tilt, rear window defroster, int wipers, remote pass mirror, AM/FM, chronometer and cruise ....on a /6. Very unusual. Those plaid seats are showing up a lot here lately. Gotta...

That blue Volare brings back a lot of memories. My wife and I got married in a car very similar to that one. Ours had a blue interior with the 60/40 bench but was a Jamaican blue SE just like this one. What a blast from the past and what a nice looking car.

8T2TOP that pic reminds me of the sunset in "Easy Rider" when they get to the Indian burial grounds.

Very nice car. I normally don't care for the monkey vomit greens but this one looks good. Price seems a little high but not absurd for such a clean car. Ad says N Phoenix and it looks like SW background but the tag says Colorado.
