    Ok then 2000 through the next month. Boat fix up money. After that its really too late in the season and the boat will have to wait till spring.

    Any takers at 2500$. Its road trip ready! Yea the paint and top need doing but you are not going to find one in this sort of rust free and solid mechanical condition.

    FOR SALE 88 5th Ave for sale Lynchburg, VA

    89fith. NY is not that far. :) Maybe we could work something out. Meet in DC? (I could take the train back.) This thing it up to a highway drive. Jonny... I could take it to your relatives, and they could store it? Do a relative visit and drive back? Pick you up at the airport? You get to VA...

    FOR SALE 88 5th Ave for sale Lynchburg, VA

    Not even a nibble? This is at its heart a nice car that needs paint and a top. All the hard to fix stuff either is not broke or had been fixed (like the front suspension bushings). Make me an offer I cant refuse.

    I would rather someone on this forum buy this than some one local that would most likely just trash it out. Video tour. If you are interested contact me though DM.

    Here is why the book is just wrong on driving the rivets out. When the factory assembled the bars to the tubes they used a great honking hydraulic press and squeezed the rivet shaft out into the slightly larger bore of the sleeves. That locked the two parts together nicely but complicates...

    You Don't See This Everyday

    I when I saw that blue 5th I had to check the garage. "Dude someone stole my 5th and drove it to CA.!" Youse guys up there in cold country sure have a lot of nice FMJ stuff driving around.

    Autocrossing or as some people call it "Killing Cones"

    Lets face it Chrysler cars were not great handlers out of the box compared to equivalent GM and Ford coil sprung cars. And are harder to modify into a good handlers (parts labor) than said other brands. We did have a Challenger back years ago that was an autocross beast. But it had NASCAR bars...

    Lean Burn Conversion 101

    In the same vein as my earlier post. I would love to put a late TBI 318/360 pullout into my 85 Ramcharger (as in NO computer). I would get mileage, power, drive-ability like the Holly 2bbl as good as it is, will never give. Depending on what deal you can get at the junk yard it might be the most...

    Lean Burn Conversion 101

    Just for the record. Summit has the dist-box-wiring kit under their Proform brand for 150 USD. But I wouldn't do this without some effort to get the original system working. Especially if its the one with the O2 sensor-closed loop. They work rather well. Its usually not the electronics. I just...

    Is finding parts for "FMJ' Bodies as fun as finding parts for 'C' Bodies?

    I am just happy to have granny's 5TH. Which is is fairly good shape and relatively low miles. The paint and soft top need attention though. I hope when the time comes there is someone left that can redo the top.
