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...
