I had a Marantz just like that in '78.

I made one of these as a kid for my 68 Cutlass 4 door. A Heathkit capacitive discharge ignition kit.

Dynaco was ready made or kit form. Very highly sought after today. Another great American Company.

I'm driving a Vietnam vet in one tomorrow. So few convertibles around anymore that they have to settle for t-tops. Of course, it's still better than using a Mercedes to drive around WWII vets, which personally disgusts me.

I got some photos today. Good ol' fashioned parade.

Beautiful wasn't it? It may have been Japanese by then but great quality none the less.

Oh and for those who say their old timey cars need crazy contraptions not to overheat... it was in the 90s and speed was 2 mph.

While my modern cell phone had this to say...

Dynaco was really good stuff. I bought the PAT-4 pre-amp kit and the ST-120 power amp kit. I think I still have them both on a shelf downstairs.

I removed the thermostat from my phone for better flow.

I still got mine. As a matter of fact, I have 2 of these, 1 for parts!

An old man with a hat...and a lot of car knowledge...and an attitude.
