My 75 has an alarm. It will go off seemingly by itself sometimes.

I remember looking at popular mechanics magazine as a kid and wanting one badly, even ordered a brochure from Struck. Can't say I want one that bad now but I wish I had half this guys skills. http://www.minidozerbuild.com/p/index.html

Not far from me. I've seen this car in Grand Forks before. https://grandforks.craigslist.org/cto/4878721817.html

...With a nice C body in it at around the 1:50 mark. Is that a 72 Polara? Gotta love those 70's action flicks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uRLgeEepzg

Grand Forks did name a sewage lift station after Dave Barry.

Every thanksgiving I think back to the year 1997, the last Thanksgiving I really look back fondly on. My wife and two year old daughter along with my parents traveled some 500 miles to the Black Hills of SD to visit my sister and brother in-law. Dad decided we'd all be more comfortable in his...

I had an 87 5th back in the mid 90's. Other than bad paint it and going through multiple alternators it was a great car. I once got 27 mpg on a trip to Minneapolis with it. It did have a sort of mushy feel in the way it handled that I didn't care for.

My Father had an 88 NY it had a serious case of garage disease. It was the last Chrysler he ever owned.

Hauled her away today. My father in law who lives in the country agreed to let it stay there until I can find a home for the 72 NYB (anyone interested?) As you can see she's far from perfect, she's got some wounds I don't know if that front fender can be repaired I may be looking for a...

Nice find. Love that Newport. Can't say I remember it on tv I was probably busy gnawing on my pacifier at the time.

Got it pulled out of the shed and went over it with a pressure washer. It's not as nice as it looks here the 5mp phone pics seem to embellish it. It started up when we poured gas down the carburator but wouldn't pull fuel from the tank. The trunk had mice nests but wasn't chewed up too bad...

I had a 79 volare sedan once upon a time. It had the leaning tower without power with low oil pressure, I put a piece of electrical tape over the idiot light so I didn't have to look at it anymore. It was a rattletrap cheeseball of a car but would have started right up in Antarctica and never...
