I'd be interested to know the ethnic breakdown in the upholstery shop at SMS. Are they using the hard-working folks from Mexico? If ICE goes in there think of how long the wait could be...

Not VIP....POS!

Here's a '68 Polara that sold on Hemmings auctions yesterday. I don't know how much the "buyer's fees" are, but considering the condition of the car, it seems like a pretty good deal. https://www.hemmings.com/listing/1968-dodge-polara-974924/sold

That undercarriage would be considered pristine by Ohio standards!

It's always seems to me that the sounds engines make are always distorted in videos. Someone will start and engine and comment on how good it sounds, but in the video it sounds like your NYer.
