Hey Bob - just found this. Congrats! They are definitely high quality cars as you saw. Trying to remember if the number is 514 or 541 convertibles for '66. Lowest of the 3 yrs as I recall. Looks well-optioned, tilt/tele wheel and the 420 AM/FM wonderbar radio. Even Matt's power vents. Only thing...

Just got back from picking up the offspring at school. It was gone, likely before I left to get her. Definitely not an April Fool's joke, although my mental state remains a mystery. As Paul Harvey used to say, "And now....the REST of the story..." If you look at the first photo closely, you'll...

Had to run a part for the Imp over to the shop this morning. As I headed down Rt 234 near my house, I saw what looked like an old, not-roadworthy Mopar sitting next to the highway. For those not familiar with northern VA, 234 is considered one of the busiest roads in northern VA as a lot use it...

Forgot to add - the generator is bolted to the frame of the trailer. The guy who has it now had it lifted and turned 90 degrees to sit between the rails and over the axles for a lower CoG. He also added a battery box, 2 new batteries, a transfer switch and a tank that looks to be off a Kenworth...

Exactly. Been dealing with other issues here and haven't gotten back to it. Brokers find loads w/space. Direct calls to carriers do the same. Sites like UShip let them search for customers to fill needs, I'm sure there are others as well. As to the trailer, it's part of the deal and makes it...

We're under a tornado watch here until 10PM. Something like 12 twisters so far between Richmond and Fredericksburg which is maybe 25 miles south of here. A few good frog stranglers this afternoon but otherwise we're getting off with a mere nudge in northern VA. Gary, any damage to the buildings...

Thanks Stan, I hadn't thought about UPS Freight. Wonder if they do open hauling? I will definitely give them a call to get some idea. Not Right - thanks very much for the detailed info. Yes, I have considered going to get it myself though I no longer have a truck to tow with. Still, I could fly...

I know there are a bunch of truck folks on here, former and current, hopefully someone can give me a pointer or two. Sitting in Salem, Oregon is a 20kw DD generator that needs to come to northern VA. It's lashed to a dual axle car trailer with 4 new tires. If I had to guess the weight I'd say...

Glad to hear you and Gary made it through okay, Bob. Also nice to know Jer is okay, and anyone else in the path of what ended up being a massive water event. They're saying now it could be 1-2 weeks before all the water dumped in the center and west of the state makes its way to the coast, so...

Certainly will. There are a few issues that need addressing, like the hesitation or 'stumble' that was introduced by the shop that cleaned and sealed the tank and installed the new fuel pump. They also decided to remove and clean the carb along with giving it a complete tune up despite only a...

We made it! Hard to believe or maybe not? Made a good checklist of items to do or check, put together spares & tools, and left a day earlier for better weather conditions. Had a good friend from back home along for the ride, got him a plane ticket home and took him to a couple of the museums...

Thank you, guys. Thought you might enjoy seeing the old beast. Space? You could have a picnic in either the front or back seats. Plenty of leg room and head room. I posted some shots of it a few years back after we got the radiator in, complete with barn dust. The day I took these shots it was...

Yep, the Imperial has once again taken a back seat to more pressing matters. In this case - bringing dad's car home to northern VA from VT. Dad got the car as sort of a father-son project after he retired from the granite industry so we'd have something to tinker on, drive around, maybe take to...

Found some additional photos from 2014 when a few of us attended in John's '47 Packard, the only old car he had then aside from the '65 Imp stored in MN. It's the one under the cover in the above photos. Sure enough - there's that yellow '68(?) Mobile Director. Same care that did the drive thru...

Working great here, Joey. Speedy as all hell. As a fellow website co-owner and former mainframer who lived through numerous OS upgrades and migrations, I understand some of what's involved. Especially that initial "is it here, or am I going back to reload?". :eek: Thanks for your hard work.

Most welcome. It's encouraging to see a lot of interest in preserving and restoring/rebuilding these old relics - no matter where you go in the country. They had similar little weekend shows in NC & VT. Rip - will try to get up there in October so we can meet up. Might actually have the...

Most amazing thing about that Fury to me is what he paid: somewhere around $6500(!) It came out of OK or Kansas. Goes down the road like a new car and the steering wheel has sparkly crap embedded in it. Truly over the top by today's standards, and it was 'only' a Plymouth - not a Chrysler or...

It was a fantastic day, for sure. I slept well when I got back home that night. Mt Airy is about 74 miles north, not a bad drive. Here are a few of the other cars at the meet. Interesting that there were two separate groupings of white Fords with white Chevys. Wonder if they planned it that way?

A few shots of the Plymouth. It has 50K original miles, still had the original spare in the trunk w/1961 date code. Appears to have been touched up in a couple places but overall is very original, just beautiful. Wish I'd gotten a shot of the Forward Look decal on the back window. Got a good...
