Presumably stolen by whoever has the initials "FS"?

I never realized until now how many variations of 2-tone paint schemes were available on 1958 Dodges!

This is a bit off-topic, but since you seem to have quite a collection of old equipment, would you have the paperwork for a Marquette Model 365-B distributor stroboscope? Mine is in good working condition (or was last time I used it!) but if it ever breaks it would be helpful to have the...

Oh, the swept-back taillights aren't also referred to by that name? I thought the straight-up style that looks more like a cathedral archway came first, but it was used to describe both variations. Thanks for clarifying that.

Ooh, those had Packard's "cathedral" taillights which are popular with customizers.

The guy selling it said he didn't know it was intended to be a boat, not that it wasn't built to be a boat. Aren't all RV's ugly? I mean, unless they're converted from a Scenicruiser bus that is. ;) If that's just the standard drivetrain from a truck, I bet it will have problems with water...

And all the extra legroom is in the back seat, so your passengers are riding like rockstars. When I was truck shopping there were only the Quadcab and the Megacab, and my kid's car seat didn't fit in the Quadcab. I was surprised that they kept the Megacab for the next gen pickup, which offered a...

Is that a factory Megacab with duallies?

I wouldn't be surprised. Your truck has the HPCR 5.9L without all the troublesome emissions equipment that they added to the 2007 6.7L, and it doesn't have the TIPM electronic fuse panel that they added in 2006. I have a 2007 RAM2500 Mega, manufactured in 2006 calendar year so it has the HPCR...

It's the only one I've ever used so I have nothing to compare it against but it works fine. I took a chance buying it at an outdoor swapmeet, as the vendor was not near a power outlet to plug it in and test it. Thankfully it was in good condition except for the vacuum pump which had dried-out...

I didn't mention this in my previous comment, but the ECU and power supply must be grounded to the chassis of the stroboscope, or directly to the distributor body. Not only is this probably required for it to work, but there shouldn't be any unintended consequences. If there's a preferred...

I setup electronic distributors on my stroboscope. It's just like converting your car to electronic ignition. For a Mopar distributor, you need a Mopar ECU, ECU wiring harness and a 12V regulated bench power supply to power the ECU. (If you don't have a bench power supply, some "smart" battery...

I'm going to guess it's a Cadillac engine.

The implication is that the car has only traveled 1000 miles in the last 30 years.

I would actually buy more myself if I could find any for a better price than what they sell for on eBay. :) We should petition Moebius Models to produce a '66 Chrysler kit. They seem to be the only independent model company left which is designing new automotive styrene kits. They did a 1955...

I'd love to get a hold of one of those 60 DeSoto models. There used to be an old-school hobby shop near me that had a lot of older Johans still on the shelf. I think that's where I picked up the Sox and Martin Superbird. In retrospect I wish I'd bought them all! I have a Johan Turbine with the...

I almost bought a '06 RAM2500 quad cab, short box, RWD, Cummins 5.9L, 6-speed. The original owner had optioned it out to be as economical as possible, then fitted an exhaust brake on it too. He used it to tow a race car trailer, but got out of auto racing and traded it on a Magnum.

I guess Canada is more accepting of these things. There were Plodges and Cheviacs back in the 50's, and they used the same service stations as all the other cars too.

I think he called it "Linc-Volt" or similar. The car's battery charger caught fire and burned down the garage with the car in it. He said he was going to rebuild it.

That's an interesting idea, and at least as useful as a Chevy SSR. If the front clip styling was modified to better match the back half then it might even look good.
