Get ya some of this!

It handled very well without one. I think because it is as light as this model C can be!

You’ve summed it up perfectly! I cuss like a madman every time I have to work on the newer cars. So many wires and connectors for them that might be causing an issue after a few years of service. Plus the extent of engineering employed to make mechanical things as cheaply as possible while...

In your opinion, do you believe that 50 years from now a person will be able to diagnosis and repair a 2023 Lincoln? Or any 2023 car? I think all the gee-gaws and do-dads they put on them now will be so expensive to replace plus the frustration of working on the dang things will make it...

A 2022 Charger 3.6 gets 19 city 30 highway. And you better believe if they could do better, they would. If you wanted to come up with a car that consumes the most gas while delivering the most dismal performance, American full size cars in 1973 is the place to start looking. I’m not bashing...

On a 50 year old car you’ll more than likely have to find out the old fashioned way. Nobody can nail down what you are going to get today. I’d say if you tried your best to light foot it you could get 15mpg average at best. I’m sure others will chime in with 30mpg plus with a 440 pulling a...

Economy isn’t a word associated with carburetor equipped V8 land barges of the 70s. At least not favorably in MPG braggadocio!

I don’t want any kind of stripper with a do-dad on her!

I pulled Mickey out of the garage to put the Oldsmobile in. I’ll be driving Mickey today while working on a noisy power steering pump. That’s why I love a stripper, no stupid power accessories, do-dads and gee-gaws to tend to!

No lifts!! Lol

My problem is that I don’t have a place to store them inside and this one I don’t want to sit out in the sun. I love bringing them back to life though! I have to have a project going on or I’ll go crazy. So if it’s sells the money will go towards another project. Like maybe a place to put...

I drove Mickey to work today which involved some interstate driving. It did better than I expected, and kept up with traffic easily at around 70mph. Also turned over 20k miles on the odometer.

A clip of a fast one-two shift..,

When my alternator gave out I decided to limp out to the place where I got the engine to get a used one for the time being. The old feller wouldn’t let me leave until I took him for a ride. He loved it. He said he would give me my money back for the engine! Lol.. I got a used alternator from an...

Well, the video turned out like crap but I was able to get a close estimate on 0-60. Taking off easy so not to smoke the clutch I got 14.8 seconds to 60 I held it down and got 26 seconds to 80. I only tried it once because the original alternator said , “I’ll be getting out right here” when we...

I entertained doing something like that with this but, that can turn into a rabbit hole real quick. At some point you start sacrificing torque for HP and street manners. This just isn’t the platform to attempt an impressive slant build performance wise. Now, if it were a ratty A, you’d start...

I’ve been on vacation last week and have driven Mickey around some. I have noticed it seems be settling/breaking in, and it’s doing better and better performance wise. This slant 6 recipe would really be fun in a 4/speed A body. Even more with a Super Six 2bbl intake. It’s not a power house by...

Look at the mess of a gap and mis-fit on the door this 67 Chevy has. My car is seen in its slick paint job. Hack job. It gets all the attention! Am I bitter? You damn right! Lol

Hour 3 ,,, I’ve told them it’s a 71 Impala. But I think they are suspicious. A guy drove a 67 Dart in here 20 minutes ago. They dragged him out of it and took him to a wooded area. I haven’t seen him since. I fear the worst…I want to leave but I know the sound of my gear reduction starter...

Typical car show. I’m the only Mopar here. Hey! Check out that ‘57 Chevy!!! Ain’t seen one of them in a while!!
