that's my fear. we travel often and it's to the point of paranoia. thinking seriously about putting the point trigger back in the '69.
I currently agree whole heartedly with the above statement. I've just spent past 4 days with an 06 911 with a key locked in the ignition with no way to remove but to ship to the dealer. Really burns my hind quarters because i can swing a wrench with best of them but this is computational brain box magic that is stopping me from success. So i get in my 02 325 after a week and that is throwing code after code of cam sensors and stalling as well as instrument cluster deciding to just stop altogether. So for lack of other mobility that i trust at the moment i swing by the storage unit to visit the old girl first time since 4th of july and fires up on second crank and leaks a little from the fuel line to carb two twists and right as rain. so if you know anyone in the market for a 911 let me know. Im changing my fleet from european to old reliable machines that you can fix with a wrench and beer.
One of my current daily drivers is my 1968 Bronco. It has a very simple 1990 Mustang 5.0 with fuel injection, power steering conversion, front disc brakes, a NP-435 truck transmission, Air conditioning, and a retro stereo that looks stock. No matter how many miles I put on it, it continues to appreciate in value. The 66 Chrysler New Yorker is my weekend vehicle of choice as it is smooth, quiet and comfortable and great for weekend drives. I will not make any modifications other than disc brakes to the Chrysler. I will do everything I can to maintain it and keep it running perfect and I'm sure it will retain its value better than any modern or late model car.
I browsed that black '69 coupe while I was shopping. I agree it seems high even at the lower price.
Marv Please tell us about your three 81-83 Imperials in the back ground. Two Franks? Love your red 72 Coupe! Is this the Imp you restored? We have chatted on another forem about your yellow 72 your parting out. My two Franks, The non sun roof 82 I recently sold. My 81 Frank with sun roof and still injected! One of about none with still working EFI, Frank Sinatra and sun roof!
"Lil Red" was the two door @DocMcNeedy owned. I looked at it when he had it at Unique auto going over it.
Why did you let her go ?
I unfortunately thinned the herd during the early scare of the Virus in 2020-2021. We were forced to shut down the clinics with no assurance when we could re-open. I didn't know then what I know now. It was a knee jerk reaction, and it was a mistake by me.
Sorry, I kind of got into a selling mode, needed to open up some room in the shop before this winter. I had 3 72 coupes, so Lil Red was in the worst shape of the three, and I knew I would never get to it to get it where I would like. I tend to want all of my cars to be show quality. I sold it to a nice young gentleman in Chicago. Doc, let me know, and I will give you his info. I owe him a interior door pull as first thing when I got it, the drivers side broke apart. I have a 73 parts car that I will get one of the door pulls (you have to remove the door card, I will do that and pull the windo motor and assembly and the door lock solenoids) and send to him.
