I'm right there with you. I was thinking the same price based on the roof configuration. In 2013, I paid $500 for this.... This car ran and drove fine. It had some front floor pan rust that I did a quickie repair on. I drove it home, 70+ miles. Slant six of course.... I sold it on ebay...

I stand by my comments I made before. Some of the car owners on the show look like the type of fair weather enthusiasts that couldn't change a spark plug by themselves. I can see the future for them...The car gets put together by this crew, they leave and a couple of weeks down the road...

My 1990 360 also fits the roller cam/LA rocker shaft group. The block itself has taller lifter bosses to better support the taller roller lifters but you can still use a standard flat tappet cam and lifter setup.

I like it when I use an obscure reference and someone actually gets it. Clever and observant can make things interesting.

The Motor Trend channel has a marathon of Garage Squad going today. I've seen episodes from 2020 and maybe 2021? Everyone wearing masks.... I see that stuff and it makes me think of a guy thinking back of all the skanky one night stands he had years ago....Memories that you tried to just put...

You write like an engineer. I see words there that probably make sense despite written in a cryptic manner. I see that you list 1537 Paper Street. Is that a Fight Club reference?

I guess I'll stow away my gold and diamond pinky ring too...

Over the years, I had a few Camaros and Firebirds. The 1970-81 F bodies were all great looking cars in my opinion.

Holy cow, what a nice thing to add. Thanks, man!

That is true. I was under the assumption once that the guys at the NAPA store knew cars. I asked a guy once Have you ever used this stuff? Uhh, I actually don't work on cars.

Thanks, I don't either. I figured when I asked for plugs, I'd be told of the standard plugs that came in these engines. I forgot that their computers default to the high end stuff. No, that fits the description of my neighborhood. I'm a mile from the lake, no crime, million and multi-million...

That is a bit more fancy that I have done in the past but is a good idea. Thank you.

Oh yeah, at 415,000 miles, I've changed the plugs in my truck a few times. It got worse in the 2009 and later trucks with the engine tucked in even further than my 2007. I can change the plugs in about 90 minutes and even then, I'm embarrassed. Shoot, man....Old cars are easy! This was a NAPA...

What the heck, man? Is there something about my face that projects a false impression of affluence? Does daily showering and a full set of teeth somehow lead them to aim for the diamond/platinum parts? Spark plugs. Come on, man.....does a beater 67 Dart really need platinum or iridium spark...
