[FOR SALE] - 1968 Plymouth GTXI don't want to sell either of mine but I want a early B body too. There's a 63 Dodge 330 not far away and a nice 65 Coronet too. I really want a 64 Dodge. I like the style. Oh ya, I found out where my old 69 Super Bee is. (a 15 min. drive from home) I should check it out.
Damn, I only have room for 2 cars and I pay storage for those.

Steering box is no fun. Had the pressure/return lines cooperated i would just about be done. Instead it involves heat and an air hammer. Oil everywhere under this van.
Finally, got lines loose and steering box swapped. Just need to re-install lines and snug it all up. Dirty job. But somebody has to do it.
Holy downpour Darwin! 3 1/2" in less than an hour.
The wifee cam home for lunch and just left to go back. Got half way back to City Hall and stopped because of street flooding.
Its done. Suggested he unload that thing before it starts getting real expensive. Too late. Good for my books though.
Wow I need rain but not that much
Then he reminds me to check a/c. Big leak. I am not able to deal with it. I have to be licenced to open or service air conditioning here in manitoba

Spent an hour putzing around on my little tractor. Pulled steering column out, used my hydraulic press and pushed it apart. Polished the bushings and lubed.
Its ready to back in. Can at least steer it now. Transmission next. It dont shift.

Yea, it's on my list too. I'm kinda broke and like an idiot, I prioritized going to tomorrowland and they canceled it this year and I lost some money, on top of being kinda brokish this year.

The last car I will buy for the rest of my life, is going to be a 72 or 71 (72 preferred) valiant 4 door sedan.I have for years been on the hunt for a 64 Sport fury Convertible, so I always had "enough" cash to buy one if I found it. No longer, I am real happy with the 66 Satellite convertible I got last year. Thanks Keith!!!
I need to start saving and then pursue it. OR trade an existing car If the right deal came up.
Either way, there's always THAT car you are always pursuing.
Believe it or not, I’ve started a small fund to buy my dream car as well, a 1970 340 Cuda. Only a couple hundred bucks in it, but I hope to one day find the right one. Fully restored of course. Probably when I retire if they still have gasoline by then
One of my kids has 71 Valiant 4 door...
The other has a 68 Valiant Signet 4 door...
Back home for the night. Trash is out, garden watered and that shower sure felt good after a very sweaty day at Carlisle. Next 2 days shouldn't be too bad. Just hope this rain coming up the coast doesn't shift in. Looks like Philly is getting a good bit tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure he's getting wet tomorrow.
I have bought my last old car, no question about that.......Just need to restore it now!!!!
