Where I grew up in Maryland, they were called Bob's Big Boy. I believe there were also Shoney's Big Boy restaurant's in other parts of the country. The food was awesome, especially the hot fudge ice cream cake for dessert. You would think they would have enough repeat customers to keep the place...

I think you will do quite well once you find your market niche. My truck driving instructor once pointed out a small wood shop in Texas that made tables from the slabs of huge tree trunks. Each one was a unique creation and sold for around $900. They had a waiting list of wealthy customers lined...

Back when I drove a truck for Swift I grew a beard. After I returned home for good my wife made me shave it off. She kept calling me a terrorist or homeless and would not stop campaigning against it until I finally got rid of it. Now she's still hounding me to lose the 50 pounds I gained driving...

Here's a vendor selling dart models http://www.alldiecast.us/diecast_car.php?id=4331

Dogtown and Z boys is a very good documentary. Team Zephyr impacted their favorite sport in the same manner that Tiger Woods helped to transform his favorite sport. About two decades earlier, though.

My pops bought a '79 Aspen wagon new 35 years ago. Eggshell white with red interior. The wagon is long gone, no one in the family was driving it so it got sold. This is the only photo I have of that wagon. It was so new it still had its temporary tags, the front plates weren't on it yet...

I've never been to Chrysler's famous proving grounds myself, but according to photos there is this very steep hill located there. OK it's a 32% grade according to the sign. Makes sense as they need to simulate stresses their products will face out in the real world. One photo is of the 1966 Hemi...

Hi, I think I received a friend request, sounds OK to me.

1979 movie "The Jerk" - Dodge Dart Here's the clip on Youtube, car appears at the 1:25 mark The Jerk (7/10) Movie CLIP - He Hates These Cans! (1979) HD - YouTube

A few that I remember; How about the bad guys' GTX from the movie "52 Pick-up" Or the Steve Lisk '71 Pro-Stock Challenger, notorious in the 70's Detroit street racing scene. Also featured in Hot Rod, Car& Driver articles around 1976 or so.

Yep, doors and hood open. And I agree that if your kids were to find it, they would play with it like they would any average toy. They don't get that "For display only" stuff. :banghead:

Sometimes truck stops sell models like these. Don't know if you have Love's Travel stop or Flying J truck stops in Canada, but they also occasionally stock model muscle cars, usually made by a company called Jada Toys. Often sold without the box, so little items like mirrors and wipers are often...

My local Tractor Supply store put a batch of these '71 Duster 340 die casts for sale. Last year I missed out on a batch of the same models, only in Sassy Grass green. They remind me of the Johnny Lightning "magna" series of models from years ago. This time around, I bought one before they sold...

Not mine, saw this on CL, hope it's OK to post. Has anyone been looking for one of these factory A-body sunroofs? http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/ptd/4329433725.html

Saw this on craigslist, not my car or my ad. Looks pretty good for the price! If it's all original, it should be equipped with the E58 code 360 four barrel. http://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/4049075606.html
