    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    i don't understand what your goal is here? My goal is manifold. But, in part, it's to understand why a forum thread about a car turns into a figurative jousting tournament. Someone has a differing opinion or irritating online personality.... full speed ahead, run 'em through! admonishing me...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Actually, I don't understand. That's why I'm responding to this thread. You choose your actions. No one else is responsible for that. Interesting you picked out another lofty haughty phrase.

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    Dan might be off base. Whatever. You are missing my point even though you pointed it out in your own post (#34). You said "imagine". You can't base comps on imagined circumstances. (drunk idiot..., mom's old car .....) Certainly, not rational to expect someone else to base their comps on...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    So you agree that Dan is just giving his opinion. "any sane person i would take a look at the comps before making a decision on value" Dan claims to do the very same thing by looking at Marketplace and CL. So, he must be sane and as such; realistic in his assessment. His opinion does not fit...

    Pink 70 340 Duster goes for $62K on Mecum

    To be an arbitrator, would mean he sets the value on Dusters. He has an opinion on it's value just like everyone else on this thread. So, if you are shopping for a Duster and a guy is selling a run of the mill /6 Duster with o.k. paint,etc and wants $26k for it. Are you going to say to yourself...

    Have a 340 short block 2B304157,

    hoping to reunite it with the original car. Was told it came from a '72 Cuda. Listed For Sale on FEBO. The VIN stamp is not so good. Looks like the machine bounced.

    Advice on buying junkyard engines?

    I"ve bought 4 engines from salvage sources. 2 came with 30 day warranty. I borescope the cylinders. Pull a valve cover to look at the amount of sludge build up. Look for clues of abuse or hack maintenance. The 2 engines with warranty; I installed them and drove it. Really didn't do much for...

    Michigan Christmas Lights

    I say it's intentional. As another example, look up phallic symbols in Disney art. Or sexual graphics in Disney. "Lion King" has at least one. This stuff is presented subtly and incrementally. The town I live near has street ornaments with candles. The candles are vertical with a wreath...

    Random pictures thread

    Right. By law everyone onboard must have a seat and be seated. Went like this: I went to the Frontier website and put in my origin airport and destination. The page pops up and says "we have low fares to Phoenix for $65.00 *one way." Great! I book two round trip tickets for two people. $260.00...

    Frontier. Airbus A320. By the way, for those that have not flown Frontier. Those advertised low fares are just paying for the airplane to get to the destination. If you want a seat on the airplane, you have to pay extra. No kidding.
