A friend of mine got in touch with me the other day. She has a friend that has terminal cancer and is looking to get rid of stuff. He has a 65 Valiant Signet, 273 AT, that looks pretty nice and he used to use it as a driver. He also has a 73 Javelin, which I know nothing about, other than it is...

It doesnt matter what the state laws are. Altering a VIN is a federal offense. Also, selling a vehicle "as is" does not protect a seller from selling a vehicle with an altered VIN. It also does not protect the seller if he intentionally commits fraud or does not disclose known defects. A guy I...

Quite a few years ago, I took a challenger dash to Carlisle to sell. I got it along with some other parts and didnt need it. It was from a desire able car and still had the VIN plate attached. As per pa law, I cut the VIN tag in half. You wouldnt believe how many people ran over and stopped...

I read somewhere that the electricity to charge electric cars has a higher carbon footprint than if you are running a modern gasoline powered car because of the power plant emissions. Don't know how true that is. Course, if the coal fired power plants all switch over to natural gas or...

Back in the 30's they created the WPA. Unemployed people got assistance in exchange for working on government projects. That's how a lot of our roads, bridges, and public buildings got built. Today you get assistance for doing nothing, and our bridges and roads are deteorating because there...

Use the #600 role for the final pass.

Honey, your mother will LOVE, riding in here.

"Are we there yet?"

Chuck Norris thinks it's for sissies.

I dont think I've ever seen any type of factory hood scoop(s) on the 1964-1965 Barracudas, so I was just wondering if any type of factory scoops or different hoods were available for those years.

Since I'm totally ignorant on the subject, what is the difference between the 70-71 and 72-74 seats? I thought they were all the same.:???:
