When I worked in Camden, NJ I made the comment about getting a group rate on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard and somebody said maybe at the clinic too!

During the Seventies and early Eighties my 2 favorite rides were my '65 Imperial Crown Coupe and my '58 Mercedes 220S sedan. Both were comfort at high speed!

@Dart Frog What year is yours. I have a '92. She's my third B350. 360, the only time I call it a 5.9 is at NAPA, 4 speed TF and 3.91 gears. I've had it for 100,000 miles or so and over 10 years. I live in southern New Jersey and for 6 years drove 300 mile round trip every month to a client in...

Looks like the dimple I had to put in my Milodon pan to clear the K-Member in the Max!

I have never autocrossed but I drive hard and fast on the street if you catch my, um, drift. Have you driven your car hard and fast? How does it feel going through a corner or curve? When you go hard through a right hander and the right side pops up and the left side drops do your sphincters...

A friend who raced Max Wedges back in the day said they never broke a ball and trunnion! My Max still has his.

@barbee6043 I am still trying to get my brother to buy your car that he learned to drive on. It looks like the one my parents had before the GT. 170 column shifter 3 speed. The shifter mechanism wore out and we installed a Hurst!

I am still hoping to find Mom's. '62 GT Green, green interior, 170, TF, last seen at the Dodge dealer in 1985 in Chestertown, MD when they traded it for a new K-Car!

Used them 3 times to run Max 300 miles round trip to Carlisle and back. And yes running at 70 was not an issue. I used the '92 Dodge B350 1 ton Church Van. I also used one to run Max to the repair shop on the other side of Philadelphia. I will not do that again. The Philly streets are not made...

Max has a 742 with 4.11s and I have a '64 on the shelf with a 741 with 3.55s in it just in case.

@matthon I had a friend who raced Maxes back in the day. He told me they never broke a Ball & Trunnion! And yes my Max still has the B & T and the tapered axles! They are part of his personality.

Remember Rule #1: Happy Wife happy life! All of my late Wife's cars were sticks. She knew how to drive a stick before I knew how to drive! The last 2 she bought, she had to fight with the salesman to get one!

I also lived near the car. I never stopped to talk to him but I would drive by to make sure the car was still there. Every so often, on a Saturday afternoon, he would light it off! And you knew.......

Nuthin' like a big block 4 speed A-Body! 40 years ago I drove one once and that's all it took.

Yeah, Uncle Lee lost me when he decided to scrap the big block tooling! Then they went to FWD only passenger cars. This is when nearly ALL police departments and state police had fleets of RWD Plymouths! So they had to go to Caprices and Crown Vics. I've become a van guy. You can fit more...

Old wrestling T-Shirts are hot right now. I take my stuff to a silent auction. It runs for a month, when you bid, you write down your number and a bid and at the end of the month they notify you if you've won anything. They put out old wrestling shirts and they got bid way up. My father was...

Max doesn't like it below 50 degrees anyway so I don't! My friend was there and said it was a bit of a cluster. He said the spectators were allowed in the staging area and were crowding around the cars as they were doing burnouts!

When the original owner of Max put the fenderwells in, he cut the fuel line halfway, then put on a short rubber hose and some copper tubing and ran it up to the fuel pump and wire tied the copper tubing to the torsion bar!

@68original Because I have a Max Wedge and I can too! Then you add fenderwell headers! Nuthin' like the sweet sound of a 4 barrel carburetor exceptin' if you have TWO 4 barrel carburetors!

Dad's 2 friends were rebuilding a Continental 226, with parts from a marine engine, that had not been properly winterized, for his big old wooden boat. The engine they were rebuilding had come out of a Kaiser. And, yes, they spent 2 or 3 days trying to figure out why the cam timing wasn't right...

A friend who has since passed raced Maxes when they were new and told me they never broke a ball and trunnion!

Be Careful, A-Body and B-Body are different. The A-Body is shorter, I think.

Yes, that was it and it never influenced me that much that I needed a motorcycle. I did follow the Steve McQueen example when I launched my '59 Plymouth wagon over a steep hill and bounced it! And blew the oil pan out of it, they didn't show that in Bullet!

@65TerrorCuda I'd forgotten my bicycle mis-hap! It was the time of The Great Escape. I took the fenders off the bike. There was a spot in the driveway that I used as a small jump ramp. A friend was coming through the yard and I said "Watch This"! I jumped and watched the front wheel fall off...

I’ve always been a Mopar guy and in 1977 bought a ’65 Imperial 2 door hardtop. Land yachting at its best! In 1972 I discovered Mercedes Pontons. My brother brought home a ’61 190Db. A ’49 Plymouth with German flavor, anyway I was selling Ponton parts in Hemmings and got a call from a guy in the...

When State Farm totaled the Forester they used CCC Intelligent Solutions who is supposed to have some sort of valuation program. I do not know if the same company is used for collector cars. They decided that the car was worth $2700 less $500 deductible and $500 "Owner Retained Salvage"! I would...

I think I am the only person in the world that could spin an AWD vehicle! Month and a half ago bounced my '01 Forester off a concrete median. Tough little beast, drove it 60 miles home at 70 MPH with the AC on! State Farm totaled it. I kept the car and got paid. Because they couldn't find the...

I had a '52 Imperial I wanted to put a 3-71 or 4-71 blower on but never happened. The Marine Hemis had adjustable rockers. I knew a guy who paid almost 2 grand for my friend's 2 marine Hemis and that's all he took, he left the rest! Chrysler was getting 180 Horsepower out the 331 Hemi and...

There are posts on FABO and FBBO about this. I go 7 years and that's it. If I am on the road I want to be as safe as possible. What freaked me out, I was running my '93 Subaru Legacy in the left lane of the interstate at 80-85 with 12 year old tires! I wasn't paying attention. Think of this...

I have a '92 Dodge B350 van. I found out recently that when the dash lights are out and the "Idiot" buzzer isn't working the brake lights are out too. It was a broken trailer wire that blew the fuse.
