That’s the entire point of this; some of y’all might not pay attention, but legislators introduce bills because of crap like this. give those geniuses in state houses and congress enough cannon fodder and you won’t be able to change your own oil without fear of being fined.

Which would’ve been an AMAZING reason to not post the video, or for the Mercury owner to not comment

It’s not a grammar contest to correct people who are claiming that things could be avoided if the “emergency brake” was put into use, the brain case behind the wheel was putting a ton of force on the brake pedal like his life depended on it, having a working parking brake wouldn’t do him any...

His “something” was already there, a wilwood 4 disc setup fighting against a stuck throttle, an idiot who can’t find neutral and brakes that have been used for a few miles to hold a car that had no business on the road from doing what it eventually did. It’s a trailer queen that doesn’t have...

How would it cost you big time? It wouldn’t in this situation AT ALL. throttle stuck on a 1,000hp vehicle, no brakes were stopping that situation without decoupling the engine from the rear axle (Neutral or killing engine) as the accident happened the hydraulic brake system was already...

PARKING brake, not an emergency brake. when did that change? It’s used for parking, not emergencies. as for the rest of the brakes, nothing to do with this, it’s a stuck throttle, that’s it

Deal with the floaters and the poo water

I found a 4-speed, scattershield, clutch fork, hurst shifter and 340 flywheel on here two years ago for $450, look around, have the cash and be ready to pounce brother.

I’ll say it one time, one time only. Butchering a car that nice is an unnescessary action This isn’t the 80’s anymore, even these crappy A bodies are reaching high prices, yet people want to both curse how cars will cost too much too build, and that parts “aren’t cheap” yet will destroy a good...

I’ve seen so many motorcycles and cars I would kill to have as projects parted out and cut up for various tiny or meaningless reasons it is sickening. The rare times I’ve been able to buy “un-titleable” cars that were for parts only it took nothing but a day and a trip or two to the DMV to have...

OP says he can two foot it to keep it running, car can run on the main jets if that is the case; most likely the culprit is some kind of minor obstruction in the idle circuit. In the past 15 years I haven’t seen any kind of carb goop that works, the good stuff seems to be off the market, if a...

Anything that is common, just buy a new one, rebuild kits don’t tend to have warranties, new parts do. I’ve rebuilt and shimmed a few common oil pumps, NOT worth the trouble. Buy new

I’m gonna have to disagree on any voodoo additives. Just do as stated, remove the idle mixture screws, noting the setting, put your air nozzle in the screw holes, then find the idle air bleeds and do the same, couple quick blasts will do it 9/10 times. I had to do it on my camaro, wife’s...

Like I said, my head would roll, I would try stuffing my wife's spare (if it's not currently in a car its a spare right) 390 hipo motor in there. Interesting factoid her Galaxie is inherited from her dad, he and I had the same issue, in the time I have owned my 68 camaro, his galaxie went thru...

That's the point; I had a good idea that's what it is and in the five years I've known of it no 'car guys' in town (including someone I know who has a 340 demon) knows what it is, and the usual guess is 'nova' not just folks on this site get the mistaken identity issue. Yeah, to get anything...

I think my head would roll on that one. I have to finish my 68 camaro, her 67 galaxie 500, my and my boys 67 barracuda, and my 74 kaw h2, and 77 kz1000 first. Not to mention the kitchen and bathroom.

And there we have it, first time i seen it I thought falcon, don't see any around here. Floors rotting out on the car, no glass, sits outside all year long. Nice looking fresh paint though. Haven't seen it not sitting in the driveway in 5 plus years either

I haven't talked to or seen the owner, so I don't know but I haven't seen anything with the recesses in the fenders like that (emblems??) or the round tail lights (ford?) But the number one question I keep getting is 'have you seen that nova?'

My neighbor points this car out to me, a few other people around town point it out to me, everyone has a different idea on what it is

In further news; might as well never get a haircut, tons of people get bad ones, never go to a restaurant who knows how much spit (or worse) you'll eat, never go to a bar, saw a TV show where a guy goes and finds rats, roaches and fake expensive booze in there. Most won't beat the snot out of...

They aren't 'removing' parts they are torching, grinding or whacking Parts off. Truth is people don't care anout old cars. They get given to them, bought cheap, found or sold 'as parts' to people who intend to use them 'as parts' I saw a pretty solid 67 mustang on Facebook the other day forr...

$1,000 if you're taking bids. My wife drives her 67 galaxie almost daily, never let it sit this year, until the firestone tire blew. Drives it a hell of a lot more than I drive either my Camaro or Barracuda, go figure

I've had a mr gasket shifter on the st10 in my 68 camaro for the past year. Haven't had any shifting issues, had to modify it (it had a non removable stick and wasn't offset) to work for my car but love it. Also had a non worn out 1970's inland shifter, same thing zero problems. Both are the...

"Fun" thing about this story is the towing company DID NOT have a real lean on the car. Car was driven to the tow yard that day and the lean/auction crap started to apply for a mechanics lean/title because they found out the car was stolen. I also believe the engine/trans didn't come back with...

I have to agree with RRR when a complete running 360 from someone like LKQ runs $600 or so with a warranty, or $2-300 running from a 3rd party. Unless it is YOUR numbers matching engine to match your complete number match car it isn't worth it. That $1,000 core (not to mention machine work...

Correct but the problem also gets added to when you remember that tire manufacturers have started widescale manufacturing in china, leading to out of spec tires coming into the market, so one from a few years prior would measure different, or the OE spec tire (assuming that's what was on it? Or...

Uhhh, the 'burn up' due to changing one tire on an AWD vehicle refers to the transfercase/ transmission going out which DOES happen, whether or not your salesperson/tech/whatever was smart enough or experienced enough to speak correctly when getting pressured by a lawyer or an angry husband type...

Problem right now with pawnstars and all that crap right now you have the effect of that full on. Most sellers are asking WAY TOO much on purpose ($2000 for a $500 bike) because they feel like someone is going to offer them half right off the bat. And you have people trying to cut EVERYTHING in...

Ha, I've watched people with a full beard, wearing a resporator to blow off brake dust. OSHA violation! You must shave to wear a respirator, otherwise you are doing nothing to help yourself, and can get your company in trouble. Solvents never seemed to bother me, working on carbs or engine...

RRR, I agree, the shop I worked at had 12 'mechanics' nine of which were part swappers (or brake/exhaust guys) the other 3 of us were actual mechanics, I hardly ever fired up the scan tool outside of an initial code grab. I was also the official/unofficial engine/trans guy. I had been deep...
