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

Not mine, seen on craigslist. Very few road runners made in the last year. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/3822475758.html

Front grill, headlight bezels, and lights have only been placed inside the grill opening. I didn't cut anything. The factory egg crate grill is still accounted for and uncut. Still have the square headlights also. I just wasn't a fan of the square lights. If you were referring to the car's front...

This is a project car. Doesn't run. I've owned it for about four years. 2.6 engine, five speed manual, factory AC car. Factory four wheel disc package. I've been through a lot searching salvage yards trying to find restoration parts. Spare me the insults, please! I didn't like the square...

Some friends had these cool stick shifters toys. The "engine" noise did get louder as you shifted through the gears, then it launched a wheelie. Later versions had a plastic T-shift handle with"Hurst" logo. Talk about a gateway drug... Here's a vintage TV spot Hasbro Stick Shifters Drag...

1969 Plymouth commercial featuring a train, cars were vulnerable to damage during rail transport in those days. If you watch the video, the song was based on a popular tune of the day called "Sundays will never be the same". 1969 Plymouth Commercial - YouTube

I rolled into the Dodge dealer in Georgetown,TX where I got my 2010 Challenger to price out some Mopar mudflaps. A salesman talks with me about my aging R/T Challenger when it dawns on me. Where are the Challengers anyway? The front row is nothing but Jeeps and Dodge Darts. What Challengers they...

The 1999 movie "The Bachelor" with Chris O'Donnell/Renee Zelweger was pretty funny. It was more of a guy's type of movie than I thought it would be. Don't rule it out, unless you just don't like the actors. Ane even older movie, "Housesitter" with Steve Martin/Goldie Hawn was a movie I always...

I'm currently in between jobs and would like to stay productive financially. With all the work at home scams out there it's hard to tell if any of those offers are legit. I have heard I'd a work at home service called Odesk. Does anyone know of any success stories with that company? Any other...

To be on the safe side, how about setting up an free checking account at a bank near you, that you don't use for anything else but paypal/ebay transactions. That way, if a scammer does manage to access it, the damage wouldn't be catastrophic because it isn't your household checking/savings. I...

How about Red Foreman? He's also a funny TV dad even though not among the original choices.

I feel that many people are atracted to the honest simplicity of the design, the "box on wheels" approach. It is apparent that the somewhat humble design has a fiercely loyal following.

Yup definitely remember the Capitol Centre when it was still called the Capitol Center. The stadium roof kinda looked like giant Pringle's potato chip. Also, there wasn't much around it but forest and trees back in those days. Anyways that was where I attended my first concert, the Styx...

Years ago a buddy was moving and gave me this 1:16 kit he didn't ever get around to building. I let it sit around also, but finally got it done. The instruction sheet was missing, so I had to find pics of similar models that were already finished. This thing dwarfs a hot wheels car.

Recently assembled Mach 5 from polar lights. I thought I was done until I watched a few episodes of speed racer. I realized the the steering wheel rim is supposed to be red, not black! I have to fix that! And they say mopar purists can be nitpicky...

Not to go too far off topic, but old Stingrays are in short supply now thanks to Evel Knievel and BMX. Lots of Stingrays got mangled by kids who tried their best to emulate Evel Kneivel's famous motorcycle stunts in the 70's. Usually their folks were so furious they refused to pay for repairs or...
