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...

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

"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...

I have to agree with magazines sucking because of the blatand product showcasing. I love seeing write ups where they are doing say a head or intake comparison, and just toss every piece of the motor out (cam, heads, rockers, intake, carb etc) and automatically 'prove' that you gain 150hp by...

This guy i believe did lower quarters, and trunk, if I recall right it was a yellow car. I already made my own rockers, door patches, fender patches, drivers floor, b-pillar patches and put on new quarters

There was a thread on here a handful of years back where a member was working on his brother's dart or duster where he made all his own patches, anybody know where that one went, my old computer has the bookmark, but that thing is long dead

Here's a quote from someone on a different forum about the 2001 car "Not sure if people outside this area saw this, but the dirtbag Lee Sitton did a telephone interview with Lars Larson. Lars is pretty conservative, no nonsense guy, and asked good questions. Sitton avoided answering anything...

https://m.facebook.com/groups/252652491594769/253916014801750/?notif_t=group_comment Here's the car that was stolen in 2001, they made a facebook page on it

There's a thread on here somewhere where somebody has one of the 'bad metal' carbs, called in the casting numbers and holley took care of it. May want to look into it

I have to disagree with the 'you don't have a title you aren't owner crap' title is defined as ownership of property, what this is over is the 'certificate of title' which, the OP has, but is worried it isn't filled in correctly. Like I said on page one, go down to the local used car dealer and...

What I have heard is you can fill out an affadavit saying the particular sale never happened and it was sold to you instead. Typically you need the 'owner' of the car to sign this form for you. Otherwise talk to a used car dealer near you and see if they have a tip or trick for you to use to...

Not like they designated what year. An 83 or newer Elky are usually quite cheap. Pretty ugly, but cheap.

... And my Camaro gets called a mustang or a challenger quite a bit. Wife's Galaxie has been called a GTO once, but usually gets properly identified. Could be people are familliar with a couple years of a car only (69 camaro, 69-74 Nova, etc) and not the other body styles, the darts look...

Years back i asked a gm rep why they didnt have a test port for fuel pressure on their tbi trucks. Basic answer was 'ten cents' IIRC

Buick, olds and pontiac (commonly shortened to BOP) had one bellhousing pattern, and chevy has a different one. There's also a BOP specific rear end and a chevy rear, and a BOP specific carburetor, and a chevy one, etc etc. but that's referencing different companies doing different things...

Finally? So another month after you got the tracking number?!?

Can I just say, no matter what the car (or truck) is there is NO need to double clutch anything. And yes, I drive Semis, dump trucks, and euclids for a living; I like to believe I'm pretty apt at driving. Learn to slip shift and you wont even need that clutch pedal except to take off. I was...

There's no reason to use r-12 in a car, to convert you put an adapter on the lowside, evacuate, pull a vacuum, charge with r-134 (3/4 or so what you'd use with 134) add dye and you've converted it. For a concourse look, unthread the adapter and replace the old cap. But, one of those 'if you can...

Simply put, a tach that looks the same as a part from the parts store without being distinquished as different would probably solicit a question or two about it being priced higher than a simillar one (same brand, same style just a slight difference) I'm sure a large chunk of the people in this...

I hate to ask, if 'is this the same tach that can be bought at the part store for $40" isn't a relevant question (admissable by the rule pointed out) then what is?

color can always be changed. Lets face it, my 67 barracuda is absolutely nothing special 273 2 barrel, 7.25 rear, all the un-desirable parts to it. The guy I got the car from sold her to me as a parts vehicle, but with a little help and a few pieces and bits of metal it's come to be a much...

exactly the reason I have begun to hate seeing things like barret jackson on TV all the time (and of course things like pawn stars, auction hunters, etc.) that drive the prices of all sorts of collectors items up by giving the biggest "pipe dream" price you can dream up as what an item is worth...

I'm trying to figure out why the kid in the second post says that insurance for that dart is crazy... I have a daily driver 68 camaro and my insurance is 76 bucks for 6 months.... covered well over the value of the car???

/6 matt, you're not getting the point so, once again I said MOST PEOPLE... what are you, what's everyone else here? you're all car guys! (or gals) 90% of the people here can tell a 396 383 and 390 apart, but guess what, I'd but half of the newer gen mustang folks couldn't tell a 302, 351 and 390...

Does ethanol content in gas ever do anything good for the fuel? even the modern fuel injected computer controlled cars don't like it very much. And heck, the addition of ethanol doesn't decrease the fuel's price. On a different subject, back when gas was $4.23 out here E85 was $1.99, when gas...

nevermind, I was looking at a 68 formula S that had a red tail panel, havent seen anything like that on a 67

I thought I heard somewhere that the hurst or formula S cars had that trim panel in red? or was that the area around the trim panel itself? Correct me if I'm wrong
