That would be a great project! I say go for it. Isn't the Stratus a FWD car though?

Way cool. Why restore it? As they say, cars are only original once! I've got a new appreciation for original paint; even with a few dings and scrapes. Enjoy it! The Bug is another Car on my "must own" list.

The funny thing was I thought that all BMW drivers were d-bags as well but then I owned one and found out why... Actually my quote to a friend was, "Now I know why BMW owners drive like a-holes. Because they can!"

It seems like you should be able to get a computer pretty cheaply for that car. I picked one up for a 533i for $25 off of Ebay about 5 years ago but the 3-series might be more popular than the 533. There's gotta be one for under $100 out there somewhere. The sport seats are nice, and in the...

That's what my current daily driver has been for the last 4 years- an 88 BMW 535is. It's seriously possibly the best car that I've ever owned out of close to 40 cars. It was cheap, gets 25 MPG on the freeway, it handles incredibly with a few cheap suspension parts, has a/c that works, cruise...

Same. I wasn't even a glint in my parents eyes when these were built!

Great, thanks! Sadly the lead has been lost. DPHS needs more votes! FABO can do it, I have faith in it. :hello1:

I am riding the bus right now, posting from my phone... waaaaaay cheaper than gas on my 45 mile commute! Been doing it for almost 2 years now. I miss living 2 miles away from work. I could drive my 8 mpg cars every day. Now I am thinking of thinning the fleet just because I don't have time...

Small world! Thanks for the vote. They are still in the lead but the gap is closing.... Please vote! :sunny:

Hey all, please help the local high school win $50,000 for their art department! As teachers lose their jobs and kids are forced to make due with less with more students in a classroom, these funds could be the beginning of the next great hot rod designer, or someone who pens out the design for...

Or they could be filled with beer. :toothy8:

When I was in college I had two roommates who were like the twin towers. One was 6'5" and the other was 6'7" and one of the funniest things I remember about them is seeing them both get out of the "shorter" guy's 1970 Porsche 914. I think they were both about three times as tall as the car...

That is a great idea. I will look into that! I also have a long inseam- I can sit with one leg on the kitchen counter top and the other foot flat on the floor. I wear length 34 pants but wear them hanging off the hip- I think my jeans inseam is closer to 36" if I were to wear properly...

So I'm only 6'2" but every A-body I have been in was impossible to get my legs straight out even with the seat all the way back. I don't mean just to the gas/brake pedals, but to the firewall! My knees hit the steering wheel. It sucks. I am thinking that I either need to install bucket...

My Wife and I are planning on bringing our '64. Might or might nor pre-reg depending on what happens with work. It's only an extra $5 at the gate. I try to make it to at least one of the Flings every year! :burnout:

I agree with the folks that are saying to just suck it up and drive the Dart. $2500 still buys a lot of gas for that car. I went through the same thing several years ago when gas hit $4.00 but all of my cars got no better than 11 MPG so jumping to 20+ was a huge improvement which after all of...

What years and engines are "Large valve" heads from?

Here's the plate on my C-body... meant to piss off all the environmentalists and Prius drivers. :thebirdm::thebirdm::thebirdm: It must work... my car has been egged twice now. :wack:

The problem is, when you can fix everything, when do you call the car worn out? If you keep up with it, it will last pretty much forever. That's the mental issue I am having with my daily driver '88 BMW 535is right now. It has 273,000 miles on it (reminds me that I wish my '64 Dart had a...

If someone (like me perhaps!) made a drawing in SolidWorks or any other 3D CAD program, would that help? I need window bushings and after a trip to the junk yard, thought I could find some new ones. It's not easy!
