    Dodge back in Nascar ?

    Nice. Dump AJ, lure Enders and the Elite Motorsports Team over to Dodge on a multi-year deal and then dump them after a year. Same thing in Nascar - win the first championship in 40-something years with Keselowski and then dump the entire program. They're unreliable - here today gone tomorrow. I...

    out of work again

    The Saudis. They are flooding the market and driving down the price to squeeze U.S oil and oil-shale production. At the higher price point U.S. oil and oil-shale is competitive and was cutting into the Saudis profits. Saudis figure with their enormous oil reserves, they can sell it cheap to...

    Why are mopar parts so scarce at swap meets?

    We're down to only 5%? :wack: I knew we had a minority share ... but I didn't think it was THAT low! I guess that must be the big picture that includes not only domestic, but also all of the rice and sauerkraut burning imports too. At only 5%, were doomed. :violent2:

    Your user name ???????????

    "RzeroB" as in the 5th, 6th and 7th character of a VIN for a 1970 HemiCuda that I was fortunate enough to own for a couple of years in the early '80's. As it turns out, it was the only Hemi that I ever was lucky enough to own. :banghead:

    Why are mopar parts so scarce at swap meets?

    Volume ... there simply isn't as many of "us" as there are those "other guys" with the bow-tie and blue oval

    the mopars gods will not be happy with me

    Geo, where did you get that avatar pic? I must know - its a matter of life or death! Okay, it's not, but I still want to know ...

    the mopars gods will not be happy with me

    I know it may be rude to ask, but what kind of cha-ching did it take to relieve your bar stool acquaintance of the car?? Just curious as what a nice looking project like that can be had for??

    Showing my age, SUNOCO 260

    Loved that "blend selector" on those pumps! Here is another one of the pump with the "blend" selector" on the side And here is a closeup of the "blend selector" itself

    Mechanical engineer's apartment

    I was most intrigued by this pic: I have never seen a six cylinder configured in two close parallel rows of three like that before. I wonder how that configuration works? I'm guessing that it is not new and has been around for years and that I'm just not up to speed on the modern engine...

    The one that got away

    In late '83 I managed to score a '70 HemiCuda that I scrimped, saved, and borrowed to get. Then in the summer of '86 I met a hot blonde who was "the one". Shortly thereafter there was an engagement, a wedding, and kids. You know what that meant - goodby HemiCuda. Simply couldn't afford to keep...

    Anyone have any regrets from their past

    Of course ... everybody does. I call them the "would'a, could'a, should'a's" Wish I "would'a, could'a and should'a" invested and kept some Hemi E-bodies. I managed to land one, but it didn't take long before I had to release it back into the wild. In late '83 I got a '70 HemiCuda that I...

    Anyone know the Destin Florida area?

    I lived in Ft Walton Beach, which is the next town to the west of Destin, for a few years. You have to drive quite a ways to get to the track - and when you find one they are all 1/8th mile :(

    My Birthday/ Retirement gift

    Congrats! That is an unusual combo - can't say I have seen one like it before. The Gen II Hemi is a tight fit, but I think the Gen I Hemi is even wider than the the Gen II? How big of a shoe-horn did you need to stuff that big lump of iron into that engine bay?

    Coming out... I like Mustangs

    Cool story ... but what ever happened to your mentor, the guy who owned the shop and the car? Retired, moved, passed away?? I knew a guy like that too. I was in my 20's and Chuck lived next door to the people who would eventually become my in-laws. Chuck was a mechanical "genius" too - could...

    You missing USPS psckages? Maybe here is what happened to them...

    When I was living in Hawaii I use to fly night cargo that included taking USPS mail and packages to and from Honolulu to all the other islands. I was flying twin turboprops - too small for roll-on / roll-off containerized cargo like they have on the bigger jets. So all the mail was in "flats"...

    My FEAR of Flying...

    With all of the "encouragement" (doom and gloom) that Harry has been given I'm surprised that he even got on the plane! Its all good Harry. When you fly with any of the major airlines you are in the care of a highly skilled and rigorously trained group of professionals. The qualifications and...

    2 Million $$ Cuda

    It IS cheaper! Two years ago I was in Charlotte and stopped by RK Motors and it was priced at $2.5 mil. So it's come down 500K - that's a 20% markdown! :cheers:

    Total Ford badassary on Ebay.

    I saw the yellow one at Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville TN (near Gatlinburg TN). I didn't know anything about the car or even of its existence until I stopped by the museum in 2012. If I remember right there was something on the display board next to the car which said that...

    Identify this part

    At first I thought that maybe it was a sway bar link to the lower control arm? But then I saw the third pic showing the slotted adjuster inside of the nut and something occurred to me ... Are we sure that thing is original to the Scamp? Cause to me it looks a lot like a motorcycle front fork...

    1971 Challenger 383 big block

    Some form of documentation is vital to determining how much of the car is original or not. Without the fender tag or build sheet you only have the VIN and that will only tell you a couple of things. As I mentioned before, if the VIN starts with JH... then it is a base Challenger and typically is...

    1971 Challenger 383 big block

    VINs stampings on E-bodies are found in two places besides the obvious VIN tag, door sticker and fender tag. They are also found on the aforementioned radiator support on the battery side and on the horizontal surface of the firewall cowl above the master cylinder and to the left of the fresh...

    For the guys - Nice rack thread

    Yeeeooowww!!! That dress is like a showcase window on a display rack (pun intended)! Kind of a showcase down at the hemline too! Awesome!!

    Decoding fender tag

    Do you mean the Duster or that equally sharp-looking C5 Vette sitting next to it? Either way you are right on the money as usual Rocky - spot on and a wealth of information - you Rock (Rocky)!
