    Parts Cache

    That’s a lot of heavy items, most not shippable. However, there’s a lot of good stuff there, and probably worth the $20k, and enough left over to make a profit. But with the engines, you’re looking at pickup only, unless you plan on a lot of freight shipping. At $20k, I would probably pass...

    all I have to say is when buying an old car dont trust anyone about its history

    Usually, you don’t need any verbal history about a car to assess what it is, or what it’s not. Cars tell their own tales, and anybody with some knowledge of Mopars can quickly determine things like color, engine size, and possible options based on that info. There are clues all over cars that...

    Anyone know about International Scouts???

    If you get it I’ll put you in touch with the Scout guru, Nick Rayer. He’s been doing scouts for decades now and knows everything about them there is to know. He has at least a dozen of them. I went to school with him and he still lives in our town.

    My Dad's 67 Satellite- A bittersweet day

    I’m knid of tearing up hearing this, and smiling at the same time. Sad because your Dad is fighting Parkinson’s, and happy because he is fighting. He’s doing your Mom and his family a great service by taking care of things while he still can, and moving his prize possessions into safe and sound...

    Signs you're getting old for Classic Car Owners

    One day my moms husband gave me a big bag full of new black socks. I didn’t know what to think of it, so I tried a pair on the next day. Then I realized it…..it must be some sort of rite of passage, the old old guy giving the new old guy his passage key into the realm of being an old guy. I...

    best way to ship a rear end housing

    Word on the street is that Fastenal has suspended all shipping operations for the foreseeable future. If I were shipping my housing, I would be making a form fit wooden crate and sending it through my FedEx account, and expecting the housing to be shipped back in the same crate.

    Your first mopar...?

    My first Mopar, although never making it back to the road, was my Moms 1973 Satellite Sebring Plus. It was her first new car, she traded in her trusty old 1965 Galaxy 500 to get it. That car was rode hard and put away wet, and the daily commute of 110 miles took its toll on it. My brother got...

    Classic Mopar Use ????

    I remember a time not long ago I was watching the news and they were interviewing an older lady who was going of on the fact that she couldn’t believe that there were any vehicles made in this world that didn’t require having to put on the brake to shift into gear. She was appalled, because some...

    Classic Mopar Use ????

    Safety?? Nothing safer than real steel wrapped around your kids while they’re in their formidable driving years. I bought my son this 86 Dodge pickup as a father/son project. It had been off the road for about 12 years. Fast forward about 6 months and he’s been daily driving with trouble free...

    Classic Mopar Use ????

    I drive my cars whenever, and wherever I want. True, I live in The Mitten, and we typically drive them only after the snow disappears, but those 2 weeks of summer are the best! Realistically, I’ve driven to the Gilmore, about 2 hours away. If I go to the Nats I trailer something there, not...

    Just a heads up

    Another heads up, I just ordered a bench seat cover for the roadrunner. They were $472 yesterday with the 20% discount. Had everything in my cart but got busy so I didn’t get to finish my check out. Today they were $498. Still got the 20% discount, but procrastination cost me $25 The 20% sale...

    Rookie Mistake...

    Sounds like you are in denial and still believe that he will make this right. He will NOT. And legal action or a letter from the AG will just aggravate the already shady situation. GO GET YOUR CAR NOW!

    Rust! Should I sell it?

    I guess my question would be…..what are your plans for the car? Resto? Drive and enjoy? Race car? If you’re just going to drive and enjoy it, you don’t even need to fix that. Just put a new package tray liner on top and go about enjoying the car. If you’re going to restore the car, do it right...

    Georgia Smooth (white lightning)

    If you want some peach, join the Blackberry Smoke fans page and get ready to hit one of their concerts. PBR goes to every show, and makes a batch for every concert to offer to “friends and family”. The bunch we run with always brings a variety of different flavors, and there’s always plenty of...

    Georgia Smooth (white lightning)

    My buddy PBR makes the peach all the time, and my brother makes the white, I usually bolster the peach with about 20% white, just to bring up the property values. It’s made for many a great jam session at the work weekends up at Wheatland!

    Parts! Bend over AND smile! short rant!

    For my hobby cars, I have enough parts here to rebuild or replace just about anything. We’ve been working on my sons truck, I don’t think he’s spent more than $100 on the entire project, but we’ve replaced about $1000 worth of stuff. My problem is time, if something breaks down on our dailies, I...

    3 Second mopar sighting

    I was walking the dog one evening at dusk, and I heard a familiar rumble coming down the road. Right away I recognized the running lights to be a 71/2 B body, and I was not disappointed. It went by me and the pup, 71 GTX. We turned around and followed the trail and we came upon it, and what a...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    We did. We were going to take the convertible, but there are some downed trees in front of the door, and I didn’t feel like working on cleaning that up. That’s us on the left.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Took the wife and daughter up to the cruise in, maybe the last one for this year. There’s no shortage of heavy iron in our surrounding area, and never a dull moment at the cruise with all the different cars that show up. In a small town in Michigan, we sure do have more than our share of Mopar iron.

    How Could I Be So Stupid/Careless?

    Not my mistake, but my buddies. He had a 70 Challenger with a 440, and he was always working on it. His parents house was up on top of a hill with a pretty steep driveway. He had his car up on ramps up by the garage and was working on it. It rolled off the ramps and down the hill where his dads...

    Dumb Mopar moves - this should be fun

    Convertible 70 Roadrunner for $500, my dad didn’t think it was a good idea! Superbird $450, every panel was completely banged up, sat for years there until the owner passed and it got scrapped, along with a 67 Chevelle that sat next to it.

    Dumb Mopar moves - this should be fun

    My buddy and I got jobs at this big horse farm when we were teenagers. Sitting under a tree on the farm was a 69.5 a12 Superbee, orange and black, 4 speed car. I asked if it was for sale, yep, $400, and better yet I could work off the car. We busted our asses all week, digging holes for porta...

    Securement to trailer

    I use 4 ratchet straps, the 2 fronts crossed, and both go to the frame of the trailer and around the LCA with axle straps. In the rear I use axle straps, and go straight back with my ratchet straps and around the rear frame of the trailer. If I’m hauling a long way, I will sometimes use my...
