    Leave it or Hot Rod it?

    Yes. And slip in a Cleveland when she isn't looking.

    Leave it or Hot Rod it?

    As good an idea as this is, sometimes I think it would be easier to just send her out to search for something she feels is acceptable, then buy it. My wife likes '59 Ramblers. Not so much now that she knows what they can get for one. If the price would have dropped just a little she would own...

    Leave it or Hot Rod it?

    Build it into a monster. When she figures out she can barely drive it, you'll have a new toy.

    Your not going to believe what I saw today

    Maybe it was the only car he had available to pull his '69 1/2 hemi Super Bee down there.

    oil change question

    If you notice, just a hair above the add mark you are still good to go. The fifth quart is a good reserve for cars using oil. There are a couple of things that can be gained by running a touch over 4 quarts in a five quart car, but you have to keep a watch over it. If you are uncomfortable just...

    Maybe the clutch pedal was stuck down for a second or two.

    62 Crown Imperial

    These are neat. Even the wife likes them. Almost bought one last August, just couldn't pull the trigger.

    I just wanna say...

    Fry the thing...then tell the good woman they are going to force you to buy it.

    There are machinists in Rockford that make space shuttle parts.

    Please don't kill me...

    A two barrel 383 might give you what you want. Also, a 360 crate motor might work out for you. I'm sure it would be fairly reliable.

    Please don't kill me...

    Maybe a 4.0 HO with automatic four speed. It would double your horsepower,maybe 20 to the gallon. Just a thought that popped into my head.

    Yes. After 50 years why am I still listening to race car noises?

    what was your real life experience, hemi cuda or challenger vs chevelle ( read article inside)

    Hmm...a 302 Camaro could come pretty close to these E.T. numbers. Speed wise it would beat them all.

    Talk me out of this!

    First get it, then worry about the rest later. I am still kicking myself for not picking up a completely dismantled, flawless, '67 Coronet for a grand.

    what was your real life experience, hemi cuda or challenger vs chevelle ( read article inside)

    With the gears in my Chevelle I could easily take on almost anything up to fifty or sixty or so. After that I would be waving bye bye to the R/T's. That is the reason for waving bye bye to my Chevy and hello to my '70 Plymouth.

    Whats the best deal you have ever gotten?

    I got a really nice '56 chevy for $30. A '60 falcon for $17.50. My '62 galaxie 500 for $10. A cool '66 ford custom cab pickup for $350. A '66 Bel aire with a new engine for $200. My '70 Roadrunner set me back a whopping $300. I got two decent Fleetwoods for free. And there is plenty more...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    So...it looks like I begin a re-ring. As long as it is apart I guess I should fix the front trans seal leak and maybe a shift kit. Then service the rear end. Or...I could re-ring a 340 challenger engine I have laying around, rebuild the 727 that goes with it with shift kit, and swap out the...
