    Where Are All The Pre 2010 Members

    I joined back when I had my 68 Formula S with a 416. I sold it (really wish I hadn't) a few years ago. I picked up a 71 Duster twister this spring so I plan to spend more time on here. Saving up for my build right now.

    Going to try auction tomorrow

    East of Mt. Pleasant MI about 25 miles. It sold for $14750. I do think it was worth more being a California Formula S with all original rust free. I had receipts for about $10K in a no expense spared 416 build as well. I tried to sell it for 3 years or so without really enjoying it anymore so I...

    Well let it go for $250 under my reserve. I am good with that. Hopefully you will have a new member soon and I can follow along.

    Going to try auction tomorrow

    I have been half assed trying to sell my Barracuda the last couple of years. I have had it 13 years and really enjoyed it when I had a passion of working on it. The last couple of years as my son gets a bit older and family stuff takes precedence it tends to not get used very much. Tomorrow I...

    Would you take the Buick, or the Caddy?

    They were called Dagmars for a reason.

    Would you take the Buick, or the Caddy?

    Either car before they were made into these. There are awesome cab forward style 50's trucks that would look so much better made into these.

    downloading music

    As the OP I just wanted to check in and say thanks for the info so far. I have no issue paying per song or a monthly fee as long as I can do anything I want with it after I download it. Per the suggestions so far I am checking our Spotify and Pirate Bay. Still looking if there are others. I am...

    downloading music

    I am a little embarrassed to say that I haven't bought music in probably 15 years. Back then it was CD's. I have relied on FM and XM radio but would really like to get some of my favorite songs instead of buying CD's full of good and not so good songs like I did in the past. What is the best way...

    There are good folks out there. I hope if it was me I could recognize the situation and do the same!

    Not enough younger people in this hobby...

    I have an 8 year old. I bought a 1972 GMC fleetside shortbed 2wd when he was 2 weeks old for $900. I also have a 1992 Jeep YJ 4.0 auto I bought for $2000 a couple years later. Both of these are his. I will rebuild the GMC and he can help if he wants to in order to teach him basic mechanic...

    Good Dodge commercial

    I saw this on Velocity tonight and went and found it on the internet. I thought it was worth watching again. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7ufJ/2015-dodge-charger-and-challenger-dodge-brothers-john-vs-horace

    1968 Formula S...OK to keep modifying?

    10 years ago I went looking for another 1970 340 Duster like I had in high school. I came across a 1968 Formula S 340 Barracuda P code with a great body (California black plate) and a weak 318. I had no idea how to do body work so at 31 years old I thought great buy with a weak 318 and a...

    What is your Other Car?

    2012 Wrangler I traded my 2011 Challenger RT 6spd super trak pack car for. I find this more fun as the Challenger felt numb compared to the Barracuda. I also have a Super Duty plow truck that I am building up now with a Meyers plow. Picture is my new Jeep that I have since added Bushwacker...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I want to thank everybody for their input. You have given me some things to think about instead of sitting here wondering what I need to do.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    Thanks guys. I think I will put an OBO on the $20K I am asking and increase my advertising. I see my long winded original post hasn't let most see that post #4 I already said $20K a few weeks ago. I am going to see what it may cost to paint underhood as well.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    Wow....maybe I need to just drive/maintain this car for a while yet. I could pull the motor and refresh the 318 I currently have on a stand but in my opinion this car is a $15K car with a $5K motor now that I have a little time on the motor (easily less than 2K miles BTW). If I throw a quick...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    Curious. Did you pay the $18K you had budgeted for the 72 Dart and if so would you have rathered buy the Dart or my car? If my car was $18K would you have bought it? Just looking for more honest feedback.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    No pain here....I don't have to sell but want to. If the car is only worth what it is worth I don't want to expect any more. From what I am hearing this car looks pretty good but not quite worth the $20K (makes sense as people are not beating on my door to buy it ;))It also sounds like putting a...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    That one is very nice. I always wonder what they look like in person. I am confident anybody would be pleased when they saw mine. I seem to remember a member here with a very similar car to that one. Maybe that is it but I could have sworn it was from Florida. There was a magazine article on it...

    Dodger fans, did you watch tonight?

    Still remember Kershaw pitching here a few years ago as our hometown Great Lakes Loons are the Low A farm team for the Dodgers. I am glad to see he is doing so well.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I do appreciate that. I don't disagree from what I am seeing myself. I just have much more into it but you never get out what you put in. At least you don't lose as much as if you bought a new car.

    Painting under the hood would help but you won't get back your time and money doing it. It might just help to sell. I am still going to look into it because even if I don't sell it I would like it better if it was painted.

    I bought a car on ebay a few months ago for an awesome price and the guy begged and pleaded with me to withdraw my bid so I did. That plus my wife not being pleased with me buying another car convinced me it was OK to withdraw from the sale. I just have a hard time trusting ebay.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I do appreciate the feedback and don't consider this type of feedback "bashing" at all. I am looking for honesty and peoples actual opinions of the car. I opened the other thread in the general section so I could get feedback exactly like yours. Unfortunately, not sure if this feedback will stay...

    Ebay just makes me a bit nervous. I guess if I am careful with a reserve it might be worth a try. Any things to watch out for other than checks from Nigeria that need to be cashed for more than the car?

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I think I may do that. I have brought it to a couple car shows and it always bugs me when I open the hood and see the original faded Turbine Bronze on the inner fenders and from the pinch welds down.

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I appreciate the comments. Please keep them coming. Keep is short and sweet...check. If $20K is tops what would your opinion be of my cars value? I know you only have pictures and my wordy description to go by. What is the best place to advertise other than FABO? I hate to lose a ton on this car...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I can understand that. I would have a tough time shelling out that much $ at one time myself. I did reduce it to $20K but that might still be too much for somebody all at once. I see cars sell for about 1/2 the price needing close to $20K to get to this shape but I guess that is easier over...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I have had this listed for sale on here for a while now. I have not advertised it anywhere else or even put any signs on it. I am not a very aggressive seller. I would like to get honest (yes I expect negative) opinions so I know what to fix or do different when I get more serious about selling...

    $10K and decent 340S what would you do?

    Thanks guys. Your comments helped me make a decision I think I already wanted to make. I will do paint, brakes and replace any worn suspension/steering this time around. Hopefully $10K will take care of it. Now I need to network a bit to find the right paint/body guys. Now I still have to decide...
