Here's my daily driver. I guess you can say it's rare in 2021. Sees north of 5k rpm on a daily basis. Needs work on the secondary squirters.
So this gas tank out of a van works with fuel gauge in car? Talk about Mad Max style engineering!!Nearest town to me is 60 miles, 100 for the larger city.
If I want to go anywhere other than my little town I need a big gas tank. It's a 32 gallon out of a dodge van.
Don't have a superbird, so why not. Better than looking at metal in the garage. Stick it on a car. Wing originally came from the blackbird state patrol car.
As long as you use the gauge that came with the tank, it should work. If I recall correctly the Vans around 76' came with a 28 gal. tank(metal), but the option was a 36 gal. tank(plastic), as in the photo. I had a 72' van and tried to install a 36 gal. one, but it would not fit. had to keep the smaller one. The 340 I had in it sucked the tank dry often. Vacations were a bummer.So this gas tank out of a van works with fuel gauge in car? Talk about Mad Max style engineering!!
I’ve posted this car before. The only reason I’m posting it now is because I completely agree with the sentiment of why not drive a car that’s waiting to be restored if you can. When I get really discouraged about working on my ‘65 Dart GoGo coupe I hop in the convertible and go for a ride. It’s funny, I find my self driving it for local errands more and more. It’s amazing how many people wave, smile, or yell something like “I love your car!” If I drive it to the local Walmart, someone always seems to stop and talk to me about it. Once, I found a woman just standing by it smiling, and she told me her first car was just like it. Even if they aren’t concours winners, even if they aren’t done, get ‘em out there and enjoy them, and let people see them. It does everyone good.

I agree. When I drove my 64 vert it drew women to it. They seemed to like it. Younger people were intrigued by the push button trans. It was fun to driveView attachment 1715817421
You're doing it together. That's what matters.I get a lot more happiness cobbling these together and driving them than I would doing a full restore. Although it's my son doing most of the cobbling these days & I help.
There was winged car at a Fling years ago that I swear someone was living out of. It could have been a Joe dirt tribute but it was 100% OEM rough. Rusted out quarters, one head light up..bags of clothes in the back seat. Front cone was all warped. Truly ghastly next to 90+ point winged restorations.
Not rare, definitely a beater
