I'm going stick to wearing my wool ski cap in the 80 degree weather like is fashionable for doofuses. Not.

My guess is that the reserve is set high to use the eBay auction to establish the value of the car for estate purposes..... but we'll see what happens soon enough. *Edit* Just noted the zero feedback bidder that keeps bumping the bid. Some things never change.

I always wondered what happened to that 500 with the slant 6 in it. The answer is pretty much "nothing".

The real test is how it hold up after a couple of year in the car through the heat cycles, etc.

I doubt I'll ever buy a new carb again. Prices are nuts. Just picked up a $100 swap meet Holley 750 that is pristine.... and at this rate will be buying every decent one I run across and putting it on the shelf.

My plan is to slowly trim down the fleet to zero before I die, so there is no after-death plan. If I go suddenly, then someone else will have to come up with a plan.

"No shipping. Local pickup only." At least whoever might buy this thing will have to see it in person first. One last chance to walk away.

Argh.. major back trouble this morning, so a day of gummies and lying on the couch in my traction position. At least we have entered that special time of year were you can watch football AND racing all day long.

I'm sure it's a fine carb for certain purposes, but it's just a copy of a Holley.... and running a no-choke double pumper carb on a street car is not the future. That is the past.

Carb choice is really a personal one. I prefer the 4160 Holley 750 (vacuum secondary and electric choke). I seem to be able to set those up the best.

I'll keep brainstorming!

No, I owned it from 1987 to maybe around 2010 or so. It was a great car, but if I had not moved it along I would not have the cool cars I enjoy today. As much as I have tried, it's hard to be like Jay Leno and keep them all!

My old 74 U-code. I had no idea how rare it was when I drove it home for $600.

Being from WA, I mostly will not buy west-side of the State cars because of the rainfall and humidity. If they sat outside, they are always much worse than they look because they are constantly wet 9 months out of the year and rust from the inside out and anywhere water can pool. I won't even...

I have never seen a 73 Charger with front drum or non-power brakes. Even my slant 6 74 Charger with zero options had power disc brakes. That leads me to believe PDB were standard. If the car has a fender tag, it will say which brake option the car had. Original master and boosters are still...
