    '63 Sport Fury Dash Gauge Issue With the lights on

    @Longknife @EARLY B @pnora Hi Guys, I meant to post this sooner but life got in they way! Plus I've sold the car! Because I wanted to sell the car or at least take it to Carlisle Chryslers I decided it was time to try and fix it. Dropped the steering column, pulled the dash and replaced the...

    No Garage Doors-No Car Insurance?

    I had Max in my warehouse. When I brought him home and put him in the garage they reduced the premium. Then I got the alarm installed. I was surprised that there was no reduction for that!

    Does Anybody Here Collect really Old National Geographics?

    There are 3 watchers of my eBay auction and I made them an offer. And I told them Threat, No, Promise, No, Reality, Yes! If nobody buys the 55 boxes they go back into the pallet rack and when I'm gone my Executor is going to put everything into recycling!

    Does Anybody Here Collect really Old National Geographics?

    I took my mother's collection of unused stamps to a friends shop for appraisal and, you guessed it, face value!

    Does Anybody Here Collect really Old National Geographics?

    Two years ago I made a deal with my friend and ended up with 55 file boxes of National Geographic inventory covering from 1890 to 2016! I did an inventory which amounted to 1500 lines on Excel and 2500 pieces! I have had it on eBay now for 3 months and nobody has stepped up. I figured out that...

    Does Anybody Here Collect really Old National Geographics?

    Now that I am Max Wedgeless I’ve decided to work on some of my hobbies. In 1966, my Scout Troop, before curbside recycling, would collect newspapers, monthly, as a troop competition and the local scrap yard would leave us a dumpster. About 1 yard high of papers was worth 100 pounds. The Scout...

    "The 383 was a bored out 361"?

    Back in the day, 1968/'69, I wanted to race my '59 Sport Suburban 361, L/SA! I had the 361 bored 60 over. By the calculations, Pi r squared x height x 8, it works out to 372. I still have the block, pistons, rings and the Cast Iron Torqueflite. Now that I've sold the Max, if I can find a...

    Selling a car for cash?

    Took a cashier's check when I sold the Max 3 weeks ago. I called my tax accountant and he said it was a capital gain. I paid 3 grand for the car in 1985 plus there's going to be a WHOLE bunch of storage that I can account for over 40 years!

    I get disappointed a lot...

    When my wife died somebody told me "God has a new plan for you"! It helped. Then the next year I got laid off. My question was Is this the new plan or the New New plan? At almost 74 when I wake up in the morning I still marvel that I have when so many who are younger have passed! I still have...

Unfortunately she's twice the person I am! Pizza at Marco's bacon and onions! Bacon with extra bacon with a side of...

    Do your cars have a names?

    Of course the Plymouth was MAX! My first car, the '59 Sport Suburban Golden Commando was Thunder Pig! My 1960 Mercedes 190 Diesel was Liebschen. And yes it was parked next to MAX at one point and I had both ends of the acceleration curve! I've had four 1 ton vans all named Three Ton Tessie I II...
