Denver is under a dense fog warning tonight. As I explained the other day, it's not fog, it's low clouds!

Light snow and 30 degrees at the Rockies-Mariners game at Coors Field.

Snow today and tomorrow. It's funny here because what looks like fog here are just clouds below 7300'. The indicator is fog collects in valleys. Clouds are thicker on hilltops. It would be extremely unusual to have enough humidity to create fog. Even when it's very cold it's never humid...

It's got a 400. Sounds like they lowered the compression from 1971. In the movie, they say it has a 429. pecs datasheet with technical data and performance data plus an analysis of the direct market competition of Ford LTD Convertible 400 V-8 Cruise-O-Matic (aut. 3) in 1972, the model with...

Funny you should mention barge. The stunt that didn't go quite as planned.

I think the only feasible way to convert it to a 4-speed would be to find a donor car. I'd have to figure out which models and year would swap.

Yep, Custom 500. All LTDs are hardtops. I'm guessing I can fake a Hurst 4-speed shifter moving the column auto to the floor. I think they make auto shifters that simulate the look of 4-speeds. I once read the engine and shift sounds were borrowed from a Mustang. I was surprised the movie car...

Did you ever see the episode of The Andy Griffith Show with her? This was before Jeannie. Andy was trying to explain why her presence in town was making all the women uncomfortable. The way he put it was God was way too generous to her when he was handing out gifts.

Just a bit of background on the car. We are closing in on being done with the 1971 Charger 500. When I bought it, it had a 440 with a spun bearing but the original numbers matching 383 came with it. I had the 383 rebuilt years ago and once it was installed and started it had a pretty bad...

One problem I have with bright yellow B Bodies is the taxi cab look. I'd like to change the color of the '70 Coronet 500 project. It's in its original color, cream. I like Citron yellow but it's a '71 color. BTW thanks for the Hagerty article.

I think it was beige. I wouldn't mind Citron Yella.

I've seen really nice cars sell at auction and the only reason for the low price was the color choice. There was a boring color Super Bee and they thought the bland color hurt the sale.

Let's say from 1968-1972. B-Bodies only. Originality does not count. Just in your experience what shade brings the most money on the auction block?
