My late father had a very valuable gun collection along with a lot of valuable accruements including manuals, books, cartridges and more. He kept an inventory of his collection with values. He specified an auction house he trusted and made it clear he felt a collector gun auction house closer...

Someone here posted this video a few months ago of kids making oil filters in primitive very unsafe conditions. They didn't look Chinese though, they looked like Pakistanis, Indians or Bangladesh perhaps. Scary, and possibly where some of our junky product is coming from in recent times...

Noel seemed to be a big B body fan. I wonder if he is a member here? Or anyone from IN know him?

Looks like a lot of interesting cars will end up at a government auction someday in the near future. I see a roadrunner, a Charger, a Coronet R/T and is that 2 superbirds towards the back? Audit finds former Indiana sheriff Jamey Noel made over $3 million in illegal purchases I am reminded of a...

It's interesting how a good or bad experience with a business can influence a person for the rest of their lives. Over 20 years ago, I was remodeling a bathroom at my house and bought a ceramic pedestal sink at Menards. A few days after I brought it home, I got around to opening the boxes and...

Magnum is building cars, it’s a well known shop. I’m not sure how the name change and division with the parts business that is still called Blue Star took place. Magnum moved to a new larger facility 10 or 12 years ago that is close to the tollway too. Blue Star Performance | Classic Mopar...

Blue Star sells parts. He used to be semi partnered up with Mark of Magnum but they are not working together now I don’t think.

Not near Chicago, but perhaps the most cost effective way to get the metalwork done on a car that requires a ton of replacement would be to ship the car to GA to the AMD Installation center. The Installation Center

I registered my car for Moparty the other day, and on top of raising the price for entering a car to $95, they now have an option you could purchase for $8 and change, for insurance in case you have to cancel your trip to the show! I know they have trip insurance for expensive vacations and...

It's a bittersweet holiday for me. I have wanted a hemi car since I was a teenager but haven't accomplished that dream yet! I have a cool model of one. I have nice models of hemi cars. I even have a cool hemi dog! But no real one.

I have trouble with my legs and put AMP research electric running boards on my 21 RAM 2500. The step is 14” above the ground when deployed.

Sad to hear, I was a big fan. He outlived most of the rest of the band. His son and one of Allman's sons have a band that is making an appearance next month near me that I am planning to buy tickets for.

Very true there. Some repo items we take for granted and then at some point we find they got discontinued or the source went out of business. Or they only make one run, then don't make any more after the supply runs out. Same goes for some common service parts. I used to work for a major...

If I wanted to move somewhere like Mexico that is teaming with gangs, cartels, high crime rates, roads full of crazy drivers, and cops/courts who won't do anything about any of that, along with a leftist government, and most everyone not speaking English, I can save myself the trouble of moving...

My dad was a hoarder (not of car parts, he had several hobbies he was passionate about and had gathered quite a bit of "stuff" related to them over 60 plus years). Much of the basement, 2 bedrooms, a lot of the attic of my parents house, and 4 storage units were piled with stuff. It was a heck...

I am not sure if the auctioneer can really see individuals among the hundreds in the bidder seating area trying to bid, or even if the bidder can follow the action close enough to follow what is going on with the pricing. It's really fast paced and noisy there. But the bidders assistants, who...

I believe it's 10% for the seller if there is a reserve, but 5% if they will list it "no reserve". On top of that, there is a fee to enter a car into the auction which varies depending on what day one lists it. If on a Wednesday or Thursday for example, it might only be $500 to enter it. But...

I bought a car at a Mecum auction over 10 years ago. It worked out well for me, but it may have been beginners luck as I’ve heard and seen enough sketchy activities there that I feel it’s a similar environment to a casino. Sometimes a buyer or seller wins, often they lose, but the house always...

The USPS just canceled their contract with Fed Ex for doing their express mail and is going to now use UPS. Fed Ex is too bad for USPS even!

I can't say much here on the car or I'll probably get b-tchslapped by mods for supposedly running a for sale ad, but I had it on cars online for around 82K, then then lowered it to 78 or 79 in '18 and would get around 1 serious or semi serious call a year on it. Only 2 or 3 people ever came to...
