The ripples in the VIN tell me it has been pried off of something at one point, and probably put on this car in order to title it. Glad to see that the seller added info on the discrepancy. Maybe there is hope for used car salesmen yet.

Why build in what will be a failure point for DYI'rs and untrained/unknowing mechanics? Most cars are built without torque-to-yield bolts on the calipers and they function just fine. What benefit of using these bolts outweighs the risk of bolt failure when they fail to get replaced? It's a...

That order 1-5 is ok, but do the headliner first.

I recently sold a full front + back set with tracks for a 69 Charger for $1000k. Driver quality with some sun damage and a few small tears. Buyer was happy at that price.

Have fun torturing people. Someone can fix it later.

If it's a real 440 Charger it is semi-rare, but still not bringing in big bucks. If it does run/drive ok, maybe $7-10k depending on closer inspection and various factors. If he spent a day cleaning it up and throwing a carpet in it... more.

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...
