I’ve put this up before, I was horrified when I went to law school 45 years ago, medical student living in married student housing next to me said same deal in his profession. I graduated bottom of my class while driving the truck to pay for it, can’t tell the good ones by class rank alone, but...

Happy birthday and many more! :bday::bday:

My 440 GTX was owned by the local Plymouth dealer for 15 years, and he modified the cam, but not in the usual way. He replaced the stock high performance 268/284 unit with the milder cam used in non Road Runner 383 four barrel cars, and 440 powered station wagons, which were rated at 350...

The place for autographs is the FBBO tent at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in July. Hawk and Pistol Pete have brought the club luncheon on Saturday to an amazing level. I drive my GTX to the event every year, just one of many member cars making the trek. The two GTXs on my left are also FBBO...

Welcome from PA. Nice score, not many that solid in your neck of the woods. I worked in northwest Indiana in the 90s, daily drove a couple rust free desert 60s Imperials that used get a lot of attention, with the lack of rust. I've owned four '69 GTXs, factory black car is about as good as it...

When I was terminated from my management consultant deal in a final round of layoffs, I was asked to remain as a driver, with credit for accrued benefits, no severance. I politely asked to review the severance package before making a decision. It was an easy choice, and hard to keep a straight...

I would recommend you seek advice from an employment lawyer where you live.

One of my trucking buddies, who is a hard core Ford guy swears by them. He paid $3200 for his current one, spent $200 to fix the climate control assembly, now it drives like a new car.

I got 20 mpg out of my first GTX when I drove it 600 miles to Myrtle Beach on my honeymoon in 1977, back in the 55 mph days. That engine ran extremely lean, tail pipes burned white on the interior. Baby Blue would do 16 mpg if I stayed out of it, but my buddy Bob had tuned the daylights out of...

The last five years I ran my tractor trailer, I figured my operating costs at about 85 cents per mile, variation up or down with fuel price fluctuations, my highest expense. Cost for a smaller truck produce prices at the lower end of the spectrum. An enclosed trailer, operated by high end...

My fifth GTX was a stock rebuild, with the exception of a Hemi grind purple shaft cam. I bought the car in Iowa in 2016, flew out, and drove it back to Pennsylvania, 1400 miles. Good test of octane results. In Iowa, the best I could get was 91, and the car ran, but slight problem of run on...

Wife had one in college. Her family tree destroys anything mechanical. That one held up.

Sometimes less is more, and in your case, Ed, I think you are wise to stay the course.

I found it amusing that when I went to school in Iowa, locals considered Pennsylvania east coast, but a decade later, when I was working in NYC, the locals considered my hometown to be in the "midwest."

Small sample in my personal experience, not statistically significant, but does show that results vary. My dad had it done at 82 with a perfect result. Downside was he lived long enough for vascular dementia to set in, spent his last three years in full time nursing care. Two guys I drove with...

I remember a guy who bought one of Tim Wellborn's Chargers, and a '69 Hemi Road Runner, both went to Apex in Wisconsin for deep pocket nut and bolt restorations. He owned a dozen Dodge dealerships. The Road Runner ended up in one of his showrooms, probably written off as a marketing expense. At...

Similar experience, but mine was a '67 Valiant 100. The first brand new Mopar my dad ever bought, after a dash fire motivated him to trade our '64 Jeep Wagoneer. Car was one of the best constructed 1960s Mopars I ever drove, fit and finish far above most of what my family owned in that era...

I’ve posted this before. Hemi Road Runner. Ex brother-in-law’s company car. Arrived at the dealership with main bearings gone. Pedal to floor. Locked up, car lives today as numbers matching.

Makes sense to me, when you came of driving age, that's how most of them looked. I'm a bit older, and when I was 16, most of them were still running same size tires, with the original owners, seems to explain why I've leaned toward stock appearance. On the other hand, the few '68s I saw in the...

When I was living in the Chicago area in the 1990s, I used to attend the Kruse auction in Auburn, Indiana with a fellow Imperial club member, who was a law student at the time. We would try to see who could spot the oldest guy with the youngest woman, and then try to guess what he would bid on.
