    I'm thinking this Ford might make a good Burt Reynolds "White Lightning" clone.

    Are there any other bicycle collectors out there?

    Here's mine. I buy and sell them. Schwinns Lemon Peeler Grey Ghost Coal Krate Orange Krate Pea Picker Grape Krate This is a weird one. It's called a Big Mo. It's like the Schwinn OCC Choppers but slightly larger and overall better built. Still new in the wrapper. I got it from some Korean...

    Header problems on the 383.

    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...

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    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?

    Old cop shows.

    The detectives always got the clues or broke the case by knocking the **** out of the people on the street. Right up to the 90's Miami Vice. I guess phone cams have ended all that. All you have to do is watch youtube. Cops can't touch you now without getting charged. I'm sure some will...

    Secondary water temp sensor location?

    I also posted this on the general forum. We are wiring up the new aluminum radiator with electric fans on the 71 Charger 500. I know where the sensor by the water pump is, but I need another spot for the fan sensor. We found a plug on the rear of the intake manifold. Will that work or is the...

    A secondary temp sensor location on a 383 4bbl???

    We are wiring up the new aluminum radiator with electric fans on the 71 Charger 500. I know where the sensor by the water pump is, but I need another spot for the fan sensor. We found a plug on the rear of the intake manifold. Will that work or is the another one? I don't want to sacrifice...

    Something you should know about hospital bills!

    I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks with kidney stones then and a subsequent infection last year. The bill would have been $400,000 without insurance. Luckily I had parts A and B from Medicare. That reduced it to $4,000. I heard if you asked you could get it reduced. My daughter the...

    You guys know I'm into '73 Grand Ams.

    I've got three of them, none are finished. Two 455's and one hot rodded 400. I know a lot about GA's but even I learned some new things. Basically the second half of this video. Not putting down Mopars, I have 4 of them.

    The Pontiac Trans Sport dustbuster van or other weird cars you like.

    Now that these vans have gone down as a historic failure I really want one. It has to be white and in relatively good shape. Let me know if you find one. It looks like the F-ing Space shuttle. Are there any oddball cars you like that everyone else hates?

    Guess the vehicle in the photo.

    My son is an engineer for the Colorado Department of Transportation. He sent this photo to me. Guess which vehicle he drove today instead of his state-issued truck. Hint: It's a 1971.

    Aluminum radiator/electric fans for '71 Charger 383?

    We are at the stage of the restoration where the newly rebuilt 383 (original) is starting running and idling. While we were filling the cooling system the engine was starting to get hot. We shut it off before it got hot. It has a 26" radiator out of a Chrysler 300 Hurst. It has no shroud. I...

    Today was a good day for the '71 Charger 500.

    We were having trouble getting fuel to the engine. We got the fuel flowing and the engine sounded great. Close to being on the road.

    '72 Polara $2,500 52,000 miles no title. Not mine.

    Let's just talk cash money. How much to covert a 1970 Coronet 500 to a 5 or 6 speed manual?

    The car: 1970 Coronet 500 very stock in semi rough shape. hardly any rust. 383 column shift auto. Realistically changing to a Tremec 5 or 6 speed manual? $$$$$? I'd like to recreate a car I lusted for in high school. Huge air shocks, big rear meats.

    For those without Motor Trend. Hemi in a junkyard Belvedere.

    It's on regular YouTube. Warning, they skip a lot of the build. Another one from YouTube. I bought a rusty 1969 Charger and it's worse than I thought.

    List your car-related pet's names here.

    We have the big male Newfoundland at 165 pounds. His name is Diesel. His son is a svelt 110 pounds and his name is Nitro. When the kids were little we had a cat named Shelby but he was too mean. We had to get rid of him. He kept biting the children.

    Theft recovery photo of the Kia. Follow up.

    They did allow her to grab two jackets from the recovered Kia Seltos SUV. I wonder if it will go to the Denver Copart auction. The window says, BIOHAZARD METH AND FETENYL POSITIVE. She got a $15,000 settlement for it. High miles for the year. 135,000 miles.

    An interesting car theft story close to home.

    My ex, Jacque, walked into her garage a couple of weeks ago only to find her Kia Seltos stolen. Here are the details in the order in which they were discovered. She didn't leave the garage door open so someone must have opened it manually, making less noise. Her keys were in the SUV. (I...
