    1966 Volkswagen Type 2 21-Window Deluxe Samba sold on BaT

    Very cool, not $205k cool. I’ll stick with my wife’s much more affordable ‘67.

    MECUM predicts $1 Million + for Hemi Daytona at INDY

    The mom of a friend of mine drove a hemi 4-speed Daytona in the early 70’s. Her dad got it cheap as a leftover. She hated it. Comment was, “the only good thing about it was that I could find it in a parking lot”. This was around Erie, PA. Red car, black interior.

    What can you reasonably expect for fuel economy?

    I get around 12-13 with a stockish 426W. If you care about this stuff it’s a really good idea to check your odometer over some distance (like that 100 mi) against GPS doing the same thing. Even with the “right” gear in the tranny the odometer can be pretty wrong. I “lost” 1.5 mpg when I did this...

    Not a B body but a great looking Chrysler on BaT Not mine

    My first car was this, but a convertible in white. Nice car. For all the relative “bigness” they don’t really weigh a lot more than the B-bodies. Meaning not a 6000lb car or anything, mine weighed in at 4300.

    I thought this was interesting.

    That totally rocks. Gotta say I have little love for over-modified muscle cars but just putting an old body over a new car, awesome.

    What if your Charger won at a prestigious muscle car show but 30% had to 2nd Gen Chargers.

    So many things are just like that. Part I maybe don’t get is for regular businesses. If I need to hire someone I’m going to get the best person for that role. If that person is a black lesbian then great, if that person is an Anglo white guy then great. I can’t afford sub par, whatever their...

    What if your Charger won at a prestigious muscle car show but 30% had to 2nd Gen Chargers.

    Pretty much pure bullshit. Let’s make things worse so that everyone can win a trophy.

    Has this ever happened to you with your significant other?

    Been there once or thrice

    The cold hard truth about electric vehicles in winter

    I don’t have a problem with electric vehicles, but I don’t want one either. For that matter I don’t want a new car with no key and a big screen TV built into the dash. The hard “electric” mandates are from people who have no freaking clue. I think a mix with some sort of hybrid is much more...

    Jegs, the Famous Auto Parts Catalog Company, Sold to Private Equity Firm

    Yeah. I worked for a division of Texas Instruments bought by Bain Capital. They turned it into Sensata Technologies, really didn’t do a bad job. Still some stupidity but not much different than was there before. Could go either way with Jegs but I’m betting they improve it. If they just made it...

    this happened a block away from me

    Wow. That’s really rough. Good that no one was hurt. Place that big I can’t imagine there isn’t some other hurt though like job / business loss etc.

    Help with transmission numbers

    Looks like a 1970, Lynch road. Would have been a coronet or belvedere family. That’s about all that can be told.

    E-bay anyone still use it? Buy or sell?

    I sell a variety of stuff you’d just never find a local audience for. Lasers, laser power meters, reloading stuff whatever. They do suck and they continue to suck more. Fees, tax forms, sales tax, might as well give the stuff away pretty soon. No wonder inflation is high.

    Pocket camera

    I have a Canon PowerShot SX730HS. Pretty small, 20mp, 40x optical zoom. There’s no phone that’ll zoom like this but even not zoomed the images are awesome. This model has been around a couple years so the price has come down a bit. Most of my pictures still happen with the iPhone but this is...

    This '70 Newport is kind of a mess but it's cheap. $3,499

    Value = 1 core 383 + 1 core 727 + scrap value - nuisance = a few hundred bucks? Maybe?

    Bullet Hole? I'm Not So Sure

    Looks like it but I’ve done that and if it is there’s another mark somewhere. Bullet didn’t go through and drop instantly. At the minimum it hit the trunk lid. If there’s no other mark someone hit it with something.

    My new garage buddy

    If you lived near Fall River Massachusetts you would have named him Manny. 70% of all males in the city are named Manny. Cute puppy!

    New obnoxious ad?

    To be honest, I didn’t even notice that was a forum choice! Seems like the appropriate place though. Could you just move it? Seems silly to re-make the post and have a duplicate.
