I bet not. People can be so compulsive to start with. Add to that the plain fact that cars make people stupid.
Of course its not rare, and only has value to me, so $75 was probably fair. Difference between me and most people is my projects get finished. $2000 (and counting) in mostly used parts, value my time at zero, and its fully functional again, including full airbag system and air conditioning. Drove it this morning. Most don't have this skill.
it boggles my mind how many grown adults don't know the difference between "sale" and "sell" it may be runner up to "set" and "sat".
There are two early ('64-1/2 to '66) Mustangs in my neighbourhood, both in good condition and driven regularly (summer only).
Yes of course you are correct here but then again that’s the point of your reply. Nothing to do at all with the original discussion and topic. But thanks anyway. Class, close attention to today’s lesson!
When my maternal Grandmother died in 1987 her 1973 Pontiac Bonneville with <18k miles and a 455 engine ended up at my dad’s house, where it remains to this day sinking deeper and deeper into the ground. Nearby is his 1979 Chevy Caprice which hadn’t moved for years even before he stopped driving. People can be weird about cars.
I would absolutely love to get the 455 and THM-400 from that big Pontiac. That would make my 68 Firebird a rocket.
That year model 455 was so de-tuned, it probably had about 190 hp.
True in its original form but a standard rebuild using .030 overbored 9:1 pistons, “068” cam, dual exhaust, and my 1970 intake and Quadrajet would wake it up. The block, crankshaft, rods (new bolts), and heads can easily be enhanced by simple cleaning, machine work, using quality components. The low compression smog motors of the mid 70s are typically the same as pre-smog motors with lower compression, milder camshaft, lean carburetor, and lazy timing. Easy fix…
