    I dont know if the haters are goon hate remark was intended for me but i will say this. I like Nascar. Ticket sales are so bad they do not release the numbers anymore. They are about to price themselves out of the market.

    I have raced before but it was only quater midgets. I raced about 1 1/2 years it was not as much fun as kick boxing.

    I do not get on the internet and say bad things about anybody. Its just not me. I cant get mad at someone i cant see. Its just silly.

    Gary, if you are heading into south jersey, as in your other post, I would like to extend the olive branch and meet up with you, if possible, for a cup of Joe. I don't drink, but i will have a coke. If not, I totally understand that you might just be in a hurry or too busy to stop. I know you made a comment to me in another post that, You don't know me, But I sure would like to. Your call.[:)]John.

    I have decided to buy a 1969 dodge super bee. What is a good place to start to look for one. I want something that is in good shape. No body work. I can do the rest of the retorations myself. I restored a few musule cars in my younger days and this one is for my son. I looked at ebay and craigs list. Email me with any info if you can. You dont have to post it here. Oak.

    If you do ever find this particular vehicle you are looking for let me know what it is once you've found a few..

    I dont care about any others, but after 111 posts and no resolution to the question, I'd like to see it or them once you have found it or them.

    Good luck.

    My wife got a 2008 Mustang convertible with the pony package and shaker 5000 stereo. Did not care for that but it was free. The car had 8 miles on it.

    The car has 168,000 miles on it now and the only problems it has had was she had to replace the upper ball joints.

    No brakes, starter, or anything else. The worst thing i can say about the car is the transmission is sealed. You can not change the fluid yourself. Also there is no dipstick on the tranny. That might be normal now for all cars.

    I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Oh just remembered something else the right door panel above the elbow rest has come unglued she told me about it Monday.

    The only bad thing i can say is my wife has to have Pirelli tires and they are pricey.

    She drives 50 miles each way to work on the interstate so the miles add up quick. That is probably the reason why nothing else has broke.

    I would recommend the Mustang to anybody and i am a Corvette fan.

    I was wondering what kind of insurance value are you able to put on the Camaro? I'm not asking what you paid but what value will insurance let you put on it. Can you put more value than you paid if you got a good deal on something or even had it given to you? Just wondering how they figure the value of a one of a kind car like this. Thanks

    Ok, no name calling, no BS.

    2 Simple questions.

    Was public safety increased by the passage of the Hayes Admenment added to the FOPA86, which banned the sale on newly manufactured MG's to the public?

    And if so, how?

    Also, you stated that NO weapons were banned with the passage of the GCA'68.

    I pointed out that MG's could no longer be imported intact, and that handguns had to meet a "points" system, so guns like the Walther PPk and the "Baby" Colt .25 were no longer importable.

    That "banned" in my book.

    Please explain your view on that.

    Thank you.

    I need a driver side mirror for the Vette. I have the auto-dimming outside mirror and it has a green tint and a halo around objects. I was told that the glass is separated from the film that darkens. I was also told I will have to buy the entire mirror and mount and have it painted to match.

    Is this true and where can I find one?

    And do you know anything about a LS7 crate engine that puts out 630 horse without a blower/supercharger?

    Thx.

    S/F, My son asked me to buy him a muscle car for his 18th birthday that the two of us could restore together. Iam thinking between a 69 roadrunner or a 69 super bee. My friend has a 66 roadrunner that is up for sale but way to much money. What would be a good muscle car for us to restore together??? When the time comes I might be calling on you to help us out in finding something. I would even be willing to drive to NC to pick it up. Well talk when We decide what to do. John

    Give me a pm when you feel the urge. Pass on your friends 66 RoadRunner. They didn't start making RoadRunners until 1968

    With the help of Dad & friends I restored the '67 GTO(the one on the right). Bought the car for $100[:D]. It had 60K miles on it. The original owner had blown a head gasket, took the heads off, had them redone, wrapped in plastic and left in the trunk--never got around to fixing it. They let it sit in the back yard for over 10 years under the sprinklers! So you can imagine the water stains on the glass and the surface rust. The interior was perfect with no rips or cracks in the dash--although I did replace the carpet.

    Had the 400 motor gone through completely along with redoing the suspension/steering components--dad did a great custom exhaust for it(great thing about having a dad who owned a muffler shop[:D]). I drove that car every day for 5 years--sadly and stupidly sold it cuz my first wife complained it wasn't modern enough--thankfully my current wife is not like that and someday I may get another. The '64 GTO next to mine was my friends and we cruised that thing til forever in our college years. Dad had a really slick '66 GTO convertible. Mine had the His/Hers Hurst automatic which is a fun auto trans. Be aware though that when you restore the "2nd tier" muscle cars like GTO's, Olds 442's, Buick GS, or some of the Mopar cars parts availability are not as common as with the Camaro & Mustang(and yes I know these two are technically pony cars--I still consider them muscle cars). Probably easier to find aftermarket parts these days with the internet than when I restored mine in the early 90's though.
