About SJ

SJ

After growing up with drum brakes, I hate them. I will tolerate them for the rear if I have too. They almost got me killed numerous times. Higher speeds and water they are practically useless. Around town in the dry, yea ok. The only ones that sorta worked at high speed wore out the drums faster than the shoes and were useless until heated up well(on my '59 Pontiac).

I hope its gets restored to at least a good looking driver. I want to vomit every time I see the dismal shape Original Bullitt Mustang. Bought a 2 year old '70 SportsRoof with the 351 Cleveland 4-bbl., Grabber Blue, it was gorgeous.

Better late than never I guess, just in time for the EV Revolution, should have ditched the pushrods long ago. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on pushrods and love them in their time period.

SJ

All pre-change variations should go up in value. I understand their reasoning behind the change, but I no longer consider it a Corvette.

SJ

Another great article. The 455's deserve this, usually overshadowed by Chevy and Ford.

Fun to drive and a nightmare to own. Nickel and dimes you until you get the big hit and then back too.....Who would use a carbon throw out bearing?

SJ

I remember the brakes as being terrible on my bosses brand new one. They went almost to the floor before stopping, the dealer told him it was normal. Nice car though other than that.

Great article. I have owned 4 Fox's. Unless you have found something different I believe the FI '85 was still 165 HP, there were rumors they paired it with the roller engine but there is no evidence to support it. I actually mistakenly bought one thinking it was carbureted, that's what I got for not doing my homework for once. I did get the 4 bbl. '85 later though. Also the main T5's weakness were the shift forks that bent during aggressive shifting, easy fix to put in an aftermarket shifter and adjust the stops. I put in an old school Hurst Shifter with the White Ball, just like my first Mustang a '67 GT 2+2. Again one of the better succinct overviews.

SJ

Imagine what it would be worth if you actually enjoyed it for 100K miles.

Interesting article. Having grown up in the '50's,'60's,'70's I can't tell what brand the car's are nowadays. I do understand why, and luckily I am a Pony Car Guy, about the only newer cars I tell easily.

SJ

The good old days!

SJ

Beat me to it, live 2 minutes from.

SJ

No surprise there, it is the most iconic American Car, Corvette would be next. Surprised though on the Benz being next, until I saw Europe as the biggest importer.

SJ

Growing up a Vette had to be red to be a true Vette, kinda like the Ferrari.

SJ

Amazing! Also amazing on how many I remember seeing at their inception. Tri Power 421 was called a tiger, I thought the GTO was the only tiger, learn something every day. Keep them coming.

SJ

102-hp Corvair Turbo Air-6 That was the NA version, the Turbo was 150 HP. I had a '62 Monza 110 HP, '63 Spyder 150 HP, '66 Corsa 4 carbs. All great cars but the '66 was best. Nice article.

SJ

Lip stick on a pig. High performance FWD is an oxymoron. RIP, please stay that way.

SJ

Bought my last straight six in 1970.

SJ

Interesting thanks, surprised to about the Jensen's MIA, but still good. I suspect it was done on purpose to pull certain people's chain.

SJ

Never heard this before! Great story!

SJ

Bob Hope should have drove it. Great article!

SJ

Great keep'em coming!

SJ

Had a 2.6 Capri, it reminded me of my first Mustang, just like their ad said. I don't believe anything Hollywood puts out without verification. Great article, again.

SJ

I can't believe you left out the best one! Of course its the L 48!

SJ

One of the best "smaller collections".

SJ

Its not a 2+2, didn't come out until 1966, I thought it (2+2)was kinda ugly compared to the regular coupe.

SJ

Good article, fantastic vehicle.

SJ

I was in my buddies'67 390 GT C6, I can attest that was real tire smoke. He got it for his 18th B'day, 2nd day he almost melted the back RR tire, Polyglas tire. Did it right in front of his house while the folks weren't home. We didn't notice the mailman, busted, sat in the garage for two weeks punishment. One of the best sounding stock exhausts. Only car I actually saw smoke from the front tires going around a sharp corner.

SJ

How about the rocket powered outer space Fiero?

SJ

My dream car!

SJ

My Dad had a '56 Caddy, not the limo, hell of a car. Better than sitting in the living room with those seats.

Not any crazier than some other things sold there(and other auctions). Just wish I had that kind of money not to buy it.

After Pet Rocks nothing surprises me anymore.

Chagrined then relieved that they ditched the SB Chevy for a Flathead Ford V8. Love the louvers.

'70-'72 were some of the best of the era, some CR's went down yes, but might even be the best years. Hate it when people lump these into the later '70's junk. Boss 429/302, Hemi, LT1, 454 etc etc etc etc etc.

Brabus 900 Rocket Edition, got a laugh out of it, looks like something from a video game.

You can thank the Fast & Furious Franchise for many of those I think.

SJ · ‎17-06-2021

Awesome car with or without the "pedigree". I got to drive one in 1968, I was a Pontiac guy at the time with a bored out 389 Catalina, over a 100 CI less and went like hell so surprised!

Yugo's can't be far behind!

In the JDM world, this offering is as significant as a Ferrari 250 GTO is to Ferrari fans. Luckily not my world.

SJ · ‎14-06-2021

Great article, brings back memories.

SJ · ‎13-06-2021

Great!

SJ · ‎13-06-2021

Interesting,well done, maybe a USA/Canada/Japan/ other interesting countries too.

SJ · ‎08-06-2021

Great article!

It is what is, griping ain't gonna change anything, but it sure does help with it.

Charger, Electra, should be a shoo in like the "Lightning".

SJ · ‎04-06-2021

That is so cool, even the engine looks unique with those heads, can't believe i haven't seen this before.

SJ · ‎04-06-2021

Interesting!

That engine picture looks exactly like my old 1955 Metropolitan engine(sans the SU's). There was a boss cast in the block for an oil filter but not machined, always thought that was weird/cheapo of them. 1100CC if I remember right. I could only beat 10 speed bikes and VW Vans, (not the car though).

Get rid of all those junkers and get 2-3 good ones.
