I know where there is one almost identical to this sitting in a basement leaning against the wall. It has been there over 35 years that I know of. I asked the old fellow who owned it if I could see it and he said yes but it's not for sale so don't even ask. He said he and his wife had their first date on it and rode it all the time. She had passed and it would never be for sell. I envied and admired him at the same time 🙂 ... View more

What with the last 2 comments referring to the name Karen in them? I know it's meant as a manner of disrespect ? As far as your comments I would suggest that you sell any Classics you have because it seems apparent that you are not enjoying the hobby at all . ... View more

I enjoy fixing things and tinkering with them to see how they work. At least half of my joy of owning a classic is working on it and improving it. I came from a middle class family too and my Dad did most of his own repairs and all of the maintenance on his cars. I watched him and handed him wrenches as I was growing up and that fueled the passion. I still remember when I got my first car My Dad bought a small toolbox and went through his tools and put me a basic set of tools together and said. "Now leave my tools alone" LOL  ... View more

If you put a Pertronix unit in your car always carry the points and hardware with you to change it back on the road in case the Pertonix fails. I'ts a 15 minute job at most and cheap insurance 🙂   ... View more

Before I load the trailer I like drive a couple of miles and then stop and check the wheels bearing caps or the wheels on the trailer to see if they are getting hot, If they burn you it means you have a bad wheel bearing or a brake hanging up and should get it repaired before you use the trailer. I always check the tires with a piece of pipe like the truckers do also and check to see how hot they are getting. If they are getting too hot it usually means the load is to heavy and you could have a blow out. ... View more

Good article but I try to never never use starting fluid. A little dribble of gas in the carb usually gets the job done. Starting fluid is a last resort. I do use Stabil 360 and never have a problem with ethanol messing up things.    ... View more
