I still love going to local junkyards in my area. I just picked up a 1975 318 v8 for my 67 Plymouth Fury wagon a few weeks ago. When I do find cars similar to the ones I own at junkyards I try to get what I can from them. ... View more

I had a 1985 Yamaha RZ500 years ago. I took it to Laconia bike week back in the mid 90s with my Harley buddies. Mine was the only one we saw there. That motor screamed! When the power band came on just hold onto those handlebars. I eventually wore the engine down and it needed a rebuild. I got into the hot rods more and sold it years later for more than twice what I bought it for WITH the bad motor. When it was gone I told my wife that we probably would never see another one. ...

Being a Mass. resident, I have a few trusted friends that work on my vehicles. They've been doing so for decades AND they're honest. Their shops are handed down from their fathers. I think you know how I voted. ... View more

I really liked the 80s Dodge turbo cars. I bought a brand new Dodge Shadow turbo ES. A fun little quick car. Too bad it got totalled. That thing really handled great. I would buy another one today if I could. ... View more

The Porsche 959. I had a dealer brochure from local dealership as a kid and that was in it. Loved it ever since. #2 would be the gullwing. I've always loved them. ... View more

Dealing with points and condensers was wearing on me for years. I've finally switched my last old Mopar to electronic ignition. Now all 4 of my 60s Mopars are the same. 1965 Dodge and Plymouth and 1969 Dodge and Plymouth. At least now I can interchange the ignition boxes when one of them breaks down. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. ... View more

Now how much support from say, AAA can we expect? At least now if we run out of gas we can just fill a gas can to refuel and be on our way. What if you lose your charge? Do you have to carry extra battery packs for a booster charge? Is it like carrying a booster pack when your battery dies? And what about frigid weather? How far will you be able to go when the temp drops down below 20 degrees F? Are there any answers to these questions because I haven't seen them.   On a side note, my older brother and his wife bought his and hers Priuses about 10 years ago or so. They were fun in the beginning but they didn't age well (the Priuses). He now drives a Jaguar SUV and loves it. ... View more

The Munsters is one of my all time favorite shows. I loved it and still do. ... View more

I enjoyed my models as a kid in the 70s. I also enjoyed my older brothers models, just a little too much. I broke some of them and he gave me an a$$ whippin' LOL. I tried getting my sons into them but they weren't interested. I had a big box full of various models in various stages. I gave them to a friend of mine that still enjoys building them. He has health issues so this is his piece of mind. ... View more

HA, this just happened to my 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite convertible. Thankfully it happened in my driveway. Had my son crank the engine while I checked for spark. After hitting the points with some sandpaper and using a screwdriver to push them back and forth, it got spark. Put it all together and it started right up. Ordered a new set of points from the local parts store. ... View more

Because I own multiple 1960s Mopars I have a good pile of parts that I do pick at still for the smallest things. I have a few parts car but I have sold parts that are of no use to me cars. I have a parts 66 Charger but I don't have a 66 67 Charger driver so I sold a lot of the body parts and interior because I only need the non specific parts. ... View more

A very good looking vehicle. I just hope it's durable. Friends with Jeeps have had many issues with durability and they would not buy another Jeep. This may be the answer. ... View more

Just got my 69 Dodge Dart up and running after 5 years of sitting outside. Fixed a couple of electrical glitches, New battery, changed the oil and antifreeze, put in fresh gas and it actually ran pretty good on it's own. Tried it back and forth in the driveway and transmission and brakes were doing good. Now to take it on the road. Renewed the registration and away I went. The engine is a 440 big block so I had to hit the highway. Plenty of power and torque. I was having a little too much fun. On the way home the temp gauge started to rise rather quickly. Good thing I was close to home. My son and I pushed it back in the driveway. I popped the hood and it threw the fan belt. No fan and no water pump makes it get hot very quickly. On my way to get another belt. ... View more
