About SAG

SAG

Go to Jay Leno's Garage. He did a show on a Mercedes Benz From that period. Not sure when people needed to feel like they were 'sitting in a church' driving a high performance car? If your "Old" turn down your hearing aids. It Works for me!

40 YRS INDY, IMSA, FIA Restorations

SAG

Well let's scare the 'Hell' out of a "composite body" car owner. Unless they own a "Indy Car" or other high end Race cars_ IMSA, FIA They think your trying to "rip them a new one". Their Mechanics "Take them to the BANK" every time they look at it. Composites: A Major TOXIC environment, Mechanical Dermentitus & the rest of the fun from solvents. 40 yrs in the Business Owners: my heart doesn't "weap for you"!!!

SAG

I'd put my Scout II up against the Bronco of Blazer of that period [1960 - 1990]. since "IH" fell off the grid [media hype] it lost favor. They were as "Rusty" as the favored Bronco, but a stouter "Frame" & V8. I'm a fan of both Bronco/Blazer [1968-1978]

SAG

1988 the 'US Gov' banned them. They disappeared. Have seen a Maserati '3500 Sebring' listed online. "a grey market car"

SAG

but back then I restored a lot of "Grey Market" cars. 'they weren't suppose to be here, but they were'.

SAG

Restored one

SAG

better do more research

SAG

I was there Too. '64 vaguely remember the 'Ford' exhibit. but still remember it. Returning to the USA (vacation), then heading back to Australia. Next stop Hawaii ['65] where we rented a "rag top Mustang" to cruse the sights.

SAG

Page Image shouldn't have used. IH / Navistar is a "Far Cry" from that Scout. Had a Navistar based Diesel in a Truck. What a _ _ No power

SAG

VW Scout Cant imaging the cost_ when "rabbit's decide" a EV wiring harness is a tasty treat. But they may come up with a lethal covering. VW purchasing "IH" no big surprise. Lamborghini has always built 'tractors for the Farm'

SAG

but anymore Hang a 'Badge' on it call it what you want

SAG

are you sure it a Jag?

SAG

Prefer the "GTB" setup. A heaver 'Nose' is better on 2 lane rural roads. At speed the front has less tendency to 'bounce & drift'. But I go 'Mid Engine' too.

SAG

My travels are for 'hard parts' for project vehicles. Travel prep [Truck & trailer] is extensive. _ But there will be something, that will "bite you in the a*s", after many trips that have been un-eventfull. A Blown [#5] "High Pressure" delivery Line on my Cummins Turbo at the Fuel distributer head. _ _ If you ever break down / with a Cummins / in Reno, Nv. Good luck getting any Diesel shops that will help. I get to home after 8 days of - Line rebuilding with Copper tubing - Solder joints. every 150 miles. [odd number but it was constant]. Floyds Truck parts had the part the next day, after I got home.

SAG

The British overtones were "Excellent"

SAG

& "Dr. Who"

SAG

The 'slot cars' were a collection of "Current Race Cars". All Marque's

SAG

Grew up in Australia in the '60s. [Sister was born there, we were 'USA' living there] We raced "slot cars" _1:24 scale (seems right, same size as a 'USA model car'). All assembly instructions were in 'Japanese'. [could have been Chinese, couldn't tell you the Diff?] Assembly took a lot of "interpretative study". "Speed Racer" was a 'Saturday morning' TV show. ["Thunderbirds" as well] We 'Grade Schoolers' were hooked in early. Good Times!! _let's not forget the 'scate board'

SAG

Carol Shelby ran that game

SAG

Find some old "VIN' un-used. Sell them that way. They'll pass "DOT" Ha.

SAG

Time for 'exotic car' builders to drop _off the grid & sell outside "Gov. mandates". No way in Hell is some "D-mA-s" politician going to tell me I can't drive my '67 Maserati, because it burns 'Petrol'. Kind of like the 'right to bear arms'. Those of You who want the 'EV' is Good. Don't deny us _ that don't

SAG

Patten Rights need to observed

SAG

since Calif. is determined to be "all Electric". If GM want's sales there, 'A bend over, w/o a Reach around' will be necessary.

SAG

PS: we all walked out of the Hospital 3hrs later

SAG

hopefully Porsche doesn't 'roll over' as they did in the "Indy Cars". A good friend owned the only Porsche Indy Car. [circa 1990s]

SAG

Like the 'Panasport Wheels' on the Corvar

SAG

vinyl wrap? You could have it 'Refinished' for Less. so why ???

SAG

you "newbe's" are funny

SAG

Go SCCA

SAG

looks like a 'sports Renault' re-do to me

SAG

Rita's Lincoln: ditch the 'rat rod' ditch the 'custom mods' and all that other nonsense. Original is best, if your lucky enough to see one you'll understand

SAG

Mr Foose likes to use others talent for his 'credit'.

SAG

why not call them a 'small bore' 460?

SAG

the "FE" was FOMOCO's best design. but I did like the "400M" in 1980 1ton PU

SAG

so you can figure which one I don't use for 'Beer Runs'. Unless I want to do some 'Drag Racing' & shame the local "hot rods" Ha

SAG

Ford better hold out with the V8 Truck motor, or they'll lose the "game". I have a "stroker '514' engine" in my '86 F250. When you need that much power, fuel consumption is the same. Cost per gallon is a close "boxing match" between Diesel & Gas. My Dodge 'Cummins' under Towing Load gets 9.5 mpg My Ford '514' gets a constant 8.6 mpg, trailer or not. But the power band is better.

SAG

Nice. All from 'when you saw them', you knew who made it - completely unique by design. You knew what they were. Today they all look the same. "throw a Grille & a Trunk Emblem" 'Oh look it's a ???

SAG

Indy you need a efficient Driver first. just like F1. Most gamers can make them look like fools, both sectors. with tec as it is, a efficient 'Go-Cart' pilot would be a match. What happened to those like: Graham Hill Areton Senna

SAG

I'm not "Rich". But I still like "Bumping Elbows" with the "Uber Class" displaying my Maserati at concourse events. Interesting people, and they have a comrade with you -just because

SAG

Me 48 yrs in the game -Pebble Beach -Indy Car's [competion & Restoration Finishes] -European 'street cars'. Etc., Etc

SAG

Depending on the 'Era' of car's you focus on. you can learn more, apprenticing for a "old timer", Than "ASE" courses ever dreamed of. Stay focused

a Bench seat would accommodate 4 passengers

But I did return.

SAG · ‎21-04-2022

After dealing with "hi end collectables" & a job with "Mercedes Benz / North America". I went to the "Marine" sector, to get away from that nonsense. Enjoyed it 'big time'.

But the major majority of Boat owners own Ferrari's & Rolls Royce's. so OK, I get it.

SAG · ‎21-04-2022

Cars at a Boat Event? you'd never see the opposite.

Convincing my Bride, will not be as easy as logistics.
