I had the replace the battery in my Charger. I found an AGM at Rock Auto and with shipping and tax was $20 cheaper than anything local. Arrived in 2 days.

I'm making plans to go as a spectator. Looking for a caravan out of SC or possibly a co-pilot along the way to share expenses. If anyone is interested in splitting expenses on a hotel suite etc. send me a message. My SO isn't into cars and I don't have kids so I would normally just go solo...

I guess you can say that house prices are up or that the same dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to. In 2020 I bought a lot in SC for $22k. I spent $315K building a 2700 sq ft house with a 4 car garage. Since I was the (owner) builder I never went through a traditional appraisal process...

Do these rechome places also knock out dents or do any straightening, or are they strictly plating?

Some of the pictures in the video are a little out of sync for the timeline. The early IBM drives used hydraulic means to move the heads across the platter. The linear motor design (like a speaker's voice coil) was suggested by of the IBM Engineers, but was rejected. The Engineer left to form...

Thanks for the wishes. I got to spend a little time on the newly acquired Coronet. Took some steel wool to the front bumper. I like having a clean project car. Starting to put my plan together.

Now that the car transaction is complete I will start the process. Turns out there is a CR about 5 miles from my house and they have a Senior checking plan.

After the bank ordeal I was able to complete the deal. Will get more pics once I get it home and out of the rain. Car is optioned well, but only a 318. Car is triple white with black carpet, buckets with console. AC car with AM/FM. Car had been hit with hood, pass fender and grill replaced...

Saw him in the 80's with Hiram Bullock up in Berkley CA. Great show, great artist. RIP

OP here. I don't plan on doing any future car purchases. I've been looking for a car like this for decades - it was my first car that my Dad bought new and sold to me after I worked a summer to pay for it. I was 10 years old when he bought it new and I was 15 when I bought it from him. I was...

I just left a honey hole of Mopars and parts and the guy had 2 '61 Chryslers, one 2 door, one 4 door. Both stored indoors under cover. Doubt they can be bought cheap but I got a fair deal on my purchase (more on that in a later post). The guy is selling everything.

I suspected it had to do with regulations, but it is our Government that has funded Iran and Hamas, not me. I would expect the bank to explain the process and give me consistant explanations about the delays.

I'm absolutely going to close my account. This is strike two for them, so I am out of there. Not going to make any waves until I have my cash and am out the door. I will start shopping banks and CR as soon as I get this transaction done. The guy/seller has been understanding and I will post...

For the last two weeks I have been trying to get $20K in cash of my own money out of my checking to pay for a car. After waiting several days for the Electronic transfer from my investment account to clear I went to the bank to make a cash withdraw. I was told I had to make an appointment...

My original intent of this thread was to learn any car buying tips. I'd thought I'd pass this video along. Internet car buying tips.

I define a barn find as any car that has been stored under a roof for 10 - 15 years or so. I'm interested in any horror stories about “barn finds” that turned into money pits. Were there tell tale signs of the seller or conditions of the inspection that were red flags, that if you had to do it...

I absolutely plan on putting eyes on the car before I part with any money. I would assume that most problems start in the wheel wells. Here is the rear drivers side. The mileage on the odometer is really low. I thought it might be 100k+ miles but I think the shocks might be factory.

Here are some pictures of the underneath. This is a convertible so I'm concerned about the torque box and inner rocker panel in the 2nd picture. I'm contemplating an offer for the car and would like to get an opinion (best/worse case) on the cost of metal repair. Area of concern: You can...

I'm looking at pictures of a car from MA. The car is a '68 and has been sitting in (inside) storage since the 80's. Looking underneath the car looks to have several coats of undercoating. I remember companies like Zbart doing that sort of thing. In some areas the coating looks thin yet the...

I only know one guy with an adequate trailer. The thing is buried in scrap and I wouldn't trust the tires or brakes. The Uhaul/Penski option requires that you also rent a truck. It would require 4 - 5 days truck rental plus the trailer, unless I could do a one way on the trailer. I might...
