My friend's old '68 Peterbilt had a 335 and the Freightliner Cab Over we had 40 years ago had a 350. Those are the Cummins sounds I hear when I think of big rigs. I have 8MM home movies of riding in the Peterbilt and I can still hear it! My brother on the other hand hears 425 Cats!

When Tesla came out with the tractor trailer I made the comment that I would need earphones with the music of a 350 Cummins in the background!

My '64 Dodge wagon had a shifter that long and the ashtray would eat my knuckles on a third gear shift!

Might be 300K.

Plus, I'm as close as I will ever get with the Max. He has a Manual Shift, Reverse Pattern TorqueFlite!

When I met my wife I couldn't drive a stick. I was 17. I'd been driving for 9 months. My parents had a '62 Lancer 2 door sedan, 170, 3 speed column shift. I tried to teach myself to no avail. My wife tried to teach me but didn't like the way I drove her car. The boyfriend of the girl up the...

Back in the day my wife would make fun of guys with muscle cars and "Ratamatics" as she called them!

My late wife owned 5 cars in her life, all sticks. The first one was a '68 Toyota Corona 3 speed column shifter bench seat car. She knew how to drive a stick before I knew how to drive! I still have it. She'd become a Subaru girl and the last 2, a '93 Legacy and an '01 Forester, she had to fight...

Yes, that is correct. I didn't like the way the system sounded so I took them off. The cops didn't like THAT! The sound with the pipes was what I call "Blat". I had thrush mufflers. I had the same car as yours only a 6 passenger. Fury, same color, same interior, 318, TF, power steering and...

I believe my friend's car was a bench seat. And 50 years ago I did parts department swaps with the same '66 383 into a '64 Dodge 440 wagon that was a 318, 4 barrel, A833. I know, they didn't build that one either. It was correct down to the tailpipes except for the bell housing. Then I attached...

@matthon Like I said we've already had this discussion on FABO. I would like to think that my friend had a rare and desirable one off. I found the production numbers on FABO. They built 252 383 S Notchbacks and 154 4 speeds. May be the original owner wanted an S delete? Maybe the second owner...

Laurence Fishburne is one of the boat crew, credited as Larry Fishburne!

In 1971 or '72 a guy I worked with in Trenton, NJ bought a '68 Barracuda Notchback, 383, 4 speed. It was all rusted out and I think most of the interior was gone. I called it a Lightweight! He asked me if I wanted to drive it, Did I want to drive it?! We took it out on the highway in Trenton...

@j-c-c-62 When I was under the dash dealing with trying to figure out key numbers I noticed there was actual cancer where the steering column attached to the firewall. That kind of soured me on doing anything with the car. I am pretty good doing things around cars with cancer but that was above...

WE're done for another season!!!!! Hi Chee! There's lots of wood, more bits of iron, no gold, no silver and film of guys running around like it's Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or The Vikings or The Long Ships, my favorite BTW! And then we're out on Lot Five metal detecting IN THE SNOW?! Even...

Like the 300 club says: Death before Prius! Max's born on date is 4/19 couldn't have been a week later!

I apologize for being late to the party. There was a C-V8 on Bring-A-Trailer in March As a Mopar guy I always wanted an Interceptor. More than 20 years ago my boss and I knew one of the tow companies towing cars for a charity. One day we walked past his yard and there was an Interceptor! Rough...

About 20 years ago my wife and I were on the Skyline Drive in Virginia. We stopped at one of the nature walks. Part way up the path there's a deer standing in the path. It didn't move. As a joke, and my wife never let me forget, I said "Shoo, Shoo"! It didn't move. I took a flash picture. It...

In 1972 Dad wrecked the '68 Custom Suburban, Mom then went and bought a '62 Lancer GT. They put 130,000 miles on that with a Slant Six rebuild. By 1986 the Lancer was a little long in the tooth. Even with me being "in the business" of old cars Dad had a hard time keeping it going so they traded...

Forty years ago the guys I was working for did the car show flea markets full time, straight trucks, tractor trailers and ..... Box trucks. One time we got a box truck from Jartran. I pulled it onto the onramp for the interstate. BAWAAAAHHHHH!!!! up the ramp. What the? When got back to the...
