That’s what scares me about auction cars, how to vet them before deciding to bid. Some are “known” cars, others who knows what is up with them, if they have skeletons in the closet or are 100% legit. The V code Coronet vert I mentioned I’ve not seen before, you can’t get underneath these cars...

My engineering coworker at Navistar (International) had eyes on the 75 IHC 200 pickup running Wednesday. He hoped to get it for low to mid 20s. He ended up riding home in the right seat of my Ram instead of the drivers seat of the IHC, as it hammered for about twice his target! Trucks and...

There was a lot of talk about the purple AARs and the pink one on E bodies.org. One of the purple ones is allegedly restamped block to make it “matching numbers”. The chin spoilers being installed upside down was amusing! On the pink one the radiator support VIN stamp is questionable. A FJ6 ‘71...

The V code Coronet vert sold for $181,500. If my ‘71 V code Challenger was sold I might have been trying for it. I’ve been looking for a good 69 or 70 for quite some time, but really am aiming for a 4 barrel one.

I went down to Indy for the day earlier this week. Had a good time spectating. If planets aligned better I’d have had ideas on bidding on the V code Coronet R/T convertible. Mecum Auction Indianapolis May 2024

A lot of people will drive to a gas station on the other side of town to save a nickel a gallon, so when they buy something, price is paramount, and country of origin and a lot of times quality are way down their list of concerns, if on it at all. The subject of crappy repro fuel sender units is...

Whether bad or decent quality, why buy products made by a company from a country that is hostile to us unless you have no choice?

It came through IL this week with a stop in Franklin Park yesterday. It was really great to see! My friend Ryan who is a member here (the Auto Archeologist) tried to chase it traveling here but they crossed him up changing their routing a bit. Due to the length and weight apparently, they had...

I stopped by and checked this out yesterday when it stopped near Chicago this week. This tour is traveling all the way from Canada to Mexico. Don't miss it if it is traveling near you. Pretty cool to see! The Empress, 2816 steam locomotive, will make history again in April 2024.

My late father had a very valuable gun collection along with a lot of valuable accruements including manuals, books, cartridges and more. He kept an inventory of his collection with values. He specified an auction house he trusted and made it clear he felt a collector gun auction house closer...

Someone here posted this video a few months ago of kids making oil filters in primitive very unsafe conditions. They didn't look Chinese though, they looked like Pakistanis, Indians or Bangladesh perhaps. Scary, and possibly where some of our junky product is coming from in recent times...

Noel seemed to be a big B body fan. I wonder if he is a member here? Or anyone from IN know him?

Looks like a lot of interesting cars will end up at a government auction someday in the near future. I see a roadrunner, a Charger, a Coronet R/T and is that 2 superbirds towards the back? Audit finds former Indiana sheriff Jamey Noel made over $3 million in illegal purchases I am reminded of a...

It's interesting how a good or bad experience with a business can influence a person for the rest of their lives. Over 20 years ago, I was remodeling a bathroom at my house and bought a ceramic pedestal sink at Menards. A few days after I brought it home, I got around to opening the boxes and...

Magnum is building cars, it’s a well known shop. I’m not sure how the name change and division with the parts business that is still called Blue Star took place. Magnum moved to a new larger facility 10 or 12 years ago that is close to the tollway too. Blue Star Performance | Classic Mopar...

Blue Star sells parts. He used to be semi partnered up with Mark of Magnum but they are not working together now I don’t think.

Not near Chicago, but perhaps the most cost effective way to get the metalwork done on a car that requires a ton of replacement would be to ship the car to GA to the AMD Installation center. The Installation Center

I registered my car for Moparty the other day, and on top of raising the price for entering a car to $95, they now have an option you could purchase for $8 and change, for insurance in case you have to cancel your trip to the show! I know they have trip insurance for expensive vacations and...

It's a bittersweet holiday for me. I have wanted a hemi car since I was a teenager but haven't accomplished that dream yet! I have a cool model of one. I have nice models of hemi cars. I even have a cool hemi dog! But no real one.

I have trouble with my legs and put AMP research electric running boards on my 21 RAM 2500. The step is 14” above the ground when deployed.
