Pulled from a driver, needing recovered for a show quality car. Complete with headrests, black, not rusty or moldy. WIW opinions for the set?

I've been there twice, and the first time I had to keep asking myself if I was still in the real world. You look at a car, and it's a hemi four speed, and then you start looking closer and it's also got leather, sunroof, power windows, AM/FM, etc. Most all of the cars are at level 10 rarity. The...

Its an all makes museum. There are signs everywhere, and they are at the same level as the cars.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what product that was. I switched quite awhile ago.

Racing has seared gear ratios, rpm, and terminal velocity into my brain.

"VR1" I assume is Valvoline 1 Racing Oil? They took all the good stuff out of that oil years ago and it is not suitable for flat tap cam engines without additives. With additives, do you really know what you have? It's better to go with an oil that is fully prepped for flat tap engine break-in...

140 mph with 3.91 gears is achieved at about 8700 rpm without overdrive, so something was/is amiss. It's very common for 3.23 cars to get upgraded with 3.91's and the speedo gear is not changed. In this case, 6100 rpm would have a speedometer reading of 140, but actual speed is around 115. Or...

Things cycle. There are a lot of people to whom Chrysler Corp died when Exner retired..... or in the 70's. Go back far enough and I'm sure there were people moaning when the Dodge brothers heirs sold the company to an investment firm, and then again to Walter P. Chrysler. I would not be...

Curious what your plans are for license and title. In TX does it get named on the title as "1970 Charger", "custom car", "experimental", or what?

Dremel to the rescue. Slice it down the middle, side chisel it, and then it should come right out.

Good tutorial for diagnosing no start issues:

Because the RR is comparably deficient in so many other areas, it is one of the basic things that can be used to "catch up" to the M3's overall advantage.

As stated, M3 hands down. Throw in wheels, tires, more specifics on suspension, big brakes, lightened car, stiffened uni-body, on the RR and it is doable with a whole lotta work. Then the M3 throws on some auto cross tires and takes the title right back.

"You don't get something for nothing" by Rush resonated with me since I first heard it in 1976. It didn't get any air play, so unless you bought the 2112 album you probably never heard it (last song B-side). It simply sums up my philosophy of life: Get off your butt, make things happen, and...

Who knows... but the end of print media may actually turn old car mags into collectibles in time? I could see it.
