The breakfast griddle drippings is why burgers I'd order at old school diners when I was still driving a truck were so good. The places where I stopped used 80/20 ground angus chuck, and it was unbeatable. The finishing touch was a buttered roll crisped on the griddle. Shortly before I retired...

These worked for me.

I've used this one and it worked for me.

Similar for me, but I'd have go 1966 and earlier, thinking more along the lines of full size cars, rather than intermediates. Pontiac super duties, 2 plus 2, J-2 Oldsmobile, Buick Riviera Gran Sport.

Your can buy a wheelchair without a prescription, if you pay out of pocket. The ads I've seen are almost all fairly old videos for high end equipment, probably proven not cost effective marketing. When insurance gets involved, prices go through the roof. Read an article by a Harvard Medical...

In the early 60s, I heard the story of the creation of the AC Cobra from a guy who had actually raced with Shelby. He was a grad assistant working with my dad at Penn State. He and his wife came for brunch one weekend, and arrived in the 1957 AC Bristol from his racing days, now in street...

If you are trying to duplicate a '68 to early ''69 440 Plymouth (GTX), it's a red "super commando 440." Late '69 switched to the same with orange background. Red ones are cheaper.

I got bit last year with a high quality reproduction part with NOS box. I had a bunch of boxes from stuff I put on cars I no longer own, but I won't play that game. Another reason why I still like to do old school Carlisle swap meet rather than the internet.

My dad special ordered it on his new 1970 Valiant, it was double sided tape. Also had disc brakes, heavy duty suspension, and sure grip rear, those were my input. Our previous 1967 model had an aluminum molding that was anchored with plastic mounts inserted in factory drilled holes.

PA not only pulls the drums, the lining thickness is noted on the inspection form. For many years it was a twice a year deal for cars, and it wasn't until the year before I retired that it went to once a year for commercial trucks. I licensed Baby Blue as a "classic," requiring the annual...

You have cited valid reasons for your decision. This issue has been kicked around on previous threads, and the consensus seems to be that Mecum can be an appropriate venue for selling, but not so much for buying, the issue being the factors driving inflated prices. I consigned a car in 2020...

Same with Baby Blue. With completely rust free trunk floor and floor pans. Try to find that today. And in 1983, the current one, repaired with NOS sheet metal, was considered a "remade rust bucket," by my former brother in law who worked at the dealership when it was new.

We have a member here who restores them. @hemi71x. I bought one from him last year for my 69 GTX, and it works great.

I did the wire mesh with bondo back in the day to get a buddy's daily driver through PA state inspection after he flunked. I took more time, and used a fiberglass base when I did my Valiant.:)

Similar situation in central PA with the white tailed deer. When I used to drive that drum brake GTX to the Chrysler Nationals, with an early morning start, I'd detour through downtown, rather than expose myself to deer crossing the road by my development. I have power discs in the current car...

I booked my lodging early, and the rate had increased, so I only did two nights. Maybe I should cancel and re-book? Same place as last year. Will register this year with my buddy's Ram. Still smarting from last year's episode with law enforcement, even though I beat the ticket, GTX may stay...

I was used to really long stopping distances. The car stopped well compared to my daily driver. :lol:

If I had deeper pockets, that red '69 Hemi GTX would make a nice pair with the Demonstrator. Almost makes me wish I'd worked another year. But not quite.

One of the reasons they don't show up on sites like this one is that really nice, cherished examples, tend to be held by their owners until they end up in an estate sale, and the family chooses the easiest means of liquidating the asset. The only winner in that scenario is the auction company...

I bought a terrific numbers matching '68 Hemi GTX on this site four years ago. Sold it to another FBBO member a year later, when a car I liked better became available. In each purchase and sale, my fellow members and myself got tremendous satisfaction out of keeping our hard earned money out...
