Welcome from Upstate NY! Nice R/T, don't forget the ADK Nationals in Lake George.
How can we find out about it?Welcome from Upstate NY! Nice R/T, don't forget the ADK Nationals in Lake George.
It's still only 10.00 at the gate, worth it for the coffee and donout
I keep planning to hit Carlisle for any of their events but have yet to make it.
What was "not as advertised" about it?
Us folks around here like to know what to expect from any volume dealers of classic cars, just in case we see one we can't live without.
for people in the Northeast this is a MUST ATTEND - it is like going to Mopar heaven! I have gone the past 6 years with my late model Charger and this year will go with the Durango...hopefully next year (?) I can take the Road Runner.
I spoke with him (Bryan Folz, the owner of Vintage Motorcars in Wisconsin) and asked if it had any rust anywhere on the vehicle. He said, "there are no signs of rust anywhere." When it arrived and was coming off the trailer, I immediately spotted, from 10 feet away, 2 large bubbles at the bottom of the passenger door. There is no way that was simply missed.
The other thing was he said it drove wonderfully. The steering is a mess. It grinds when you turn the wheel and had about 6" of play in the wheel.
Of course, in a perfect world, I would have gotten it inspected before buying, but I missed out on a few cars in the past few months because of the delays in getting a car inspected by an independent party. I'm a mechanic, not a body guy, so my goal was to get a car with zero rust, and that didn't happen, which irks me. I still love the car, though, so I'm making the best of it.
It was definitely a flip. I mean, that's what dealers do, right?
He bought it from an older man in Florida. I found the previous owner's name on an insurance card. Anyway, I wouldn't call it rough. It is a #3 driver. Could be better, could be worse. I can at least say it is better than a white non-R/T with a 440 a dealer in NJ wants $5k more for.
Oh that does suckUnfortunately, I consume neither coffee nor doughnuts. ;)
Right now, I'm wasting a tremendous amount of time trying to figure out the electrical gremlins such as the nonfunctioning front driver's turn signal and the fact that NO gauges are working.
