The NADA guide listed them around $7,000. Mine isn't worth that much, but the wife doesn't know that. ;) If it sells, I make some money. If not,...
The wife asked that I at least attepmt to sell it. I listed it on craigslist for $7,000. If it doesn't sell in the 42 days, I will roll it into...
So it will cost $3,000 a year in taxes and fees alone if I take it to Japan. Plus it will sit in San Diego for who knows how long until it wakes...
I need to have mine driveable by May, otherwise it will go into storage for who knows how long. It has to make a trip from Tucson to San Diego,...

I would love to take a drive down Route 66. Drove on it a little bit in 1991 when moving across country in a moving truck towing my dad's 69...
Contact Points and Distributer wires. I have next week off so hopefully I'll get this this running.
Oh, well. Jalopy isn't really offensive since, whether or not it is now, most of us started out with an "old, decrepit, unreliable and often...

Around here the sun can be pretty brutal at the right time of day, so a visor can be somewhat functional. On a cruiser, lowrider or show pony...
Who ever said they don't build em like that anymore, did not have you in mind. That is very impressive work.
