1988 Mercedes 560SL
AURktman replied to philip roitman's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
I fell in love with that body style from watching Hart to Hart on TV in the 80's. Yours is magnificent! -
Let's see your truck & trailer
AURktman replied to bluefishgary's topic in Garages, Trailers, and Towing
Not much of a heavy duty tow rig, but I sold my old big one and my daily driver to get this. It will tow 6500 pounds, so when I get my Model A I will be good to go. Technically, I can even haul my 57 Chevy with it, but not sure if I will stretch it that far. I don’t like to push the upper limit. -

Very nice! More pics please! -
1960 Pontiac Catalina bubble top
AURktman replied to JonW's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Love it! That is a beauty! What’s the history on it? With that low of mileage, it must have sat somewhere in a very comfortable place. -
1973 Corvette clean up
AURktman replied to Laughing Coyote's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Well, I’m officially 10 shades of green with envy! I love the C3 Corvettes, one day I will get one. You get a real gem there! -

Oooooooohhhhhhh……. There is no way I could pass up that deal. -
1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
AURktman replied to Ed Luddy's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
Fantastic ride! I love how those 70-76 GM full-size just float down the road. -
What are you working on right now?
AURktman replied to Jeff Perkins / Mn's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I put a new heater/AC fan motor in this one. I discovered that it takes a 4’ 10” female gymnast to effectively get into place to make the swap under the passenger side dash. I am a 6’ 1” 285 pound male. My neighbors were terrified of the words coming from my mouth and the things I called the car, the engineers, and what they could do with their design. I’m sore, have concrete rash, and there are footprints on the inside of my roof. -
1968 Ford F250 - The daily driver
AURktman replied to Lahti35's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Nothing quite like building up a massive Ford block. My only complete Ford engine build, it’s in my 1990 F-250. -
1960 Pontiac Bonneville (Maude)
AURktman replied to AURktman's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
I thought about doing those, but since I have the dealer/factory window sticker, I couldn’t get away with it in the HPOF. -
Rolls Royce Phantom I Riviera Town Car
AURktman replied to alsancle's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
How “obscure” of brand does it need to be for it to be asked back routinely? 1 of 5ish remaining? -
Rolls Royce Phantom I Riviera Town Car
AURktman replied to alsancle's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
Since I know virtually nothing about Pebble, I Googled it (I know, generally not good info) and happened upon this article (Yes, Wikipedia….ugh) “ Once a car is accepted to the Concours, it cannot again be entered in the event for ten years, with three exceptions; the ownership of the car has changed, the car has been restored, or if the featured marque is obscure, the Concours car selection committee can reach out to invite cars of varying restoration quality—or cars that have previously been entered in the Concours—in order to provide a healthy representation of the marque for exhibition.” Does this mean any new owner would get the chance to show it? Or is Wikipedia wrong yet again? -
1960 Plymouth Fury - 4 door sedan
AURktman replied to madfins's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
More photos! See if you can take it to an AACA HPOF event and get it judged. I’m taking my 60 Pontiac Bonneville next year hopefully as it’s very original. It’s only original once. -
Matt, just a word of caution on those glass/plastic fuel filters, they break easily as you found out. Mounted against the frame rail will cause vibration cracking quite quickly as some have discovered and could cause a fire. I would suggest the same one I put on my 57 Chevy. Cheap but robust and easily cleaned. You just need some AN6 to NPT fittings to adapt. Having seen you do all this work and a broken fuel filter destroy it would make me physically ill. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325102209093

My next car will be a Tudor after the 57 gets sold. I’m pretty settled in over at VintageFordFouum, they’re a great group.
