A later upgrade.
And another of his early ones.

Here is my grandfather Samuel F West to the far right in the rear. The car is a 1902 Crest Runabout . The car is in my collection yet today. This picture was taken in 1940 in Livonia Center , NY. He paid $50.00 for the car in Lakeville NY to a man named Bob DeGarmo. The second picture is of my dad Anthony West when he was 14 at the start of a Memorial Day Parade in Livonia NY in 1946.
That's wonderful.
1940 that car was 38 years old.
Today, a 1979 car is thirty-eight years old...
If I had a 1979 car, I wouldn't think of it as an old car....

with a Ford engine, that's at least THREE different trucks.
Whether it was 50 or 500 , two of those three trucks are NOT one of the 50 or 500.
$400 is about right . If it is drivable.

I'll have to remember that term when I decide to sell one of my "former mint-condition" cars!
Cheers,

You could say it was a former new car ....

You probably mean a "Hearse". Hurst is a company that makes shifters. http://www.hurst-shifters.com/
Hurst also invented and makes the "Jaws of Life".
Without Hurst, more people would get an earlier ride in a Hearse.

Happened to my 1974 Plymouth Duster. I was going along, minding my own business when a guy ran into my quarter panel from a freeway offramp. The car was jolted so hard that the timing chain jumped.
That happened to my Dad and his 1969 Grand Prix. the other guy was goiing the wrong way on a one way street. He T-boned dad's pontiac in an intersection

There's another thread that is looking for a way to attract younger people to the AACA.
Rules such as the tire rule cited above are enough to turn away all ages from the AACA.
I can get rules abiding tires for my car, because enough people lined up to buy those tires.
The same thing can happen for the Gerald Ford era cars. If, enough people sign up.

I could go on and on about 70's cars I owned and what I found wrong but I was really amazed with the shoddy workmanship of my 1980 Volare that I bought in 2007 with 8500 miles on it. Primer not overcoated, glue spread allover the doors, weather seal leaking on the front and back windows. I spend ages fixing stuff just to keep it from rusting away. I was so amazed when I bought my first new car since 1983 in 2012. A Kia, it was the only new car I ever bought where nothing was needed to be fixed under warrenty. Amazing what we put up with back then that now would set people to running in the streets with signs.

I got the sense he was just playing and the typo went along well with the notion of imperfect car production. Internet sarcasm can be hard to read sometimes.
I was going to tell him he misspelled 'surely'.
But, I'm sure to get surly reply.....

Volvos had manual chokes until 1970 in the U.S. I was at a Volvo show over the weekend, and was discussing what a nice anti-theft device it is in 2017 (for a cold engine, anyway.) Ford Couriers (aka Mazda B2000s) had manual chokes through at least 1978, but they were the semi-automatic type (knob/pull went in automatically as the engine warmed up.)
My brother has a 1967 Datsun Fairlady.
The choke is semi-auto , as you describe

You should thank 46Woodie for his 25 years firefighting service.
My experience with the Fire Department was visting my Grandfather at the fire house and listening to Grandfather's and other firefighters' stories. And they explained to me the different apparati ,
My Grandfather retired from Birmingham Fire Dept 1982 after 48 years service.
When I was very young, we had our easter egg hunts at the fire house.
The firemen delighted themselves hiding the eggs in each other's boots.
