Brooklyn Beer

Who was the carb manufacturer? This is a new one for me.

Early 70s refrigerator brown is what comes to mind. Just never thought of this as a popular Buick color during this time. There are just so many black, dark blue and dark maroon cars from this time that is what you just get used to seeing.

So with the rebuilt slant 6 it is safe to assume it is good for 600 million miles more as long as you change the oil 3 times. With as hard as it to find a cheap used car for work this could be a good option especially with all the work done

The drop from 70 at noon to 21 at 8 pm was shocking to say the least. We started with 16 but the wind had it feeling much lower. Needless to say I stayed inside and just thought about driving today.

Just saw the fire reports out of CO. Worst of a worst case event. Hope nobody has friends and family in the path of this.

Congratulations Ever thought you would make it there the first day you ever started that FIRST job ? I never have.

I don't think I have ever seen such rust on the roof INSIDE a car. Was he storing salt water fish tanks in the car ?

I don't know how you could ever blend one these colors in with another. Regardless what you chose you'll have the wheels to work out. I mean if you just did the white what could ever match the other ?

Geeze that put the thought of a bad burrito dinner in my head. Do like the color.

Were about to go from 81 to 25. Of course on the weekend. Gotta make the best out of the days you get!

More leg room....

Not sure how green paint from back in the day will age but the tin plate ceiling I have in my bar is a rustoleum green that even matches the thin spots seen here as I was going for the "aged" look in my saloon. No pin stripping ?

Amazing how some of these steering wheels survived almost perfect. Nice stance combined with the roof line gives a look of it getting ready to jump and go. Lowering the roof a little really changed things this year.

22k being towed by a tractor isn't a great selling point.

Warms gets a rough idle. Anyone care to start trouble shooting? What distributor and ignition were these using in 63? Very clean car

This won't last long.

Isn't there a safety as well between the generator circuit built into this? My 49 had been converted to 12 volt for AC and this was removed. After 3 times doing a mad dash around the car to pull the cable off the battery terminal because the switch stuck and kept cranking over I added the bump switch. The manual goes over for that year car. I have a brand new NOS vac switch I never installed sitting here.

Yep, water build up on the lower trunk edge is the bad spot and under the running boards / brackets. Good motors and trans. Parts are easy. Every worked good back then and can be made to as good now with just a little time on it.

And I thought the word "Bullitt" would bring trouble

Not many of those must have made it into cars. Not many must be left in cars originally with it either.

They actually put a 4 cylinder in these ? I thought they were long gone in mid sized cars by then

He is on here regularly. There is not much internally to rebuilding these carbs. On my brass bowl carter for a 31 Plymouth I had to get some drill rod sized drill bits to open up the idle tube but the limited number of parts inside amazed me.

Why did Ralph Nadar have it out for these cars ?

Better looking interior then my 65 Fury. Lots of fun here for little money

I am not even seeing 12.5 in this. What am I missing to be shooting for 27.5?
