I think almost all high end cars in the 28-34 range had some form of "one shot" chassis lubrication. Bijur was the one you hear about most, but Mercedes had their own, Rolls Royce, etc.

Remember when one of these sold for 4.5 million at Barrett Jackson 15 years ago?

Raise your hand if you have ever heard of a "Roman Chassis Lubricator".

Is it just me or when you see just a Buffalo wire wheel you know the rest of the car is going to be something cool?

Eddy, those wheels have been on there longer than I’ve been alive.

I like it.

Today was 70 degrees, low humidity, partly cloudy. Went about 25 miles on NE back roads. All 30-40mph.

Ed is fixated on the 1.5 seconds he is in the video. But for everyone else, here is the entire thing:

Sounds like Camp Sunshine.

This is from Omnia under their "new" inventions section. It reminded me of the robotic dogs you see now.

My wife is awfully accommodating - so far. As someone who has watched my kids drag home non-car crap that I know I'm going to get stuck with, I'm understanding now. What is funny, is he got twice as pissed when I dragged home a fully rebuilt early 50s era horizontal air compressor and stuffed it in the shed. This was much better than his crappy vertical one but took up 3 times the room. I still have it, completely hooked up and I've never actually used it once.

As a kid, I always thought these were a step up from a MGB. But two things always stuck in my mind: 1. The rear end always sat on the gound like the springs were shot from day one. 2. They were all rotted to death in the North East as soon as they were 12 months old. This car looks really nice, but I'm on the fence about the color.

Nice! How many R2 Stick cars did they build? I'll see 3 or 4 Avanti's every year in that configuration, but it seems like 1 GT every 10 years like that.

I've been looking for a 69 Liberty blue stick car for years. Want a blue interior and white top like mine. Very hard to come by.

I paid 325 bucks for the convertible. It was 11 years old, rusted, and had been sitting for two years outside with no nose after a front end crash. The oil fill cover on the valve covers was missing from both sides and there was rocks in the valve train. My dad, a lawyer by trade, stick welded the entire car back together again for me. My buddy Byard Libby (who is still in business) did motor and the finish body work in his chicken coup out behind his mom's house in the dead of winter. I helped, it would take an hour for the pot belly stove to get the temp up. Sold it when I was in college to a local kid and never saw it again. You would NOT want this car. The 68 came out of Smith's junk yard in Clinton Mass. I had to borrow half the 400 bucks from my girlfriend. My dad lost his mind when I dumped it in his driveway. Sold it a year or so later to a buddy who drove it home with no plates. It sat in his yard for a year when he sold it to another buddy. Required a roll back to get it this time, while they were winching it on to the truck the frame snapped in half. Straight to the junk yard.
