  1. That car's old enough to smoke if it wants to.
  2. 1600 in trucking plus mass tax on blue book retail (7-800) squashes it or me. Looks to have solid bones and an interior kit with other potential bonus features Maybe rebuilt powertrain=good. Maybe=BAD States exhaust was replaced. Most of the trim thats missing or damaged I likely already have...Hmmmm
  3. You would have to drive the car off a cliff to get in the yellow zone of the vacuum gauge
  4. would need more pics, but with a full interior kit included it seems like a nice low optioned package deal if someones able to haul it away 1964 Buick Riviera | eBay
  5. I would ask the rebuilder what he requires assuming its got a warranty.. I use numerous name brands 10w30 and started adding 2/3 a bottle of zinc additive since SM isnt around anymore I know no reason a 430 requires anything different than a nailhead or any other BBB teve
  6. Those solid rubber tires are quite heavy. I prefer to fill the original tires with exactly 2/3rds a can of family size expandable foam. The air pressure malady is resolved, the tires hold the weight of the vehicle and the judges are none the wiser. Just make sure to not lose the correct valve stem caps in the process.
  7. Vintage Motorola IMTS Car Phone 1960s Transistorized Secode Mobile Telephone | eBay
  8. Kev you owe it to yourself to play with the drivers rear seat cushion skins for a couple hours and get those waves out...You can do it, because all the others are good. I know it's a pain in the ass to go a little backwards but once the vinyl and stitching takes that shape youre stuck with it for good. Steve As a side note, by trial and error Ive found the best way to tackle the job is new foam buns in the front and switch the old front buns to replace the rears...in other words only buy two sets of foam when doing all four seats
  9. Well, my first suggestion is if your wife won't bleed brakes then it's time to find a girlfriend LOL Are the shoes adjusted properly so both shoes are snugged up and set up against the drum? You might try turning the starwhel to stop and then back off to a just freely spinning wheel all four corners There;s not many clicks between "right" and "too loose"
  10. give them a rap with a rubber mallet then use the tool
  11. A project is at it's last steps to road ready, ...since the tires were 20 years old got 4 new ones even though by eye the 20 year old ones looked fine on the outside. Dismounted they looked fine on the inside, too. Was so tempted to just put the old ones back on again. New tire sidewalls are so thin now...I can feel my finger through the rubber regardless of brand michelin pirelli, continental all the same. Ya just don't know. I will say this, apparantly there's not only a chip shortage for cars there's a RUBBER SHORTAGE right around the corner. Steve
  12. As long as you don't tell me you found pocket change under the seat LOL Also, that car was a lady
  13. Probably modified in the 70's in an effort to navigate through the gas crisis
  14. If you buy this car today I will throw in the radio delete COVER for free
  15. Those combs look a lot more efficient than a set of popsicle sticks
  16. The stant radiator cap is always a nice finishing touch LOL PS Just got "Bonus points" for "reacting well'' from the web site by giving Jim a thumbs up for providing the picture. where do i click on the orwellian thumbs down? L
  17. If I was driving through a corn field like the guy in the top picture I guess the rear view don't matter so much? LOL
  18. Im guessing a low optioned car? it would not bother me a bit to not have an outside door mirror in a 1st gen. It probably takes more time angling my head to get a full view of the different angles of the rearward traffic through that little periscope than just turning my head around LOL the outside mirror is essentially a lump of chrome jewelry for the Buick
  19. never saw a 1st gen without either the tilt wheel or drivers side mirror options
  20. I wash once a year whether they need it or not LOL I use blue tape around the rear window, the C-Pillar trim etc. Then I use compressed air behind the same spots as we know where the water puddles PS my cars don't just sit in the garage all year, either.. I want to go thru tires and wear them out Caution: The bottom picture is for mature audiences only LOL
  21. I've learned to raise the hood after washing the car ( which I learned to do sparingly), that lift drains the water out of the "V" and behind the moulding
