My dad always liked cars, not like I do, but he was a normal teenager of the '60s. My mom gave me her rusty '65 Mustang that Dad helped me get going, and I've been driving it since '94. My parents (and my wife) have always supported my hobby; Dad taught me basic mechanics and, more importantly, mechanical sense. Stop and think before doing anything. Listen. A guy couldn't ask for much more than that! I still keep trying to talk Dad into getting another '71 Mach 1 Mustang (he had one back then) so I could take care of it and, who knows, maybe drive it every once in a while. He hasn't

Beautiful Bel Air, and I'm glad you were able to honor your friend's memory by buying his car.

Of the cars you mentioned, the '71-'73 Mustang coupe would be inexpensive, fairly simple, and easy to find parts for. A Sportsroof, Mach 1, or convertible will cost significantly more upfront. A '67 T-Bird would be fairly inexpensive, but parts availability is worse and the car itself will be more complex, simply because they usually had more options to begin with. '67 Cougars are neat, but I've noticed that prices seem to be inching up on those.

fs 1951 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith
Aaron65 replied to jose l's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
I love 1950s Rolls-Royces; I'm not in the income bracket where ownership is a good decision, but I admire them from afar. -
I really like '59 Mercuries, especially their dashboards, but I've never noticed how oddly placed the clock is. Another thing, the seller claims that the engine is a 312, but that's not a Y-Block. It's probably an MEL 383, which is certainly not the 383 most people think about when they hear the number.

1948 Tucker Movie Replicar for sale on BaT
Aaron65 replied to George Cole's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
A hundred grand???? Wow. Is Bring a Trailer the new Barrett-Jackson? -
I think that's logical for a few cars out there; unfortunately, the word got out, and now half the people selling overpriced cars think that they just need to bump up the price another grand to snag that seller who's looking for "quality." Then you have another car that sits for sale on the Marketplace for two years.

Wanted 1953 Buick special front shock absorbers
Aaron65 replied to Ruff41's topic in Buick - Buy/Sell
I've talked to Ben both online and on the phone, and there is no way he meant any harm by what he said. Humor might not always translate through the written word, but Ben was certainly just joking around with you. In other words, what you're looking for is going to be hard to find - most likely, you'll have to have a used set rebuilt. -
SOLD 1980 Thunderbird 18,000 miles $7,000
Aaron65 replied to ford40's topic in Ford Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Wow...my dad had one EXACTLY like that one when I was a little kid; it's funny, but I even remember the grain of the vinyl top. I prefer my '63, but the '80 pictured here is in nice shape. -
I hope you don't mind my jumping in, Bob, but Remflex suggests that you install the gaskets dry. I've been running them on my 263 for a few years now (dry); you can see where the manifold moves, but the gaskets are still holding up.
