I am new here and didnt see this thread until now. What all do you have left and where are you located?

What the.... What are the front fenders off of?

Moog makes great suspension parts. I have Moog springs in my Riviera and it's a very nice ride. I can set a bottle of water (closed of course), standing up on my passenger floor-board and cruise around without it falling over. To: Sosuzguy. How was your experience using tirerack.com? I was thinking about ordering a set of tires from them, but couldnt find anybody that could confirm using them before.

I recently found a 68 Firebird convertible for sale in Houston. When I went to look at it, someone had cut the roof off of a hard-top model and didnt both trying to cover it up. I passed on it.

Maybe it was a Shelby 302 and someone swapped in the 429? Maybe a California special that someone swapped a bunch of parts into?

How many miles on it?

I am near Houston. Where about is it located? Maybe I can go and get some pictures for everyone.

Where are you located?

Do you have a picture you can show for reference?

Their kit covers fuel injection. What about carbs? How would it work with carbs? Would you have to tune the carb to whichever fuel you're using at the time?

I wish I had my parents old Monza. eBay makes it pretty easy. I also use junkyarddog.com to find parts. They havent failed me yet.

Planning a trip?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone.

I found this one in Gay Hill, Tx earlier this year.

My Ranger has been between me and my gf since it was brand new in 1996. We have 240k miles on it, and it's only ever had tune ups done to it, with the exception of timing belt, tires, brakes and stuff like that. It still has the original clutch.

My father was deer hunting near Kurbyville, Tx. Said that he got lost in the woods and was confused about where he should be hunting, so he started walking in the direction he thought he should go. Turns out he was headed the wrong way, ended up on somebody elses land, and found an old barn that was collapsing. While walking passed the barn, he seen what looked like a car hiding inside. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that it was an old Buick. Knowing that I had been wanting a Riviera since I was 14 (I am 28 now), he found the owners of the barn. They said that the car had been sitting in the barn since about 1987. The registration sticker on the windshield confirmed that by its expiration date. The owners agreed to sell the car, and my father called me and told me about it. I drove up there, trailor in tow and had a look at it. We used the owners tractor to drag it out of the barn. Curious to see if it would even turn over, we pulled the battery out of the truck and stuck it in the Buick. Bumped the key, and it turned over. We disconnected the fuel line so not to get any of that old gas into the carb. Using a coke can, we poured gas down the carb while turning the car over. After a few seconds, she fired up. As long as we kept a steady stream of gas going into the carb, it would idle. The car only had 26k miles on it when we found it, and has a detailed list of service records confirming the mileage up until 1987. Moments later we had the car loaded up on the trailer and was on our way home with it. Since then, I rebuilt the transmission, all 4 drums brakes, and alternator. Got lucky and found a NOS 1966 carb on eBay. Gave it a full tune up and a fresh set of tires along with other miscelaneous things, and it was ready to roll. Since then, I have been slowly restoring it for the passed 4 years. The suspension is about 80% rebuilt, and the paint is peeling off in alot of places, exposing the brown primer underneath, but that soon will all be taken care of. And here is a parts car that me and a friend got off of eBay. This is another 425 that we are rebuilding for my friends Riviera.

Motorcycles are louder than 90% of the cars out there.

Wow. Thanks! It is printing as I type.

They forgot a couple. Honda Ridgeline Bugatti Veyron - Fast, but ugly.
