  1. Visited this last week while in Tucson. Some interesting stories behind these cars. Especially liked the export cars as they had some interesting coach work and options.
  2. 68dodgeramman, I'll have to PM you the original PDF I made in 2014 as this system does not allow PDF attachments. Hope it helps.
  3. Like the tire ashtrays! I have a few myself.
  4. What is with all the sticks in the ground? Random pattern. By a large lake or wide river…so probably not trees…ideas?
  5. Images by themselves are not ‘seen’. There must be some ‘tag’ information on the photo or the photo properties. You can google how search engines find things…basically they are scanning every web page and gathering tons of info.
  6. Posting a photo of your car on any forum automatically makes it available for any of the internet search engines. Even if you post to AACA, your local club, facebook, etc. It all becomes available. I was in AUS looking for a photo of my ‘19o DB to show co-workers and lo-and-behold their in my car at a local car show. Someone took a photo and posted it…never knew it was out there.
  7. 'meats' is mine. Just say tire. It's even less letters and doesn't sound so stupid IMO.
  8. True and something to consider - especially if higher end vehicles but it sounds like the original poster's tax bracket is about as low as it will get. Plus, even with an estate someone has to spend time and effort to manage, negotiate with family, and potentially find a buyer - if you are not familiar with this market or any market you inherit like art, collectables, etc. the chances are it will be sold for pennies and the estate gets less than what the original poster may have cleared after taxes. Just speculating, as I am not in this situation as the original poster, but piece of mind knowing you took care of your family without undue burden is probably worth more than any monetary delta that may or may not happen.
  9. Still not so strange where I live. My parents, especially my father, would leave his keys in the car. In fact, one car he rigged it with a toggle switch so all he had to do was flip the switch and push the starter! He drove that car for about 35 years that way. More recently, my mother's Pilot was stolen from the driveway and my parents called me to let me know as I live nearby. I asked how they got it running and of course the reply was 'well, the keys were in the car'. Car was found out of gas, with all change from the change area missing and some taco bell bags. No damage what-so-ever. They just went for a joy-ride. When her car ran out of gas, they just walked down that street trying for other unlocked cars with keys. You guessed it, didn't have to go far. A person on that street reported their car stolen and the keys were left inside.
  10. Agree completely. My friends and family don’t understand when we go somewhere in a convertible and I say ‘Don’t lock your door and take what is valuable with you or we can put it in the trunk’.
  11. I really like the gear knob treatment. Nice detail to make it even more special.
  12. I must admit I always check out your posts because I know what ever car it is, it will be impeccable. GLWTS.
  13. You might want to also post in the Dodge Brothers Truck thread. There is a guy on there that use to manage/own a whole yard of trucks and panel deliveries…
  14. Scanning this topic to fast and mistook ‘black’ for ‘thick’ and couldn’t stop laughing….
  15. Actually got up close to one of these many years at gentleman’s ‘yard’. He went to most junkyard and large estate auctions and would always have cars coming and going. Anyway, it fooled me from afar and from the front but when you got closer you realized it was a little smaller and the interior treatment was not the same. Don’t know what happened to it but it wasn’t around long.
  16. Any chance those filters are reducing the gas flow? I know my Dodge using its vacuum tank has a very low PSI draw. Conversely adding a electric pump at too high pressure causes issues as well. Have you tried without filters? Or was this the configuration as you got the car and it ran fine before?
  17. Sounds like spark is good then. How old is the gas in the tank? BTW I know how frustrating this can be. Just went through a similar drama with my ‘19 Dodge. My woes are clearly documented in the Dodge forum…
  18. Beautiful photo! Can’t beat the old glass plate stuff.
  19. Saw the show during the Xmas holidays and now I am hooked! Nice to see what goes into fixing some items and the talent of the people doing it without a lot of drama. Unfortunately now I don’t throw out or donate anything because I know it can be made like new!
