old classic cars

Recommended Posts

ok so a little something different today

 

What's your favorite older classic car?  Can only pick one so what is it?

 

mine is the 69 corvette stingray

I had access to a 67 convertible for quite some time.  Every now and then I'd call my buddy and tell him I was coming for the car.  I actually drove it more than he did, and was doing him a favor.  Old cars need to be driven every now and then.  I'd leave my car at his house and drive the vette home and then bring it back the next day.

 

Nothing like tearing down the parkway with Darkness in the CD player (he put a CD player in the glove box).

 

My kids were still in car/booster seats, but it had seat belts, so I'd buckle them in for a ride.

 

The look of fear turned into excitment as I'd blast through the gears pinning them in their seats was priceless.

 

"Daaaaaaadddddddd....stoooooooppppppp." "Do it again!"

1967 mustang gt390 fastback.

 

 

 that said, my first car was a 1967 mustang coupe 289 auto.

 

How funny...I was going to say 67-68 fastback

 

My first old car was 68 Mustang coupe with a 289 auto.     The frame was rotten and I welded one under it..then the steering box started to unscrew out the top...3 turns in either direction before the wheels moved.

 

The engine came out and went into a 1980 Fairmont coupe.  It was a fox body and needed a new oil pan and tranny mount to retro fit.  Once that was done and umpteen racing mods later I got it to 11.70s in the 1/4.

Bob, the 66's with fog lights, like the one pictured, had a grill that looks just like the standard grill on the 65's. Could still be a clone though. 

 

The 66 GT350H did not have a model variation that included the fog lights in the grille. Nor did the plain 65 or 66 GT350's. However, both the 65 & 66 regular production Mustang GT's used that light arrangement. The 65 & 66 Shelby Mustangs used a horizontal bar grill with the galloping horse emblem on the extreme L/S.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
