Man, that car sure brings back memories ! SS 396

Sweeping spending cuts to the Pentagon and other government agencies"? BS, they haven't even talked about any sweeping spending cuts to the Pentagon or any other government agency that I am aware of. Pentagon spending should be curtailed by at least half, getting rid of a bunch of overpaid consultants, useless generals and weapons programs that they don't even want. Pentagon spending will have to be decreased if anything is ever going to be done about the debts and deficits. Not that it is the only thing but something that should be cut and lots. My cousin had one of those and it was a hoss (375 horsepower iirc). I made a trip of about 18 miles on a very crooked road with it in 17 minutes if they were telling the truth (I wasn't looking at any watch, just driving). Wouldn't try to do it today but back then I was invincible (and dumb). Only reason I did it then was because my cousin had brought a couple of young girls up for a visit and one of their dad's said she had to be back home by dark. We got down to the county seat and the water pump went out on it so by the time we got one and got it in it was getting late. Bobby (my cousin) knew that I knew that road lots better than he did since I lived here and went down there regularly so he asked me to drive. And get back as soon as I could. I don't think those two girls opened their eyes on the way back, lol! One of my buddies had one and it'd lift the front wheels off the ground !!!

I would dearly love to have one today if I could afford the gas, upkeep and insurance on it. Or a Hemi Cuda. I ain't hard to please, ahaha.
Testosterone out the ass !!!

Your luck knows no bounds! You can buy one, this one is going to the auction block soon. One of a kind too. "...The only 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda convertible sprayed in “Plum Crazy” (and one of two originally built for export to Canada) will cross the block at Barrett-Jackson’s upcoming Scottsdale auction, as part of its exclusive “Salon Collection” of premium automobiles. The car in question comes with the 426-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 engine, dual four-barrel carburetors, the 727 automatic transmission, the Super Track Pak option and a power convertible top." auction date: January 19, 2013 http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1079713_rare-1971-plymouth-hemi-cuda-convertible-heads-to-auction Bet it brings $25K --- and it's a rebuilt total loss ! But it's nice ! Treason has conspired with Greed and colluded with Murderers to overthrow "OUR" country. "Bankers" - Kill em all and let Satan sort em out" !!!
Wow great song
The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he?'
I bet 25,000 won't even begin to touch what it will bring.
I know most of the cars go through that auction for real big money.

Nothing beats German iron. Horn works. Try the brakes. I get your point !

I heard of one guy that refused to sell one one time for two or three million dollars iirc. Cars that rare (one of a kind and no more being made) will bring top dollar. Not that I would give a million dollars for it even if I had lots more money than I needed but someone will have to have it and will bid high on it. I can't see it going for less than a million. More likely be 3 mil or better. 1971 Plymouth sells cheap for $2.5 million And that was in 2007. From the article I linked to: "When another '71 Hemi Cuda convertible was offered for sale at an auction in New York City in Sept. 2005, bidding went as high as $4.1 million, but the owner refused to sell the car even at that price." I was wrong about the price I remembered someone refusing, it was considerably more than I remembered. Man, I'm way out of the market !

I have a one of three 68 Ford Fairlane I'll be restoring this winter, hopefully. However, I doubt it will fetch 2 million at auction when done. lol

Well, a million and a half is nothing to sneeze at, right? I was watching Gas Monkey Garage last night and they found this old Rambler rust bucket. And they spent lots of money on new parts, engine, transmission, new rear end, front end, everything and left that ugly, rusted out body as is. They sold it and even made some money on it but they would have never sold that to me, not with that body. I have a one of three 68 Ford Fairlane I'll be restoring this winter, hopefully. However, I doubt it will fetch 2 million at auction when done. lol

I had a 1969 Fairlane, same body style, back in 1980 that had more rust than this 68 has now. Someone made a mess out of the body doing a bad job on what few issues it had, but it is still a far easier restore than the 69. In 1968 Ford made 1800 formal roof Fairlanes with bucket seat interiors, but only 3 in Highland Green with Parchment White bucket seat interiors. :) In 1977 I briefly owned a 1939 chevy. That was an antique back then. I was surprised to realize that a 1968 Fairlane is older now than the 39 Chevy was then. Damn, it's an antique! That must make me prehistopric!

Good luck with the restoration. And I would like to see a picture of it when you get it finished.

70-74 had a 69 hemi-RoadRunner tunnel ram 2 Holley 850s, Crower roller cam, TRW pistons, Hooker headers, Mallory dual point almost all work done by Chuck's Speed Center when they were still on 7th st. 1973 wife bought a stock 70 hemicuda dirt cheap at Bill Luke Chrysler-Plymouth. Of course gas back then was 23 to 45 cents a gallon. What I wouldn't give to have these two cars back today. Paid $1800 for the RR with just headers in 70 when it was only 8 months old and we got the cuda for $3200.

I bet you would like to have them back! I have driven just about everything from two wheels to eighteen but never had the pleasure of smoking the tires on one of those.

Here is the "car" I wish I had kept (one just like this one anyway, 65 model Electra Glide--first year of the electric start, last year of the panhead engine. They make beautiful choppers).

There are still some available but that particular one is a collector's item now and pretty expensive. People don't bat an eye now asking 20,000 and better for one like it. I bought mine used from one of my uncle's brother-in-law and got it for 1,000. Of course that was many years ago (back in the 70's).

Probably the memory is better than the reality. But, they were great rides back when, and I loved'em all.

I'll take it. In 75 we (wife and I - asked her to fetch the tools LOL) built a 27 t-bucket roadster - real metal body, not a kit. After about a year and half a friend and I drove it to bike shop where he was getting his bike worked on. The owner of the shop saw it and immediately offered to trade a really nice 56 panhead chopper for it. I told him no but he kept making offers over the next few weeks. We finally agreed that he would add $3,000 to the bike offer and we would trade. That was my first Harley. It was a hardtail/rigid frame and I am glad I don't own it now. My a$$ wouldn't be able to take it. We bought a 2000 wide glide and have spent a bit puting custom wheels, handlebars, paint etc on it. It was the bike that I had my accident on in 2002. The insurance didn't want to pay to fix it because it was almost $11,0000 but since we had it insured for $26,000 they didn't have much choice. Thought a few times about going out and buying a road king so our old bones could handle it a bit more but.... never got around to it. Wife likes the dyna too much anyway.

Remember the old saying... you could tell if somebody rode a Harley because wherever they went on it, it marked its territory?

Those rigid frame bikes aren't comfortable but they have style. Make the nicest looking choppers. Soft tails come close but nothing beats a rigid for a show bike.

That is very pretty but if I had my druthers (and the money) I would rather have my old Harley back and make a show bike out of it. I am pretty sure I know exactly what I would have done to it.
