2010

Oh but let something go wrong and OOOOEEEEEE you have to take the whole side of the facia off and the wheel well liner to change a headlight bulb.

Take the entire left side of the engine assembly, most of the engine wiring harness and the throttle body to change a water pump.

Nearly pull the entire front of the frame out to change the motor supports.

I don't like them too much HEHEHEHEHE!

Cadillac - A brand I'm happy I've never owned. To be fair, except for a Mark-4, never wanted a Lincoln either.

 

[12icemaker]

Yeah had the Lincoln "AIR RIDE" blues myself, MK7. I pulled it apart and put an actual AIR RIDE brand system on it, it worked fine after that, but it ran the compressor a lot more.

The 2010 needs a front center motor support and "dog bone" on top of the engine right now. and If you know how to cheat you can do it in a long day and not tear something else up if you put too much pressure on the passenger side and the transmission (drivers side) you will have a real nightmare to deal with and may as well drop the whole cradle about 3g worth.

If I fix this thing that is my last time to change even a light bulb in the courtesy lights.

I would rather drive my old 85 C20 Silverado.

Is the yellow car a Hudson

A few pictures of our Hellcat, just a tad over 800 horsepower. It’s a very fun car.

We know who that really belongs to!!

What about a few tractors? I drove jd 4020's for years but only diesel. Never one rigged for LP. Seems the tank would have created field of view issues.

That's the (720), little brother to the 820.
I got to work on an 820 in trade school and drive it. It was a beast!
The front end thumping up & down was noticeable ...

Looks like a 49 Mercury from the rear window shape and the cut line of the fender, never know in a custom, the tail light is not like either of the usual model you see. A lot of people frenched in small bullet lights and blue dots.

We only a few regular posters for a long time. A lot of threads went by the way side, some topics were consolidated in all but name.

In this one folks post cars, trucks, motor cycles, airplanes, tractors, all sorts of vehicles. Why not look through some of the old posts. If it has a motor it showed up here.

 

[Snowman]

Summon the moderator to move our stinky tractor posts over to the Tractors thread.

Was looking at some old pictures, military stuff and came across these. I was going missile school in california. A guy in my class had a Judge (a good friend). I can’t remember the year model. Bugging me! Seems it was a ‘70 but….

The car wasn’t stock, had a different engine. Had a 455 that’d been bored to 500+. Cam wasn’t street legal, just over I think. It had special heads, headers, huge 4barrel, manual 4 speed but a special rear end. Basically anything you could do to a street rod in 1980. His parents were rich.

It was fun to drive! One weekend he needed my old pickup and we swapped. I had a blast! In the parking lot it’d pop a wheelie without trying. Just catch 2nd and goose it just a little. I burned half a tank of gas and never left town!! City streets were fun!!!

Anyway, the 455 wasn’t available in 69 or 70 (first half of the year). It was available in ‘71, but I know the engine wasn’t oem.

Anyone have a judge? I found this link that shows a 69, 70 and 71 model on the same page. Any guesses?

Including Firebirds and Camaros.​

For 40 years, Todd, a Wisconsin-based classic car collector, has been quietly curating a unique and expansive collection of General Motors vehicles. Now, Todd is set to sell more than 80 cars from this collection to make space for a new barn, creating a unique opportunity for classic car aficionados and restoration experts alike.

"The collection features a variety of models from General Motors and other manufacturers. Notable cars include a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, a 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS, a 1976 Buick Century pace car, and a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am. While GM classics predominantly fill the garage, the inclusion of lesser-known but equally significant vehicles like the Buick and Pontiac models adds depth to the already impressive collection."

Classic Milk Truck Delivers Over 114 Miles Per Hour At The Drag Strip​

https://www.motorious.com/articles/news/milk-truck-delivers-over-114-miles-per-hour/

"Nowadays, under the hood, you will find a 496 cubic inch big-block V8 engine, which has apparently been about six years in the making. Along with being absolutely massive, this engine also supports two turbochargers, making producing power significantly more attainable. All in all, this truck is sending around 815 horsepower to the rear wheels, which seems like a ridiculous figure but is quickly proven on the race track. The truck is described by the owners as a drag racer and a street rod, which means it spends a lot of time at the drag strip while still being daily drivable."

@Snowman There was a man out east of Corinth Mississippi on a little back road called Barnstable Road that would buy old four door 50 to 100 dollar four door cars and when anyone with a Camaro or Firebird who worked and and blew up a motor or lost a trans would be out of a car and need one for transportation to work he would trade them in good shape for the Camaro or Firebird or just buy it outright for about half what it would bring running.

That place became Known as Camaro Heaven in the 70s and 80s, until the guy died in the early 90s I don't Think he sold a one And he had some really rare ones there No telling what a 396 - 375 L89 aluminum head SS/RS would bring restored these days.

He had every type I know of there except the COPOS and 427 L88s

I know he had at least two Z28/RS package cars.

He had a couple of Really rare BIrds too 1968 & 69 Firebird 400s I loved those cars!!!!

This collection is one of the largest and most diverse selection of vintage vehicles to ever hit the internet.​

"We all know the classic story of what happens to our favorite vintage cars when the owners abandon them or grow too old to keep them all in good condition. From the ashes of abandonment rises a new opportunity to show the incredible history within the confines of automotive history. Of course, we're talking about barn finds, and this particular one may be the coolest we've seen yet. This vast collection boasts many classic cars, which may even add up to around +100 vehicles."...

"First up on the list is an early '60s Impala that seems to have been resting in the field for most of its life. Everything from the classic Chevy style grille to the iconic Impala three bulb tail lights is covered in decades of dirt and rust. This car sits front and center near the main road, which alludes to the insane gathering of vintage vehicles behind it. Without a doubt, this car is an excellent indicator for the quality of vehicles to follow, but the styles range wildly."...

"This is exceptionally present when examining some of the other cars, such as the various Galaxie 500s, Ford Fairlanes, and other Ford vehicles, ranging from the 1930s to the early 1960s. Again, diversity is critical with this collection, as you can find virtually any vehicle you like in a matter of minutes of looking. Another testament to the variety of the cars is the sheer number of trucks that accompany the surrounding field. ... The owner has a pretty excellent taste in vehicles from the golden age of American vehicles with a vast collection of trucks, muscle cars, and even some delivery trucks. One such vehicle that represents this is the delivery wagon that appears to have carried milk, ice cream, mail, or any other item you would use a box truck like this. Currently, the owner is thinking about selling some of the cars to get them to good homes to preserve these incredible pieces of automotive history."

Only Thing Wrong here is they didn't list the location...
