Zack I bought my daughter a 2000 Buick Park Avenue off Craigs List for $1000.00 it's got air bags, new tires, air con, power every thing!....lol, the safe cheap transport cars are out there! Just look!
You would still have $3000.00 for 'Ol henry's engine, brakes & paint, tires, ect...ect...
Most importantantly! Is You will still be alive to enjoy them
Jim & fat Cares abought you Monty

 

haha thank you jim, glad to know you guys care about me

but yes i have been thinkin... i know for sure i want a bike eventually, but my truck could use some doin up. been pictureing that old fella with a new paint job for awhile. myabe i could even start on the new paint in NOV. but theres no way 3 grand is going to even put a dent in the motor, if anything id buy a whole new rebuilt 460 and slop it in there. but that would put ol henry in its death bed for awhile. id need to get a different car.... thats what it all comes down to. the thing about craigslist though is that they want the cash at hand... but through dealers you can make payments.

 

good luck with a loan now a days! my son has had a job for over a year and a half and can not even get a credit card with a 500 buck limit even though he has over a grand in the bank! well.... unless your willing to pay 30% intrest for your loan. then your paying WAY to much for something you want, think hard about it!

as far as the disc brakes, i have everything. even a brake booster for power brakes... you would need to buy a new master though.

 

went to a small car show at CDO HS.

cool home built rod!


who can tell me what kind of engine we have here!

 

rolls royce?

 

the sign said it was a merlin V12 hooked to an allison trans

 

^so Rolls Royce is correct! Sort of..... That one is a Packard built Rolls Royce Merlin, very rare and very cool, that appears to be a marine configuration, used in the landing craft, John boats pilot boats, ect...ect... Up into the late 50's! A twin sister to the Merlin that won the battle of Brittan in the legendary Spitfire! And Huricane!, it later went on to power the Nonth American P51/D which escorted B/17's & b/24's into The Rhour and Rhine valleys and eventually into Berlin itself in April of 1945, now that's a history rod!
I want a Wright Cyclone in my truck! It would kind of fit in the bed, but I would need a trailer for the fuel tank! 28cyls and a turbo supercharger may make 2400HP! But economy suffers...lol

I wonder if that old boy has brakes and suspension to be able to use all that Merlin muscle.

BTW, I'd love to have that Mustang!

 

there were a bunch of mustangs there!



not a stang but cool enough!


Ranchero anyone?

how about a Studi?

Oh.... you like mercury?




and more stangs....

 

Pretty nice show Bill!

I may be going through a phase, but lately I have been obsessed with early Mustangs!

 

By the way Bill! I'm crazy 'bought a Mercury!....lol what's that panel on the back of tat C.O.E. in the background of the blue 65 fastback? Looks really clean and unique did you get any shots of it?

Well bill, maybe you could run up the pricing for me? How much did you want for the setup? Will have to pick a weekend I have the saturday off

 

That will go a long way tword making you feel more comfortable driving him on a daily basis! Power discs up front are a nessecity IMHO
Jim & fat Monty

 

Good Sunday morning all of you Az chapter brothers! I hope the start of the new week brings a renewed sense of peace! And awakens a prosperous new cycle in your life!
Cheers! Monty

 

Were you goin with that there Jim? Haha

This next paycheck I'm gonna start preppin my truck for paint.

I'm stll stuck between a nice candy apple, an imperial blue metallic, or a pearl green with a yellowish tint to it. I think the pearl would be hard to layout though
