Why not a 89-93 12V cummins and an allison? Thanks...I might be in the market for a "new" phone, will look into one of these. (y)

I've been patiently waiting for the day that you got it fired up and running...sounds awesome! (y)

Not gonna lie...kind of wanted to punch him in the face a little bit. Sounds like some interesting prototype tech and could, if it makes it to production, create an interesting car and driving experience.

Congrats on the new pack member!

I'll say I'm not a fan of the styling of most EV vehicles, but I do like this render. But the EV characteristics and real world performance in the North would make most of them untenable for every day use....at least for 6-7 months out of the year.

I'd upgrade with a new-ish 225 and call it done, but 69's 273 suggestion is pretty good as well.....sweet little car that is in amazing shape considering!

If I could find a good grill, lower valance and rad support, or headlight buckets I'd be up to doing the swap as well. I think you said the 76-78 had the most clearance because it pushes out a bit? I'd need something like that to clear my big intercooler. I have Not sure if I'll be able to...

Damn it even with all the packaging it still got tweaked! 😖

Fan looks about right to me now...with a 1" spacer it was probably to far inside the shroud and you were just spinning air and not actualy pulling air through the radiator when idling.

My brother had an old Ford F250 with a 352 in it and he ran that thing with no exhaust pipes just the log manifolds...never bent or burnt a valve in the months of driving that thing. It did cook the paint off the firewall though!

Thanks that was a neat trip.(y) Loved the guy smoking in the full size Monaco and having the vent window open to suck the smoke out and them using that as the selling point on the vent window. 😄 The Plymouth Trail duster was a pretty cool one as well!

Thanks Jester! Every time I walk by the Coroent sitting under the car cover I have to run my hand along it to reassure myself that's it's here, I'm still stunned that it's back in my possession again! I haven't had a chance to do anything on it yet but it needs a new master cylinder and then a...

Well I have been working on getting the old 77 Vanguard camper and Ol' Patches sorted out and ready for the vacation my daughter and I had been planning for several years now...was put on hold due to covid and this August was to be our time. We were to have traveled through WA, OR, CA, NV for...

Was talking with the family and we came up with Buttercup, Butternut, Sunny...maybe GG for the Golden goose..;)

I like to name my vehicles...anyone have any ideas?

Not gonna lie...Teared up a little when I arrived in Newfoundland and then sat in the Coronet for the first time in 20 years. ;) But every time I go into the shop now and see it sitting there I drop into a stunned "deer in the headlight" mode for 10-15 seconds because I still can't believe...

My cynical side kept telling me something was going to happen and the deal would fall through, or I would loose the car some how...but it didn't and I couldn't be happier! I totally agree...stories like this are rare indeed and it was just pure chance that I saw that one pic of the car and...

I'm going to start another thread with the history of the car, where it came from and how the restoration went 25 years ago...I have a bunch of old photos I'll scan and share. And then the current state of the car and the work involved with getting it back up to show/cruiser status, and then...

I can't tell you how surreal it is to have the Coronet in my possession again, I knew academically that it was mine but actually physically having it home I have to keep checking that it is truly here! I kept have these weird flashbacks today as I work on it and clean it...I start to feel like...

Then spent a couple hours cleaning all the bugs off the front of the car...perils of open transport...and gave the car a quick bath. When coming off the transport truck the coronet had barely any brakes...just a spot at the very bottom where they would kind of grab. So I assumed the MC had...
