Where's @Jester when we need him the most? @Stretch and I undertook the recovery my latest project this morning, a 1970 Swinger 340/4-speed painted that rarest of hues, Panther Pink (code M3). It went far better than expected, with the majority of the several hours spent being just talkin'...

So, a couple of weeks back I bought an A-body Rallye cluster on eBay. It had the 150 speedo and a factory tach, the latter of which is far harder to find than one might believe. I think the seller forgot about me, because it didn't ship for several days until I asked about it. No harm, no...

@69.5CUDA this might be up your alley. I need the speaker grille area from a '67-'76 A-body dash structure for some custom work on my '68 dash. I'd like the entire area between the defroster vents, with an inch or so margin at the front and rear. I'd also like the speaker mounting bracket. I...

Well, I've decided the time has come. Unfortunately, that means a Challenger is going to suffer The Fate. After some careful evaluation of what's there, serious consideration, and conversations with a few friends, I've decided that Flying Jerry's old '74 Challenger has reached the end. While...

What is it? It's a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) about the size of a USB memory stick. What does it do? It replaces the DAC in your PC, Mac, iPhoon or Android (5+) phone/device. Why do you need it? If you enjoy digital music, you'll be shocked to hear what you've been missing. As some of...

I'm not sure what other result could be expected when the world's leading manufacturer of electrical nightmares for the past 30+ years decided to start making all-electric vehicles. With less than 2,000 miles on it, Edmunds.com's 2024 Blazer EV is in the shop with 23 electrical...

I swear, they're all out to get me. My project car is '74 (formerly L8 Dark Moonstone 318/auto) My parts car is a '74 (E5 red 318/auto) The doors and front clip on my '71 are from a '74 (also E5 red but a 360HP car, VIN sticker still on the door, trans unknown) And last night, the sad remains...

Technology has gone entirely too far. Of course, it's not anything your "smart" home and "smart" phone aren't already doing, but now new cars are surveillance devices too. Not only that, but they track and store informaiton about your sexual proclivities and activites, and even genetic...

As discussed elsewhere, I recently purchased a 1971 Challenger. It was owned for about 30 years by a friend who passed away last year. If he ever had a plan for it, nobody knows what that might've been. To get the factory facts out of the way, we'll decode the data tag: E44: 318-2 Barrel D13...

A whole lotta long-roof love. 1970 Plymouth Suburban, rust-free GA car with 435HP MP crate Magnum At first glance I was drooling, but the optimistic price dulled that quickly. It's definitely in exceptional condition, but are fullsize wagons in their least-expensive stripper trim really...

This thing just flat-out ain't done. Apparently twenty grand doesn't get you much these days. Every stripe forward of the doors is installed wrong. The fender stripes look like wieners losing interest the way they sag away from the body lines. Whatever the thought process behind the hood...

I know things are getting out of hand, but this is ridiculous. That's not a "Buy it Now" price, it's an opening bid. I mean, I recently paid about one-third that amount and I feel like I paid way too much. Word to the wise: The red ones are also out of production, so what's out there is what's...

Need a rock-solid daily for less than seven grand? Look no further... just enough warts (and doors) to not feel bad about running it. That steering wheel's gotta go, though. 1964 Plymouth Fury Quad Cab

This car needs a legal DNR (Do Not Restore) order put on file. 8,989.6 miles... every single one of 'em the hard way. Yeah, the buy-in is steep but I wouldn't change a thing. I could even tolerate the automatic in this instance. The faded decals and lettering just make it that much cooler...

...this is what happens. This may be the funniest ad description I've ever read. Too bad it's unintentionally so. 1973 Plymouth Scamp By going through the photos, here's what I've learned you should expect after spending one-eighth of a million dollars on a $15,000 six-cylinder car: A...

I don't care how cheap it is at the municipal auction, don't buy a 2021 Durango Pursuit ex-squad car. A brake job will probably put you in the poorhouse. While the pads & rotors are (very) slowly appearing in the aftermarket, the $244 (each) front and $222 (each) rear calipers remain...

When an unstoppably bad idea meets an immovable lack of execution, something's gotta give. In this case, it was my brain. What the hell is this thing? It's one of those "crawl around awhile and find all the problems" listings. Mental-telepathy shifting, flow-through backlight ventilation, hole...

By no means is it ready to roll, but it's an E-body and it's almost all there. Fairly solid, too, for what it is. Based on the metallic orange and obvious flare remnants, I'd guess it did some freak time in the '70s. I can't believe the cluster is still in it, and seemingly nice. It's...

What's not to love? 32.4' length, solid mahogany construction, twin 370HP big blocks, and a shape like this: Well, there's the location. It's in Italy. Plus, it's nine years old, so fairly used as boats go. The real problem? The price is terrifying. I was not successful in finding a...

No alarm clock needed this AM. The pounding on my front door and male-voiced screams of "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" pretty-much did the trick. The voice seemed oddly familiar, and when I cleared the grogginess I realized it was Boozefighter Jr. He'd left my porch at that point and was just...
