There was a Gremlin at MSRH in October .. the GremWow car. It, um, didn't fare well.

I keep on thinking about doing a slant 6 A-Body but just too cheap to build a new car when the Size Matters Fury just keeps on going.

On the problem with our 360 it wasn't the motors fault.  We flipped a brand new belt (last time I use a new belt instead of the 40 year old used one we had) and siezed the water pump and it overheated.  Blew the head gasket.

I raced a few Mopars in the late 70's early 80's and we always believed that the 360 was like glass....as a result 340's were expensive....how do you make them last?

Some cars in my travels, today.

I pass this Rabbit nearly everyday. Sometimes, several times.
It never moves.

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Cars That You Want To 'LeMonize' thread

I see cars daily that I want to buy for LeMonizing. I prefer to see posts of actual for sale cars in the Cars For Sale forum (I've bought two of those already) to pics of people's yard cars that are not for sale 'cuz they are gonna restore them someday, but that's just me.

Thats a Gran Turismo Hawk, you reach legendary cheater status in that, no way it's close to $500 and if it is call me because I'll be on my way to get it.

Of course the president of our studebaker club is trying to talk me into buying his ratty but complete Golden Hawk, factory supercharged FTW wink

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Cars That You Want To 'LeMonize' thread

My first car back in 1984. I would LeMonize it now!
It's a 1961 Plymouth Valiant.
I bought a second one, a '62,  that I wanted to enter in the 'Watsonville Enduro'.
