The '60s were pretty wide open--you could get all kind of oddball combinations--some pretty cool, some just oddball. Growing up in a G.M. manufacturing town, I got to see a lot of them. Like the 7 or 8 Nova SS 4-drs, a Buick Wildcat station wagon and a friend of mines Mothers car, a '65 Impala...

28RPU, it's a symptom of the dumbing down of society and indifference to doing things the right way and the attitude of " Mediocrity is the new Good! " Money is King anymore and Laziness is the Clown Prince.

Yes, we are a dying breed, but I suspect there are more of us than we think. Not just old iron nuts, but people who don't want to see an arguably better past replaced by, at best, a dismal future. Because of mandates and technical progress, we breath better air and drive safer cars, but they're...

Doesn't seem to make much sense that it was ordered with a 3-spd if it was for racing, especially if the 4-spd was standard with the 406 3 duece option. Is there linkage still on the steering column? I'm not a Galaxie expert by any means ( actually not an expert on anything! ) but it sounds to...

Yeah, I hope to see ya' there. I'm not sure yet which meet I'll be going to or whether I'm drivin' or ridin' with someone else. But I'll keep an eye peeled for ya'.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. This thing is injected and I've heard it's not a good idea to squirt water into 'em, but I have thought about squirting the Seafoam directly into it. It says on the can you can do that so that might be my next step after the plug-wire light-show! I thought...

Nice find, looks to be in pretty nice shape, that even looks like the original windshield washer bag. Might be a good candidate for a stock resto. My Dad had a couple of those back in the '60s. Good reliable trucks. Good luck with it and welcome! W.E.

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this, and my apologies if it's not. If it was built after the mid '80s and doesn't have a carburator I'm pretty much lost in the dark. Here's the problem /question--I have a '96 Ranger PU, 3 litre V-6, 5-speed manual with 230,000 absolutely...

All you guys and gals with '33s and '34s are very lucky people in my estimation. A '34 3-window has been my dream for at least twenty years but I had to switch to motorcycles ten years ago because I could no longer afford to play with cars. But I dearly love and enjoy my bikes, so it's not like...

Where can I find more of these old military videos? That is a great historical resource there. W. E.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. W. E.

Indeed a great picture. But my sight's not good enough, or the pic is just too grainy, for me to determine which cars are which, plus I'm not an early Chevy guy. BTW, what's the car in the driveway next to the station? Looks like a Chevy or at least a G.M. car to me. W.E.

Hey willowbilly, you might wanna' think about the ' Rally ' package offered for the 260 in '64, it ended up puttin' out 260 horses. Kinda' the 260 version of the Hi-Po 289 that put out 271 HP. W.E.

The 221 was not a poor engine, but a poor performer because it was intended as an economy motor. After all it is a Windsor. A friend in high school had the 221 in a Fairlane and, tho' not fast, it ran fine. A friend had a 260 Fairlane and my brother had a 260 Falcon and they were both quick for...

Thanks all for the great info. I surely appreciate it! W.E.
