Ok, so.....the guy drove for two hours and then looked at the car for almost two hours.

 

 

They said they would immediately repaint it, get rid of the chips.

 

The wife said "I like this a lot better than that Mustang". The guy said " Yeah, I think I do to"

 

He said if I would want cash or cashier's check, if I was firm on price(yes, I have had many others tell me 28,000 is too low)

 

 

Took them both for rides that will have the car in the garage for a while because I probably ticked some locals off, think I possibly scared both of them a little. The car is so easy to run hard, at least for me, but I've been in the passenger seat and the car will scare you on that side on a hard run. Told the guy how to make some easy extra power, and he cut me off before I finished and said "I dont need any more power" :D.

 

And he had several people check the car out while we were going over the detail of it.

Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

I had a friend who had a Fox body mustang... it was a 9.9 car. All motor. Totally street legal, somehow. We used to take it out (I never drove it) and it was a really terrifying / awesome ride. I know what you mean.

Wait a minute.....you won that?!?

Or bought from the winner?

I imagine one took considerable luck and the other took considerable cash.

A guy with 20 cars who drove a real 67 GT350 to the cruise night was asking if I would take a 2007 SL550 as a trade. He got my number. Wonder if he will call, not a bad trade if its low miles, retail is a little more than mine. Could probably do a straight trade for the car I found and want.

 

Probably wasnt very serious, he already has 20 cars

Judging by his garage, he easily fits into either of those categories!

That guy uses the same AC shop I did for tye Firebird, so I might call them later and see if they can get me in contact with him(the AC shop guy was talking to both of us there, and the guy had seen my car when it was at that shop. Its not what I want, but its still a very nice car.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
