This Mustang is No. 1 with a ‘Bullitt’

Wow! First Corvair! Maybe someone in this club would have contact with T. G.

https://www.northtexascorvair.org/

I played around searching for T.G. but didn't get him.

I learned on a maroon '61 4dr Corvair Monza! It was rear-ended two times (I wasn't driving) and bad body work allowed it to rust too much in Ohio where we lived.

We had a lot of troubles after the second hit and my dad got tired of it and he gave it to my BIL. He got rid of after a while.

I loved it and it's light steering and fun suspension.

I almost bought one of the second versions that belonged to a guy was too old to drive. Too bad worked Nader worked to killed it off.

That’s a great story :-)

You told the right person. I think others would say you should have notified the insurance company that they gave too much

But this is planet Earth :-) they have enough money and I bet it was a rocking car. 3 years 100,000 mi of rocking and rolling. That’s awesome!!

[dp0622]

Lol

I don’t know. Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do at some point :-)

God I love that car!

But not nearly as much as you Lord and I understand I can enjoy things as long as they never come before you...

I’m going through some religious thing in middle age :-)

I am not going to commit the sin of pride. A guy I know who lives and dies for Dodge challengers made all of the adjustments and honest it was a rocket before but it just almost left the ground after he did what he did.

I know some but I am clearly not near your caliber so I will leave it at that :)

One more thing though it has taken me years to finally Park that damn thing easily. I had Camaros and mustangs and a firebird way back and they are small and easy to park. This thing’s kind of big

[dp0622]

I have had a mustang and a Camaro and a challenger and a firebird and a Nissan 350z.

I agree with you.

my favorite car was my z28 Camaro convertible black in and out leather seats. :)

But I really enjoy this Challenger

UNDERSTOOD. - I also would buy one of the later turbo SPYDERS, IF I could find one that the owner doesn’t think is “a NATIONAL TREASURE”.
(I know where there is a PLUM/black interior late SPYDER convertible for sale in Corpus Christi, that needs a considerable amount of work. - Sadly, the owner is asking about what a CORVETTE in great shape would possibly sell for at HIGH RETAIL.)

Btw, the lady, who lives at the place where my aunt’s Corvair is supposed to be, claims that she’s never heard of the current owner.
(Fwiw, Mr. B. G. S___________, the Chevy dealer who sold the car to my aunt about 45 days before they were even “announced” got “YELLED AT” a LOT by GMC management for selling it to her.= PRETTY ladies tend to get what they ask for, when you or I would be simply told, “SORRY, but NO.”)

Yours, TMN78247

That "religious thing" is the emerging relationship with the creator of the universe ...... and your own soul.

It's a blessed life and full of awesome sauce.

Welcome

I have a monster virus so I have been up all night. I have done a lot of posting LOL

I see threads with quotes from the Bible that make it sound like it is a sin to enjoy anything. Really anything at all even family.

I am not nearly as well read in the Bible as many here and I am trying to catch up.

The person who post threads hitting on that theme on a regular basis is a good person. And I enjoy their posts. and I understand we are supposed to be in this world and not of it.

And Jesus did tell that rich guy to sell everything. I don’t want to sell everything lol. But I certainly don’t want to go to hell.

I have thought for a very long time that there should be a running thread on this board for Christians weak and strong in their faith and those knowledgeable and those not so knowledgeable to exchange questions and answers.

I don’t expect someone to have an answer for every question but boy would it help my faith

As with anything else in life those who know a lot about a subject can help someone who doesn’t

It would be a beautiful thing to have here. Have a good one man

[dp0622]

And by the way I won’t say I envy your faith. I do admire it.

Okay maybe I envy it a little bit :-) another sin.

“I should grow up!!!”

Fuq that.
He said “You don’t need no strength, you need to grow up, son”
I said “Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying
And dying to me don’t sound like all that much fun”...John Cougar

[wita]

Maybe this will help with that enjoyment issue.

I was born again in 1981 at the age of 33 ( THAT will preach )

I began my church attendance with (and still ) independent Baptist churches .

Shortly after I was saved, I heard a preacher preach what I just recently learned how to meme .... and I've never forgotten it.

Hey, I was 23 and clueless - I had no idea what the insurance company owed me. I just told my Dad’s car-dealer friend what I had to spend, and without asking my thoughts, he got me that stunning gold/black top/black interior convertible Wildcat that was like new. All I told him was I needed a car to seat 6 for my work.

Owning that car for 3 months quickly changed my mind about 6 seats, and my heart always wanted a fastback Mustang instead of the coupe.

It is a cool story and what makes it so cool is it’s true. Then the movie came out a month after I got the car - and everywhere I went people commented on it.

I have a 1,000 more cool stories just like that one. Like how a major US newspaper named me and a friend “Gator Nappers” after we ‘borrowed’ a full-grown alligator for a prank that went astray, with the alligator (Alberta) making her way from where we left her in a remote pond into the largest lake in.......you’ll never guess it......Indiana.

[dp0622]

Lol

You have to tell me more about that alligator story. :)

[dp0622]

Wow that’s a great quote!

[dp0622]

Wow. What an incredible book the Bible is

Well, obviously. I need to study it so much more.

If you had to have your PCM unlocked, it should be an obvious item on your mechanic bill. Those have to be sent off to a lab, and it's not cheap either. The reason I even mentioned any of this is out here at Ft. Hood the soldier kids have money burning in their pockets and they have to have fast everything - fast sport bikes, fast cars, fast boats and so forth. They'll buy Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers & Chargers, bolt a bunch of stuff on, don't tune them, and the results are just horrible. I can tell what they fouled up by the sound the car makes. The worst mod of all is the air cleaner that is just a tube with a filter on the end of it. The "big" air boxes are factory available from Chevy, FoMoCo & Mopar and mod specs for those are even available for upload to the PCM. They go to the drag strip at the south end of the county and get smoked by a guy with a stock Jap V6, and wonder what happened. I've seen this go on for years.
