Is there an after market wiring harness that will allow me to install a newer computerized engine in my older classic car? If so where car I get one? What will I need from the donor car other than the engine?

This is an older man who will do anything for anyone, he has had some health problems and wants to fix up a classic car. The car was originally mine, the last thing my father gave me, he fell in love with it and knowing I could never do the work, he now has it. He says he’ll fix it up and we can all drive it. But for him it would be alot of work, he recently had an accident, while working and broke ribs and other, and may never fully recover. He would love to have this car fixed up and be able to drive it. Just the nicest man who deserves to have something done for him. As He has always doen everything for everyone. These shows exist in other states, that will re-model a vehicle, but what about in Wisconsin or will one of these TV shows, pick up a vehicle from Wisconsin. ???
God Bless, we do!!!
Can you help me identify the vintage car in this pic?

I’d figure it won’t cost as much to get a used classic car, especially one that’s beat up a bit. That would give me time to work on the car myself, gain some experience along the way, and customize it to my own wants.
However, thinking about this makes me feel worried that it’s not a safe idea, due to the lack of safety features back then. I’d also have to learn on a manual, which I have no experience on. Lastly, how would insurance be?
It’s just an idea I haven’t put too much thought into, so if you all agree it’s a bad idea, I wouldn’t complain.
I was thinking of a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am. Is that a good idea? The only problem is I have no idea how to really work on cars. I don’t want to mess with the mechanical stuff, but I think I might be able to change the seats or something.
I work part time selling guns. When I first started a long time ago, I screwed up. I paid $15 for a beat up 22, I think it was a Savage, maybe not. I honestly thought after cleaning and sighting in, it would be a serviceable plinker. It wasn’t. The boss was a little mad because he didn’t consider it salable. It was locked up for nearly a year in a storage vault.
Then they had a gun buy back program. You got $25, even for a bolt action 22. Semi-auto? That meant $50! POS 25 auto pistol, you got $100. We got rid of a Raven Arms MP-25 that way. Probably paid $10 for it. No takers at $50, not even $30, but the government was glad to pay $100 for it! We even recovered a small profit on the 22. Pity they only allowed the turn in of 2 guns per person.
I still work for that shop. We have a Marlin 60 from about 1975 that has sat on our racks for a year or so. Was $75. Marked down to $60, then to $50. No takers. It is beat. The funny part is it is technically an “Assault Rifle” as if you have a detachable magazine of 10+ rounds or a fixed magazine of 15+ rounds. This gun and other semi-auto tube fed 22’s had typically 17 until the early 1990’s. Today the Model 60 has only 14 rounds in a shorter tube simply because the old way technically made it an “assault rifle”. What fearsome force of mercenary-terrorists carry a 1980’s vintage Marlin 60 into battle? How many live to tell about it? Maybe they want to incapacitate our troops by having them laugh hysterically at their “assault weapons”? Who can understand those dastardly minds. Sheer military genius if you ask me!
Anyhow… we will be glad to turn in this evil weapon. We fully expect the reward to be over $100. We have a vault of garbage guns we’d LOVE to unload. Will Uncle Sam be buying soon?
I am looking for mostly classic muscle cars such as the Mustangs, GTO’s, etc. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You
One brand that commands respect and royal stature is Rolls-Royce, with even the Queen of England acknowledging to its magnificence. Rolls-Royce150m.com has reported that “whenever Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II or other members of the Royal family travel on official engagements, the journey will include the use of a Rolls-Royce motor car”. The Rolls-Royce is so important that it even went aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia, tucked away in its own specially constructed garage.
When the state cars used to transport members of the Royal family are not in use they are housed in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. Royal.Gov.uk reports that “there are eight State limousines, consisting of two Bentleys, three Rolls-Royces and three Daimlers”. More surprisingly there are also a number of Volkswagen people carriers that accompany the Royal fleet vehicles.
For many people, catching a glimpse of a member of the Royal family can only be achieved at slow speeds and from a short distance, which is why the Bentleys are fitted with a “removable exterior roof covering which exposes a clear inner lining, giving an all-round view of their Royal passengers”, reports Royal.Gov.uk.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom VI was added to the Royal collection, having been presented to The Queen in 1978 for her Silver Jubilee by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. The oldest existing member of the fleet is the Phantom IV, built in 1950 and has been used by the likes of Princess Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh. Just like a fine wine, the Phantom gets better with time and despite its age is still in excellent condition, being used for occasions such as Ascot. This prestigious event requires high status, so it’s no surprise the transport of choice is the Rolls-Royce.
Classic cars symbolise historical significance, which is why some historic Royal cars can be viewed at the Sandringham Museum. Vintage cars you should expect to see include the 1900 Daimler bought by Edward VII, and a half-scale Aston Martin given to Princes William and Harry in 1998.
Rolls-Royce has supplied numerous members of the Royal family with cars for many years and has been proudly displaying the Royal Coat of Arms during this time. In 1955, after 5 years of providing quality service Rolls-Royce, “successfully challenged Daimler’s 60 year lead as Royal Warrant holders” and continue to hold that honour to this day. No doubt Rolls-Royce will carry on producing its classic cars of the future for years to come.
I’m looking for reasonable terms/conditions and rates to insure a 1967 Chevy Chevelle. Anyone have any experience or recommendations for insurance companies specializing in classic cars?
Thanks!
I am 17 and have passed my driving test, so hold a full UK license, i wan’t to borrow my dad’s classic car for a day, to take my date to the the end of year prom. Is it possible to get temporary insurance for me for just a day? without adding me to the actual car policy? It is a Triumph Spitfire 1500. Thank you for your ideas.
