When restoring an old 60’s model chevy, how much would a good body shop charge to fix rusted areas around the windshield and back glass? Is it a lot of work? When choosing a car to restore, are there areas that might be rusted that make a car not worth messing with? I can do everything myself except body work, that just isn’t my knack.
Assuming it is safe and mechanically sound, would you drive a classic muscle car like a 1966 or 1967 Mustang if it has been converted from a gasoline to either an all electric or to a hybrid gasoline electric? The bodies are in very good shape, and the interiors are in good condition, appropriately dated to the late 60’s era.
I’d like to know why or why not.
I am buying a 1976 Mercury Marquis with a 400ci moter. What have people found to be the best insurance with the lowest price? I am shopping around but I would like other classic car peoples opinions. I live in the tristate area(OH, KY IN)
ok i am a weird girl. i LOVE classic cars. especially the ‘68 candy apple red ford mustang convertible. i am moving in a few months and i want my room to be a classic car/beach theme…(its possible i saw a picture that ties it all together). but i cant find any model classic cars i could build. please help me!!!!!!!!!! =] now ive seen them before but i cant find them anymore. so do you know of any places?
looking to import a 1960’s classic Italian sports car from a dealer in australia to Caliornia. Can someone illuminate me on the legal process (DOT?) and what costs I can expect to incur (shipping, duty, taxes, etc…)?
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?
