Looks like fun. Wonder why the guy was disappointed.
Bc its a 74' gas crunch 318...my Dakota w the 318 had more torque,hp and was probably lighter. Have driven quite a few OS muscle's and the 318 was a dog outside of the satelites....but is still bulletproof until they killed it off in 2004/5 I think it was. All of my fam's racecars ran 318's and 360's from early 50's until 1999

Before the Z33, I almost bought an old muscle car with a 318. Or was it a 383? Either way, it WAS a dog and was a heavy beast.

I would spend more time trying to show them what needed to be done... and if by chance they were capable enough up front, they would be worth more than I could pay them.

there actually has been a few get togethers around my area, and I haven't made them.... I am kind of a cry baby this time of year, always trying to get everyone to feel bad for me.

Maybe I can send my kids to go over there and help.

I like spending time outside doing physical labor as long as there's food and drink. Just spent 2+ hours outside detailing the van. My god, it's old and falling apart. Rust spots and bubbling everywhere, but we're going to drive it into the ground before I overpay for a new used van with payments.

I'm calling it a day on the farm... fixed a hydraulic problem on an old beater 2010 john deere - that's a model number 2010, it's a 1968 model year

also reinstalled a raidator in my hagie sprayer that I had repaired.

I might actually clean up my evo a bit. still need to buff out a panel on it. I had the rear quarters resprayed. previous owner rolled the rear fenders and the paint was starting to chip on the roll..... so those wondering, don't roll your fenders unless you are willing to repaint. the paint will eventually crack.

Did you read that Greg? Don't roll your...oh, wait.

Yeah, I'm done here. Not as intense as your place Aaron, so I'm not complaining. Felt good to be outside and stay active.

Sell your farm for $10M so they can build a subdivision out there. J/K

Yea its inevitable, the whole car will get repainted when I get the side skirts and rear bumper. Might go for a brighter silver like Mercedes benz has, or maybe the Palladium Silver, or my new fav MAGNO Platinum

trust me, that's the plan, but the damn economy... my dad actually sold some land back a few yrs that the buyer defaulted on and we now are cash flowing - ie, not zoned ag any longer.

Well worked on the Z today to get rid of that annoying clicking sound from the rear axles and was it in need of getting greased up. It was metal on metal, absolutly nothing to scrape off of the old. Did an oil change as well and topped off all fluids, getting ready for proving grounds as my weekends are getting busier and busier. Work all this weekend, Grad party next weekend, the weekend after that will be proving grounds.

The Track might sell at that price if someone really wants an unmolested original.

The other one is a joke.

I was surprised to see that kbb is at 18.5k for a 2003 track with 37000 miles...they'll still be damn lucky to find a buyer at that price though imho.

That second one is like 10k overpriced lol
