History MARK MORIARITY...........ULTIMATE COLLECTOR

“NOS kitchen”

 

When I worked in the Depot machine shop under the Army's Projection Transition Program before I finished my tour there an old, non working refrigerator that was used to store all the arc welding rods in. The shop foreman said it was to keep them out of the light. But I doubt that @Moriarity uses much in the way of stick rods. My guess is that he is more of a Tig or Mig guy.

 

He probably could use the fridge to keep the paint and fiberglass hardners fresh.

 

Or maybe some beer so he could offer a pint to a mate from across the pond if they come to view Mark's collection?

 

In the 70s my spinster aunt bought a mobile home to use as a storage unit (she had Moriarity kind of money). Never had electric so the appliances were never hooked up. Fast forward to 2004 and my refrigerator went out. I got the harvest gold General Electric unit out of that trailer. Still had the doors taped shut. Worked like a charm. At my girlfriends insistence we replaced the fridge this spring because it didn't self defrost. Still works like a charm for the guy I gave it to.

My point? The fridge will probably work in 40 years when your family sells the house.

 

I thought the city was turning the place into an official museum after Mark’s untimely demise?

 

Not a museum, a shrine!

 

One of my goals is to meet Mark in person, if I get the see his collection it’s a bonus. I’ve only messaged him through the H.A.M.B. but he is a hell of a nice guy!

 

I've got one of his calendar's... autographed no less. On the wall between Alex X's and Dean Jeffries.

 

I sure would like to see your collection and talk to you!

 

Super tuner….we all wanted one, but they were expensive back then!

 

Where in KS?

 

the thing i allways liked of that era was the colored tear drop lookong dash knobs..... don't see them much any more

 

I wondered if you could still buy these, so I Googled it. There are a bunch like in the pic above out there for sale by several vendors. Maybe it's time Clarence got some blue and clear knobs. I'm talking about the ones made with clear plastic and blue glue. Those I haven't found. My brother made some in the early 1960's in shop class.

 

Got it made.

 

to each their own.....the vette and the bubbletop are 2 that i like to see more stock...you have a passion for the wild side..and i'm on the mild side...all your cars and collection are the flavor "YOU"like.... and you do it well.... i never was a cartoon car guy... but I respect your choice as yours...and you are the only one that has made fun of my 53 chevy.. probley cause other say it after they walk away...

 

and i'd love the chance to see your collection...pretty awesome

 

Time to start restoring your cars @Moriarity

 

Custom, because stock sucks. Sounds like this guy is on the wrong board. Sheeeesh, some people..........E

 

We should start a new thread "Stump Mark Moriarity" We find an obscure auto accessory, or custom part, and see if he has it in his collection! Might take quite a while before we find one he doesn't have.

 

I don't believe I'm gonna live that long...

 

I tried that with the knobs and timing...got one strike left...
