I believe it was a Supercharged Stude Golden Hawk, four speed. $300 on the lot at the local Ford dealer. This was in 67, the car was black and...
As far as I know, the vent windows are the same. Can't imagine they would re-tool something like that, anyway they fit fine on mine after I...
I turned a 51 Vicky into a convertible. Had to find the convertible cowl, and the top assembly, but even the captured nuts for the hydraulic top...
I started with a couple hundred dollar car, and thought, this won't be too bad. Tore it down to the bare frame and went from there. It is my...
Welcome another Minnesotan. . .just a couple hundred miles north of you.
That is down right cool.
Located in the heart of the Red River Valley of the north, the "Valley Cruisers", Ada, MN. Founded in 2000. Small club, big on fun.
Great idea.
Damn, send it my way. Only rode sled (snowmobile) twice this winter.
My dad was the president of the Norman County Fair in Ada, Minnesota, in the 60s. They would come and thrill the the crowd every year. From...
I bought the three carb set, built my own progressive linkage. I couldn't be happier.
Agreed. Used Speedway, works super.
I just ordered another temp gauge when I bought the kit from Omega. My dash is not the original configuration, so I just put one on each side of...
My dad had a wagon, and even though I was only five, I can remember riding in it. It had a three speed, and he liked to rev it up and go.
I had a brother who was 11 years younger, when I went away to college, he found the boxes they were packed in, and got very creative "improving"...
Merry Christmas from balmy Northern Minnesota!
Below zero here today, but here's hoping that everyone can enjoy a warm and happy day with family and friends. Safe travels everyone.
My dad was a station wagon guy. He had a bunch, my favorite was a couple of early 60 Pontiac 9 passengers. Always maroon, maroon interiors. I...
Have them all in a big file folder as well, don't plan to add them up. I have a general idea, though. I started with a $200 car and though to...
I would be interested in finding out more about the strange alien light.
That was a fun read.
Stirred a lot of good memories. My grandfather and father were true Pontiac wagon lovers. From a two tone 55 to a gold on gold (with woodgrain) 67...
Wow. Neighbor had one a couple doors down when I was 16. It was 1966, and my dad wasn't interested in me even asking if it was for sale. Bill...
Wow, that's sad. Having made it through a couple of disasters, you can knock us down, but you can't count us out. Here's hoping for strength in...
Welcome as well. Don't know where you are in MN, but if you are close enough to West Fargo, hit the Toppers show this weekend. 56th one, I'll be...
Oh my, hit the sweet spot here. I love old Lionel trains, and the truck ain't bad either. Sitting here in a good ole spring blizzard.
I still run the weekly newspaper which has been in my family since 1880. . .yeah, 1880, we are several issues into Volume 135. Many, many hours...
When we met in 1974, she was driving a lifted 4-wheel drive Blazer with a four speed. Been one hell of a ride since we were married in 1976. Fun,...
