Had my 72 Caddy Eldorado for 40 years, now sold it. Got instead now a 77 Nova. The other car was just costing too much in gas. Why, just starting the 8.2L engine cost me $10! This Nova has a small block 8 cylinder, so its peppy enough and economical enough. Just got to do a little more learning for its upkeep. For many years had a garage to call my own. Now I got to do all my work on the street. That means some jobs I won't dare do because if I get stuck, I can't honor the alternate-side-of-the-street parking rules in Brooklyn, for which you can get a hefty ticket. In a garage, if I'm stuck, why, I'll just pull out a cold beer. Cheers to you jalopey folks!
Roughie...you know the HAMB is for pre-65 vehicles right? Although the cl***ic, antique and vintage car hobby crosses many years the HAMB specifically focus on the pre-65 traditional hotrods and customs. You may not receive too many interested in your off topic (OT) cars...with that out of the way, welcome from Kansas City, the wealth of knowledge here is overwhelming and apply to OT's like yours.
