    Here we go again. I doubt anyone here would be as dumb as I was to fall for this, but in case you forgot what happened to me about eight years ago:

    This has got to be one of the strangest optioned cars I've seen

    Check this out. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-ford-mustang-38/#comments-anchor A base "non Mach I" 72 sportsroof with factory Ram Air, rear spoiler, and a half vinyl roof in red with Mach I interior appointments. I have always heard of 72s and 73s with factory Ram Air, but I have...

    Did anyone see this? Another hack job at Mecum goes for $51,500!

    https://www.mecum.com/lots/1108019/1971-ford-mustang-mach-1-fastback/?aa_id=539244-0 Proof that a pretty paint job will sell any car. I bet the car was horrible in person. Look at the oil gauge with the missing pointer and the corrosion on the radio bezel. And it is an H code with no A/C or...

    One of my cars made it into a movie!

    So last year I was approached by a film producer who lives locally in Birmingham, AL. (but moved here from California) to see if she could use one of my cars for her film, "It's Alright Now." I jumped at the chance and let her use a 1973 Medium Copper Metallic Q code convertible that has had...

    Something actually went right today!

    So I've been fixing up a 72 Vert, factory Bright Red/White/White car I bought a few years ago. Unfortunately, the trunk key was missing when I bought it. I have a big bag of ignition and trunk keys from cars I parted out, and I've tried using them many times in similar situations with no luck...

    Quick question. Where to connect power lead for radio to come on with key in "accessory position?"

    Hooking up a Custom Auto Sound radio. I find all kinds of places to hook up power that come on when the ignition switch is in the "on" position, but that will fry the coil when listening to the radio with the car not running. The radio power lead gets no juice when I turn the ignition...

    Please help. Starter keeps running

    Okay. I've read all the posts I can find about this issue and nothing I try works. I've got a 72 Mustang with a 351C. This is a car someone else restored so I'm not sure what all was done to it. The car would start fine but the starter would stay engaged for a second after the ignition key was...

    Selling "Miss Donna" 8000 mile "barn-find" to fund my twenty other projects. Auction ends in three days.

    I know a lot of you guys think I'm asking too much, but too many times I have sold cars for what I felt was a good price only to find them end up selling at Barrett Jackson for twice what I sold them for, even though the new owners did nothing to the car and I did all the work. I put a lot of...

    best correct windshield wiper blades

    Hello all. I have spent the day trying to find the best, most correct, and best price (including shipping) for a set of TRICO 18" windshield wiper blades and I have been disappointed. Some that are advertised have gotten bad reviews because of a plastic connector (even though the picture shows a...

    How does this work?

    I think this is a spark delay valve. I have checked it when it is hot and cold and at no time does it allow any vacuum to go from the carburator to the single port on the vacuum advance, so what's the point? I figured maybe it opens when the ambient air under the hood gets to a cetain...

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    Hi all. I tried to read all the posts on the Pertronix ignitors and still don't know whether to buy a I or II. Any help? Also, can I get the correct part numbers for a 351C 2V? I know I don't want the III after reading the posts. Thanks! Kevin.

    Look what Ford did to the new FL1A oil filters

    Went to buy a new Motorcraft oil filter and I'm not happy with the new silk screen they are using. Might as well throw a Fram on it! Also, I went to get Marti Auto repro Motorcraft spark plug wires (which have always been available and looked great on my 72s and 73s) and now all he makes are the...

    Took Ms. Donna out for a drive yesterday.

    Took Ms. Donna out for a drive yesterday and the speedo turned over 8,000 miles. No longer a need to count the miles obscessively like when I got her at 7,912. Might as well drive the crap out of her now, lol.
