And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I met an old boy at the hardware store this spring driving one with 32,000 miles. Same yellow paint but it had the central hood scoop. He bought it for $5,000 in 1992 in North Carolina when almost no one wanted them and now he's turning down offers of $75,000. Al_in_Ottawa
That is how I found my 71 Cuda in 1978. It had 4 dry rotted flat tires, dead battery, sour gas tank, and 105K miles. It also had a blown head gasket. New tires, shocks, ball joints, battery, head gaskets, hoses, belts plugs, points, wires, condenser, 4-barrel carb rebuild kit, filters(all), fuel tank flush, and fluid replacements got it running again. The paint was sun scorched so when I used polishing compound on the red paint it had a pink tinge after the wax job. It was a strait line only car as it handled like crap. The 440 4v with 4 speed tranny would get 9 mpg highway and 7.5 to 8 mpg as a daily driver. When fuel jumped from 79 cents a gallon to $1.25 I could no longer afford to drive the car. I sold the car for the money I had invested in it. I should have parked it in the barn as it is worth 400% more than I sold it for now.
That is a rare find - 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee?
ReplyDeleteThe UGLIEST of the B bodies and yet,... it still looks pretty damn good compared to modern conveyances. I'd drive it.
ReplyDeletelist retail price was $3000 in 1970.
