Did nobody else notice that it's a 385 series engine and not an FE?

Here's a pic I took of the Corner several years ago. You can see the truck at the curb, along with the statues of some of the Eagles band members and the mural on the window of the building in the background. The gift shops are loaded with t-shirts and such.

Back in the early 70s, I was in HS and had a part time job at a local repair shop. There was a used car lot in the area that had a reputation for selling junk but the cars always looked nice. One day a guy came in with a Chevy Nova he had just bought from them with a 6 cylinder engine. It was missing real bad and the salesman had told him it just needed a tune up. The boss checked it out and it had zero compression on one cylinder. The customer oked pulling the head. When we got it off, there was no piston or rod in the hole.

I am just finishing up a 12 month project, repainting my 70 F100. I had a few small rust repairs to do, then a full repaint with color change.

Is that 2 chrome exhaust tips sticking out the back? It looks like VW exhaust, making it likely a VW based kit car.

In 1976, I worked for an auto parts store that also sold Uniroyal tires. I remember Tiger Paws, but not the yellow stripes. What I remember most was that the Uniroyal tires were mostly junk. We had lots of problems with balance and cord separations. By 1977, we quit the tire business because of all the warranty issues.

I mostly just lurk on this site. I always opened Snake's posts, no matter the topic. He will be missed. RIP

I have a 1/18 die cast I bought several years back. It's by Road Signature.

Manual roll up windows. Non power door locks. Carburetors. Floor mounted dimmer switches. Chrome antennas. Rubber floor mats. Manual steering and drum brakes.

This one was at the F100 Supernationals in 2022.

I've had many over the years, the newest being an 84 Mustang GT. Currently working on my 70 F100.

It may not help when selling single kits but I have been using pirateship.com for larger boxes. It's generally 3/4 the price of UPS online and can save on USPS, too.

Yeah, I especially love the ones where they say "my bf/brother/dad just fixed it."

Definitely not an accurate representation of a Y-block. They use a 1-2-1 exhaust pattern that comes out the side of the head. As mentioned above, they resemble a small block Chevy on the exhaust side. That looks more like an FE exhaust and the oil filter is in the FE location. The valve covers resemble Y-block items, though.

I have the 1/16 die-cast.
