Cal-Nev-TX grids are relevant. Not political. Infrastructure. Texas has huge base of “explosion-motor” support dating back well (pun intended) over 100y. It’s tiresome listening to the “way of the future” when lots of normal people can barely afford used ICE’s. I looked hard at EVs 8y ago. Still not suitable for my needs, I looked again. Take a look at lithium mining btw. Rate limiting variable if I ever saw one. Hydrogen decent, Honda had one they leased in CA. Few takers. Maybe they’ll dig up all the streets and put in wires to charge on the fly. ? Just as soon as they finish Big Dig again.

Wasn’t there a spare cover in there at one point? Iirc I liked original trunk hinges better than late ones.

I’m worried about the wiper motor, horn, and fetzer valve. 69 Tonneau cool too, spy stuff. Single version Ertl era stuff was a let down. Hemis saved it but not like old annuals.

TX grid failed with 6 plants shutting down with 100 degree weather in May last week. July August September are ALWAYS 100 degrees. For days at a time. Temps below freezing have always been in north Texas. Now whole state drops below freezing for days-weeks at a time. Add electric charging infrastructure, the effect of 6-10000# cars on pavement, and the cost of the cars for normal incomes. It won’t go well. I love tech. I had interest 8y ago, wasn’t practical then. Still isn’t for many western states. Nearest big city to west is 700miles away. East it is 350mi. We have minimal public transport. #howdatgonwork

I’d second the Toyota/Tahoe. Older Land Cruisers and Lexus versions nice, and pretty damn tough. Look on past Bring-a-Trailer ads for details. The big 6 in the 06-12 period I think are boat anchor reliable.

I’m a life member of Friends-of-OPEC. So pass. I drive a lot in places that don’t have cell coverage or many gas stations. I looked at Model S years ago. No chargers, no dealers, and range at 100+ with AC on in 100 degree days isn’t great. I like tech. But not suitable for uses for me.

Easier to find Johan 66 Hearse or Ambulance than a Hubley Ford or a ‘60 Brookwood. Sheet plastic cheapest

I’ll just leave this here. Stratos Wheels off Nitto/Esci kits perfect. prob need a full engine RG Stratos too. One boxing of it in Revell US, ages ago. The Marui/Tilt 308 has flares most like Michelotto. https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-group-4-spec-ferrari-308-gtb-isnt-afraid-to-play-in-the-mud

I want to know story on Fury/Valiant thing in background. Shortened into a Starlight coupe thing.

Spy stuff? Lol. Thanks for this. I’m a convertible guy. Hunted long time to find 68-9 converts. Pre eBay intarweb. ??

It’s a hood made of pinholes. Trash imo. Should have not made it out door.

@Paul PayneOpen hood on ‘62. Chrome on R says 1962. ‘61’s didn’t have open hoods. Looks like 61 f grille on L car too

Dual kit idea! 78 Bronco and service trailer, with new Bronco on trailer ? Call it the Auction Special, either car towing other ?

Ukraine has nicely disproven the bullet-proof tag on Soviet tanks. ????

Don’t forget the Prestone and fresh ball-bearings.

Sod buster is stepside version of Call Guy/Deserter, correct?

Sweet! But here it comes ??‍♂️?

Funny. Bronco is cool too. Hubcaps are same as original issue 68-69 ht and convertibles. Fetzer valve looks like it’s reversed btw.

Woot. I’ve got original but glad they did it. Doubtless a coupe will follow. Happy end to the jillions of Coronet threads. Those guys need to buy these by case. Where was this?

That’s the Really Longnose Mustang I recalled, just couldn’t remember where. Killer. Thanks Tim Lee

Cool Bill. There’s a 275 GTB 2 cam behind it in that pic at Villa D’Este to help a bit. Found this article has interior shots. Tempest wheel, seems started earlier than 65, with BAT influence. Good work as always. Enjoy going down a rabbit hole always. ??‍♂️? https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/herb-adams-vivant-77.1074768/

Hope he get a couple laughs anyway.

Thx. Hopefully not this.

That Bill guy can really write! ???
