  1. I have seen that car in the flesh, sitting on a side street in downtown Anderson, SC. If you google 67 428 country squire, there are lots of pics. I bet it is a hoot to drive! It also has buckets and console.
  2. Well, to finish off the trio of the trio, do the Early Iron Versions of each!
  3. "The radio plays a forgotten song..." -- Radar Love Golden Earring
  4. How does a chopped Vicky with a 409 become a Dodge?
  5. The Lotus 49 is the most beautiful and pure automobile ever made. Awhile back, someone asked the question if money were no object, what car would you buy--- here's mine!
  6. OK, now you are just showing off...
  7. Actually, after a bit of searching, I found this: http://www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/a-brief-history-of-hercules-engines Descendant of Hercules and Hall-Scott it looks like. Later Molines used Hercules Diesel engines. Oliver used the Waukesha.
  8. For the I-6 engine, it was most likely a Waukesha like the Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline gassers for the bigger tractors, since White owned those brands in the 60's-early 70's. For distributor location on the giesel, I'd suspect it was in the same spot as the injection pump on diesels.
  9. I know nothing about it, but the concept of using a diesel to start with, then use LP/propane, it would literally last forever. Tractor pullers convert diesel to spark ignition alcohol burners for the same reasons-- high boost pressure longevity!
  10. Looks like Sour Kraut carried the Mo'luminum conversion, but it is listed as sold out. Thanks for the info, at least I will know what to look for.
  11. Does anyone make a conversion kit for a 9300 to fit this?
  12. I don't know what the deal is. I was at Hobby Lobby, and they had a coupe on the shelf. Went to Michael's, and they had the roadster. I didn't buy either one. Perhaps I should have, and put them on Evil bay to gouge someone?
  13. While we're at it, so was a Cosworth DFV. I'll take 2!
  14. You're welcome, Chris. Thank you for the correction on the steering wheel. The boat belongs to my boss. His father had it, and several years after he passed, my boss restored it. Over 5 figures in chrome on that tub! The kit engine has some V-6 Hemi, but this boat has a 327 AMC (converted to marine use by Gray Marine) that originally had two 2bbl sidedraft Carters. Now has a Holley 4bbl.
  15. Some 1:1 pics of a Century Coronado. The kit is different in a couple areas-- the prow is different with the "pig nose", the back seat upholstery detail is totally off, and inconsistent with the other seats, and the dash layout needs to be scraped off and sanded. Thankfully, the gauge decals appear to be accurate. This particular boat does not have the hardtop. Also, the real steering wheel came from a '59 Lincoln. The kit piece is nowhere close. Enjoy!
  16. Actually, Art, the Mercedes that AMGeneral are building are Chinese market only R-class. We (MBUSI in Tuscaloosa, AL) are still the only plant that builds the GLE and GLS as well as most US market C-class sedans. We had to contract Mishawaka to build the R class to free up capacity for the others.
  17. 55-56 Continental MKII 59 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner 64 Thunderbird 65 Impala SS 65-70 GT350 Boss Nine Boss 302 Lambo Muira 250 GTO 69 Super Bee 68-73 Corvette AMC The Machine, S/Crambler, AMX with the GO! Package....pick any one The Muira would be the pick if I could only choose one, the top three would be it, the Continental, and the Super Bee
  18. Yes, it will run fine. You will see a slight decrease in fuel mileage, but it will run ok. Your engine's computer will make sure of that.
  19. That would be a good start. Hiya, Mike! ( Todd 55 from zrxoa)
  20. After 35 years, yeah, it's obscure. BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH fine album though. Punk meets Jazz and killer lyrics.
