http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15287&item=2498149683&rd=1 Here's another good candidate for PS Maybe we can start a friendly pool and see how high this auction goes In the background I see the car is at Thorton's in Pa, that's the resto shop who makes the repro ram-air hoods
HOLY $H!T !! Talk about a match to my F85 !!! Someone needs to buy this W-30 and my W-31 and have a matched set !!!!! :eek2:
for the W-30 :eek2: for the buying of the W-30 and Casey's car to have a matched set :eek2: that would be just like the 2 agean aqua cars on the bridge at the Centennial
Just as soon as I hit the lottery I'll be by with cash.................... speakin of lottery..............today in NJ the pick-3 midday numbers were 442, figyres after I move my numbers come out :rant:
Case: I did a doubletake when I saw that car. Thought it would make a perfect stablemate for your car. Why don't you sell off your Mopar stuff, buy this, move up the ladder of respectability about 4 notches, and get a tandem trailer behind that new Cummins? Keep the Biscayne.....it's too cool. That car shipped to our favorite place in NW Canada could reappear and set a new high water mark. I don't see anything wrong or major there. W27, no less.......... There's $5k alone. :Brow: :Brow: :Brow:
The thermostat housing has been replaced, and looks like the water pump, too. That does it -- I'm not going to buy it!!!! :grin: Should be interesting to see how much this one goes for. This one needs a restoration. The $78k car was good enough as is. It's calling your name, Casey ...... Casey ....... Casey ...... You should be able to afford it if you sell that wimpy W-31. It's about time you step up and experience the power of a big block. :bglasses:
I can't believe that I am going to beat Dave to this comment! But first, Case would have to learn how to shift! :spank:
I about fell out of the chair when I was looking at the pictures. Spiral shocks, a real W-27 rear end, the green interior! Looks complete, just need the "Led Zepplin" treatment.... Needs a Whole Lotta Love! p
He does pretty good rowing the gears in the Biscayne. Shifting is the easy part, just ask JJ. Put on a 3 foot long shift handle, wiggle your big toe on your right foot when you're ready and yank! Left pedal is only for stopping and starting. Now launching a stick shift is an art! Best 60 I've had this year is a 1.90 at Norwalk. Always on the edge of disaster, though, if you push it. Much easier with a big block and launch at idle speed, but you're at a disadvantage to an automatic due to the torque multiplication factor in the convertor (especially the switch pitch ones that seem to have come in most of the Buicks.) :grin: Small blocks love those 4000 RPM launches. :3gears: :3gears: :3gears:
So, does anyone care to take a guess what this car is going to cost? dave, I know you made a guess on ROP
