Re: 2009 Shelby GT500 Convertible

That’s a pretty rare car. Only 555 convertibles made in 2009.

Re: Ol' ranch pickup

It has the “cold weather” package installed. Notice the cord hanging out of the
grill. Nice!

Some projects are a challenge. This looks like one of them. It ought to

Re: 1965 Oldsmobile 442

40,045... Hibernation time. The other day, the weather was wonderful, so I washed up the 442 and got it ready for winter. It really was a pretty easy task. There were tons of bugs on the front of the car that I washed off, but other than that, I put a battery tender on it and covered it up. I think ...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain

40483…. Summer tires off/ snow tires on. There’s no threat of snow this week, but it was a nice, dry and sunny day, so
The snows were popped on. Brakes look to be at least 85% all the way around. TPMS sensors programmed. Ready for snow.

Re: online videos of whatever

I heard they didn’t do any of the work themselves, they “sub-bed” it out
to a contractor. :lol:

Re: 1967 Cutlass Convertible

WXO, I’m not certain this motor will ever see anything more than a four barrel and dual exhaust if I hang on to it for any duration. With many small block choices that have much more displacement, it’d be tough to hang on to only 330 cubic inches, with that being said, it does move the car pretty we...

Re: Super cool '57 Olds

I’m always impressed by guys who can take a mundane car like that Olds and make it a hot rod.
Not only do they have a cool vision in their minds, but having the skills to make it a reality is
truly something special.

Re: 2022 Jetta GLI

We don’t have 80 mph speed limits in Ohio, but on my ride to work, there’s no enforcement
of the 65 mph speed limit, so 80 or above isn’t uncommon. I can say that those speeds haven’t
hurt my mileage on the Terrain. It’ll be interesting to see how the freeway helps your mileage.

This is a story that could have ended a lot worse than bringing home an old convertible. I think you have room for a few more Oldsmobiles in that garage.

Re: 1967 Cutlass Convertible

dude, that's sweet!! werent those 330's like 11:1 compression or something? I thought there was something sorta unique about them. -Dave I’m not quite sure what the compression ratio on this one is, as normally the air cleaner assembly color gives you a hint, ( orange = 10.25 / black = 9.0 ) but th...

1967 Cutlass Convertible

Here’s another example of what happens when you look on the internet for things that interest you. I found this ‘67 Cutlass convertible on Facebook Marketplace. Turns out it was owned by the father of a guy that I worked with in the late 90’s. A few beers and laughs later, I did the deal. It’s a 330...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain

37461… Routine oil change completed. Nothing major to report. Once again, mileage per gallon and average speed have gone up. A long road trip to New Jersey and Carlisle a few weeks ago bumped both of those. The Terrain still continues to be a great daily driver.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

I’m not certain what your method of removing the guts of the converter is, but,
as an idea, I would consider cutting a square hole in the top in order to make
sure you don’t alter the alignment of the pipes. Just a suggestion.
