The steering wheel may be made from the same plastic as older screwdrivers. It may be developing "mange". I read somewhere that the chemical you're smelling is the same chemical that gives off the aroma from vomit.

The thieves would need to make a sale on one of the stolen cars to have funds for that....

Wow, that's a treasure trove of rust free early forward look nirvana. Alpine is in the mountains east of San Diego. As far as cars in the "barn find" category, this is cream of the crop.

Hey, I recognize those pics!

I'm not a big fan of the root beer interior, but agree, one could begin his flippin' career with a car like this. It'll probably be the subject of another thread on here before long, as it makes its way up the flipper food chain.

If the Foster Farms chicken duo upgraded to a C body, this would be it.

And that Desoto above reminded me of the article in HCC published in January 2011, where they compared it with a '57 fuel injected Chevy Bel Air. I love the pink and mauve combo...

I'm not sure about residential, but in commercial and institutional construction, fire dampers are placed in these locations that close when heat is sensed.

Reminded me of this Flxible seen on Catalina island back in 2009.

I was previously unwise to Bill's contributions and friendship to the Mopar scene but I'm moved to see this thread. I probably have read his various articles on Allpar over the years. Your compassion is exemplary, @marko.

How ironic that the last T&C gets published in the very last issue of HCC... (the latter of which I'm sad about by the way). @Totally 80's by the way, love the house in the background of the photos on this thread. Very mid century. The block, the stone, and the rock roof all combine perfectly...

An IP address?

This is a good example of the necessity of a rated separation between an attached garage and residence. From the description it seemed like the fire went into the attic immediately. Rated separation = wall assembly rated (by UL and state code) to withstand fire on one side for a given amount of...

Very bad news for this couple, and horrible timing in the middle of winter and right before Christmas. Hopefully they have somewhere to stay? Also, hopefully the exact cause is determined, if possible. Perhaps it could have been their house wiring/breaker not being sufficient to support car...

These shifter seal replacement tools look to be in the $18 - $45 range on feebay now. this one below is $35. Many look to be Amazon style knockoffs... they'll copy anything these days. Mopar Chrysler Transmission Shifter Seal Removal Tool 727 904 TorqueFlite Dodge | eBay

the chargers are supposed to automatically stop charge current when the battery reaches a full charge, if they keep charging past the limit, something is not right....

I hereby approve of this 1973 Polara. May it find itself in appropriate hands.

The apparent pristine condition of the emissions and other decals says a lot. :thumbsup: That gold paint would be an excellent candidate for a hand rub down with Meguiar's #7 followed by some carnuba wax, just like the gold Lincoln Continental was featured in the AutoGeek forum on restoring...

As a previous owner of a Colorado car, I can vouch for the minimal rust thing. My previous '73 was driven though, and the unibody and stub frame were still quite pristine, inside and out.

The handle and step combo could in theory make it an 11-pass wagon, lol. Secret service style....
