Thanks! I'll buy some from the local Benz dealership. Yes you're right Volvo 960s have those horrid "white block" inline 6 engines. I'd never buy a 960. My 850 Turbo has the reliable 2.3 Turbo inline 5. I give it love LOL, premium fuel only, best synthetic oil, etc. At almost 20 years old and...

What brand do you recommend? I'd like to drain and flush the radiators soon. 1972 Lincoln Continental and 1997 Volvo 850 Turbo sedan.

Don't fret...expensive items of almost every nature (houses, cars, jewelry, business equipment, etc) become very negotiable during a down turn economy. I've always low balled my first offer (knowing full well that I'm prepared to pay a little more). Sometimes the seller actually accepted my...

Guesswein and others like them have long offered older cars for sale at prices that are not favorable to keeping our hobby financially available to a majority of hobbyits. If a 72 New Yorker in overall good condition sells at say, $5000, it is fair and reasonable to assume that it is affordable...

LOL no cloning! If or when I find a 71 (or 70) Monaco 2dr I hope it will be as stock as can be. High mileage won't bother me, a little correctable rust won't bother me. Dull paint, no problem. I can deal with all that for the sake of originality. An interior in piss poor shape WILL bother me...

"Let the buyer beware" is one of the best pieces of advice of all time! As far as 72 Chryslers, I like that 72s are still of the fuselage era but I never took to the pinched center in the grille, it looks too delicate. I think the 70 and 71 Chrysler grilles are a better design. A car that large...

Wow this 71 300 is a real beauty. Looks to be a well maintained, original condition. I agree that the green color is era/period correct and I love that color. $4000 was an excellent price. I hope that whoever purchased it maintains the originality and does not turn it into a hot rod or a low...

That's a really nice, unmolested, dignified 71 NYer sedan. And that price is very reasonable.

Oh look at that, I didn't notice it before but now I see it. Looks like the entire rear driver's side fender is a repaint (and surely not a good match). Why then does the description say "it's still all original"?

I'll drive a 71 C in that green color:) I love that color especially with the green vinyl roof. I remember a lot NYers, Fury's and Monacos in several shades of late 60s early 70s green and my mom called them all avocado green. It was a really popular color for cars and for kitchen appliances...

Has the 71 New Yorker been sold?

$3500 seems ok at first glance but if you read his full description the car has a mess of issues that I think might take quite a toll on a savings account. I like the car but I'd pass on it.

In my central NJ township we have a police staff of 102, 20 black n white Ford and Chevy patrol cars, 3 police emergency large truck vehicles. The patrolmen wear the Adam 12 type of dark blue uniform but I don't see them wearing caps anymore. I've never seen them wearing SWAT uniforms or...

The hope of buying back my childhood home that my parents built in 1963 is hopeless. The new owner since 1987 will not sell. Wife and I bought a house near my childhood home and we are doing some restoration but the property taxes (Central NJ) are getting out of hand. We take pride in our...

Well, in the movie The New Centurions, a veteran police officer told a rookie "don't think this badge is going to earn you respect around here (they were patrolling a crime ridden area of Los Angeles). Most of them would like to shove that badge up your a** and then brag that they did it". So I...

They obviously don't want to put in an intelligent, logical, legal effort that is required to influence changes to laws or practices that they feel are unfair. So instead they burn cities and go on shooting sprees and ***** and moan that society dealt them a bad hand. Pffffft! They must be...

Call me old fashioned but this country has changed A LOT since my childhood years in the early 1970s and much of the changes are NOT for the better. A lot of blatant disrespect exists these days and what's really alarming is that much of it is accepted as being ok! Where did it stem from? I...

Very nice. Assuming it's truly in A1, unrestored pristine condition then I'd say a fair market value is about $12,000 (using current available REASONABLE price guides) BUT I've known several guys with nice old cars who say Oh no way! to the fair price and they bump it up to some over the moon...

I've always liked model car kits. Bought quite a few of them over the decades. I don't build them anymore yet I can't resist buying a vintage unopened kit every now and then. The wife shakes her head and rolls her eyes when she walks through our den and looks at boxes and boxes of unopened model...
