And got caught speeding?


I did get a ticket for doing 81 in a 70, with cars passing me. I put a check in an envelope with the ticket and a letter stopping short of telling the reader to use the funds as a donation for the Ferguson fund. A month later I got a letter telling me the money will be put towards bond and I must show up to court or hire a licensed Missouri attorney or write a letter declaring my guilt . If not I will have a warrant out there for my arrest.

My response was to do nothing, absolutely nothing. One year later my money was returned with a letter, case dismissed .......

Stan.. Just a "Wise man's Input" what would you consider paying for this car? She's listing for $8500. I was thinking $6500 or $7000 ish.. Thoughts?

I'm wise enough to know that there are Fuselage experts here that should give you a ballpark. I'm a Formal guy.
Thank you for your confidence in me though. ☺

The only repairs that I did not do are repair the leaky power steering return hose, leaky valve cover gaskets and charge the A/C*. It is ready to drive anywhere { as long as you don't need A/C } And it has only been driven about 500 miles since 2003!

Sadly we must sell the old family car to settle the estate. The estate administrator has set the price on it at $8500* or an offer close to that.. That is what their appraiser came in at along with the recent $2500* in repairs.
* = Boolchit.

Can you get away with just making it look correct Scott? If so I have a Lean Burn computer and wiring harness that probably doesn't function but looks good.
Hey Chris. I told Jerry you probably would. They decided against the car, so it's all moot, but thanks.
 
OK, so Jerry and his Boils, Mark, flew to AZ and looked at the car - the original one for this post. They walked away. Jerry said he wouldn't want to give the guy $2,500 for the car - lots of paint touch up in the interior, doesn't track straight down the road, and the owner seems to know... nothing about his car. And other issues.

Jerry asked about the missing lean-burn, "Ah man, my buddy and I tossed that ****. There's a lot of stuff we just tossed...." That's not really an answer.

It is a factory 400 car. Jerry took a picture of the fender tag, thinking you guys might want to see it.

By the way, to answer an earlier question, yes, this car was in Vegas. The seller told Jerry and Mark that. He also said, "Man, it's fast! I hit 115 while bringing it here from Vegas!" Another thing that turned them off....

That was me who asked about the Vegas listing. Good to know my memory works sometimes. Thanks!
 
He won't be able to tag it and drive in California. All post 1975 cars has to pass an emission inspection and test. A lot of the smog crap including the entire Lean Burn system appears to be long gone.
 
Are you allowed to only have to meet exhaust emission levels, or does it have to be met the way it was met back to that year. In other words, you don't have the original smog pump but you're spewing out levels that meet standards?
