[Skools Out]

Oh my did you see Carols personal Cobra sale for $5,000,000 all time record.

[Airslot]

Man, I saw that it was on but was watching a movie w/ family. Carol's sold for 5 mil? Holy moly. I was looking a 67 fastback two nights ago. It was perfect and they wanted 30k. Only reason I was looking it over pretty good is it was just like my first car.

[lumberslinger178]

[Skools Out]

Carol no longer owned the car it was President's of Ford car.

[throwback]

Anyone interested in older cars? Have a 46 ford deluxe coupe. Was manufactured early aug 1945 ford started building cars in july 45 prior to VJ day. We believe it may be the oldest post war ford in existance. Car has a little over 40,000 miles. Runs decent nice interior saving up for 1st class paint job. I am the 4th owner the car was in storage since 89. Even have the 46 registration card.

[Airslot]

WOw Throwback, I think you got a keeper there. Or at least a nice retirement plan. ;D I've been a car guy all my life, but not "old". My first wheels were a 67' mustang fastback. I've had three mustangs over the years and a 69' Camaro Z-28. I had a 68' fastback that was the fastest car on the shore back in the 80's.

i want a 1966 Chevelle SS L78 Conv. M22 car. not asking for much you know lol. oh and Marina Blue with Blk top and Int. plus factory A/C console car.

[Skools Out]

i guess i could sell my 1992 Corvette Conv., 51 Packard 200 Deluxe, and 54 Chevy Truck StreetRod to buy me one.


for all you non muscle car knowers the L78 was a 396/375 motor package
M22 was the stronger 4 speed manual trans.

[Airslot]

Skools, you don't ask fo rmuch. What'd they make, maybe 75 cars, or less, as you described it color and all. ::)

LOL

Airslot

[Skools Out]

3056 with that motor option and 312 in that color but in conv. maybe 45 to 50 lol

[reelapeelin]

I was watchin' Bar-Jac one nite when they sold a Malibu close to what yer talkin' about for like 1.2 mil :o ...the car had some history...


...just before that they sold a Dodge Dart for $600,000 ::) ...

[lumberslinger178]

my first car was a 1966 chevy nova ,,, paid 50 bucks for ive seen them go across barret for a couple hundred thousand..... wish i still owned it.

when i first got it i found a 1964silver quarter under the mat and I still have it to this day

[C YENSEN]

I got a 67 Mustang Coupe, 3 speed automatic, with a 289. ;D

[Airslot]

CY, I knew there was something about you that I liked ;)

[C YENSEN]

thanks man, she isn't perfect, but not bad. all the body work has been done, but the motor needs rebuilt and she needs a set of wheels and tires. she runs great, just not enough power for me. i will look for some pics, to attach when i am home for lunch.

[throwback]

It must be January car talk no boat or fish talk o well got to do something about the boredom or just move south like the birds. I was so desperate over the weekend worked on the model railroad. To early to start on fish stuff but do have the stuff to make a few shark rigs Hum. Anybody watching 24 on monday night?

[Airslot]

Throwback, its cold today, but there is plenty of boatstuff to be done. I'll be swapping out brakes a little at a time this week trying to get ready to roll for the next laydown off the beach. Pleny of rock to catch still and the boys whooped on the top a few days ago. Terrible winter up north though, buddies can't ride snowmobiles or ice fish.

Airslot

[Skools Out]

yeahplenty of boats to fix but yeah i still make time for 24 and the model railroads. i like my HO and the out door garden railroad the most.

[parishht]

Skools, did you ever notice that when you go into
antque shops and go to flea markets with the women folk,
there are rarely ever any HO trains for us guys!?

[throwback]

Airslot

My v20 is over at kevens. Shift cable stuff old IO pain in the a**. Have a merc black max 200 and have thought about hanging it on a bracket but kind of nostalgic about old things. Also brackets are big $$$. HO trains real men- ok little boys -mascurading as men play with lionel and o guage. To cold to play with boats up here in Pa. I thought about keeping the insurance on the trophy over the winter to rock fish but just to expensive for a few trips. Besides the old ford needs a exhaust system and my buddies garage is warm

[C YENSEN]

i built a hell of a Lionel train layout in my garage this winter for christmas.

maybe we should start a model railroad section here. looks like a few guys dabble in trains. 8)

[Skools Out]

i think Hobby Section would be great so the guys could post collector car project's maybe gun stuff train stuff tractor stuff the anything we do as a hobby even like art work who knows.


I like the Ho for inside due to looks the most realistic but enjoy my outdoor G Scale set the most.

[C YENSEN]

i would love to see some pics Skools ;D

[phester]

hey CY, if you would enlarge and lengthen the "playtime" on your avatar I think I would have a new hobby :o

[dmoore]

Hey Slot.......ever here tell of the 1970 vitamin C Roadrunner 383 magnum down here in Northampton Co?

[reelapeelin]

Yeah...24 rocks!!...and for another good one, check out The Unit...Tues 9 pm CBS...President Moron pre-empted w' his babblig Tues nite >:( ...

[C YENSEN]

I know phester I would love to see where else it goes if it were to continue. ;D

Ultimately w/ children and 2nd mortgage :o ...

[C YENSEN]

[Airslot]

DMoore, not that I can recall. There were only a few plymouth guys around back then (Mid eighties), and henstly, growing up in Salisbury we never traveled south.

[throwback]

Whats nice about HO is you can do some much more with in in the way of building a RR. What I don't like about it is no real antimated accessories. Quess its the kid in me. Been collecting lionel since I was a kid off and on. Whats interesting the price of vintage lionel stuff especially post war lionel has dropped 15 to 20 % over the past year or so. Maybe us old guys are dropping off
not much nostalagic value to a 30 year old.
A hobby board is not a bad idea. Cold as h*** here in central Pa wind chill about 20 below tonight THINK SPRING
