A : If you re local dealer wont play by the plan ..... there are plenty of them out there that will .
 dont rule out flying in to pick up vehicle and driving it home.

B : Keep on discount incentives for the vehicle you are looking at that also gets applied to discount .and can add up .

C: I do not know if this apples to X plan  but worth checking  you can also use some of these for leasing vehicles.


   

it is not bad but make sure the plastic panels are  in good shape before you start  i have had some brittle ones .

 well that is a tough repair / do you have the rest of the parts of the fiber glass ?  this would make it more  viable .


It may be  repairable but in long run  might show  the repaired areas due to location .

 My favorite is one with  a fax machine

my marti report is wrong

It was a great day !  much too short  to catch up with even half  the people there .


Still trying to figure out who let Steve Mc Donald in?

 I had a 68 convert  with factory am/fm . same set up delux lower grills for speakers/ mine also had courtesy lights. with sandard interior 

I will agree with most of the above comment......with the exception of the ethonol versis rubber parts ..... and brass fyi.

I have removed hoses from my car that externally looked fine  but were crumbling inside . and those little bits of rubber  hold open those needle and seats on  the holley carb .fyi

and those cheap correct stamped hoses are usually made from  the cheapest supplier .

I replace all hoses before any event every year .

The junction hose on the 68 between the front and rear fuel line swelled  so much in storage that the line pushed off the spring clamps and emptied the full fuel tank .

The other fun thing with  ethanol fuel s that it is conductive .

And causes galvanic corrosion  issues with fuel level floats and needle and seats .

There is a reason all new cars have stainless fuel lines and plastic fuel tanks .

I have not had any issues with old original fuel tanks ....but the cheap replacement ( non galvanised on the inside tanks.... will barely last a year . before they rust and clog the entire fuel system.

In my opinion this is why there are so many vintage car fires under the hood . those hoses between the carb are just waiting to soak that distributor cap!

These issues were seen on a private collection i maintained and cars {over 100) were from 1910> to present day  . we kept race fuel in most of them . or stored them empty for long terms.  most of cars were driven every 30 days .

who knew i was sitting on 4k worth of shift knobs
