VERY nice  8)

seems like winning those 2 championships in the 70s would get more mention?  :o - very impressive with a car that might have been called "obsolete" (8 years old)

Closing the loop - car is SOLD (by Gateway Classic Cars) and is with its new owner somewhere.
Thanks for the positive feedback and stories.

note to Dan(Grumpy) - the TTA is staying right here.

Very sorry to hear this.
I remember Van "thinning the herd" a while ago when he got that diagnosis :'(
While I never met him in person, I felt that I knew him a bit from all of the [positive] interactions and posts on here... we had a few things in common.
He was certainly one of the good guys.
Godspeed.

Ugh. sorry to see this... hope that you can get everything squared away without too much extra angst.


... and hopefully the idiot offender/driver will get caught

always a good time, and "Shelby" events there have tended to have a great turnout  8)

I just started getting the magazine... you spotted some of the articles that I've enjoyed as well.
I thought that article "comparing" the Muira and the GT500 was a neat concept and pretty well done.

(it sort of echoed one of my thoughts regarding 1970... at the Simeone Museum they have both the 917 Long Tail and a [street] Superbird... both were 200 mph race cars [from the same year], yet VERY different execution)

Quote from: 98SVT - was 06GT on November 11, 2024, 03:46:33 PMWe still had greatness in our generation. It's unfortunate it was not recognized at the time.
Hopefully it gets published.


^^^ exactly, and + another 1 on hopefulness.
Some of the comments on the video were disgusting... sounded like the same old crap that those guys came home to  :'(  (where's the angry face emoji when you need it?)

Congratulations!

The Tour on 10/12 was a great day - beautiful weather, a great crowd (people and cars), and a really fun run thru some PA backroads  8) , including the "Pennsylvania Tail of the Dragon"  :D There was a 50-car limit - which included plenty of Stripes & some loud Pipes - and Dan had indicated it was full.
Here are a couple of photos. The roadside shots were taken by Dan R, taken from the LVSAAC facebook page.
The group at the lunch stop:



A few of Dan's pix from the side of the road, just a few miles after we left Cabela's:

caption for that one:
"Two Pony Cars - packing just shy of 1,000 "horses" - pass by two horses on the other side of the fence"




I'm already looking forward to next year.

Hopefully the real info was not too hard to figure out

Hmmm... I wonder if this will be like asking about the best oil or other "opinion" type subjects?  ???  ::)

There is no NON-ethanol fuel available in NJ near me. (sorry)
I've heard of a lot of people using Stabil.
Star-Tron says that it takes care of stabilizing and phase separation. I used that for quite a few years.
About 3 years ago I tried a little internet research and have since started using "Biobor EB" (from their website = Biobor EB is a specifically formulated additive for gasoline and ethanol fuel blends that helps combat the negative effects of ethanol in fuel tanks...)

It's not "scientific", but I've had no issues with any cars (so far), the tanks and carbs look good.

Good luck, and I'll also be interested to see what others have to say.

That looked like a good suggestion. Done.
