When I was in high school in 19(cough cough) everyone had a mustang or a camaro. So I opted for something different - a 1970 AMC Javelin. It was bright orange with a Starsky and Hutch stripe. Mild lift cam, high rise manifold, rochester quadra-jet, headers, and a custom tuck and roll interior. All of those items and the year of the car should tell you I am an old man - but it got a lot of looks back then because it was very different from everything else out there. Sold it to buy a motorcycle - go figure

Yo Corsair,AMC'S where kool back then,my Grandparents had two of them!
I myself was into the pacer
Always wanted to see what would happen if you put some horse power under the hood of one of them. Then slam some 10" wrinkle walls on er & dump the clutch at 3000 rpms.I'de bet every piece of glass would blow
out out of it!
Anyhow,sorry to here you have to live with that childhood memory!
Look at the bright side!At least it wasn't a beetle!

my first car was a beetle
picture this
when it was given to me, it was still in the original paint
factory paint was "PINK"!!!!!!!!!!!!
i refused to drive it as is
called a tow truck and had it hauled to the VW shop
stock 1600 dual port was dropped out in favor of a custom built race engine
once the engine was done and shoehorned in(was alot bigger than the original)
i had it towed to a body shop
repainted it tu-toned black and red
THEN i drove it home
man it was fast
installed race tires and talk about traction for an econo car
it was a fun lil car and got alot of attention including the cops that enjoyed seeing the front wheels lift at the traffic lights
if i had money to burn, i would build up another one exactly like my first one

[ihbuilder]

aw no herbie paint scheme

[derailed]

nope
i built it to race
lol

" can also shift it manually with the paddles on the wheel. "

OK maybe I've been in my cave to long or gettin up there in age what the heck is shift paddles on the steering wheel ? 2nd time I heard of that only shifting I know of , 1 foot on the clutch and 1 on the gas 1 hand on the wheel the other jammin gears

[FreddyGearDrive]

Derailed,i didn't mean I didn't like bugs,Just don't like them on the road.
I had quit a few of them.Just used them in a better style.All's you need is a set of tourches,chop saw,arc welder,some 2'black pipe,& some angle steel.It's also better if you have a good hydraulic bender, didn't have one,so I cut the pipe on 45.
Had one I shorted 14",Now that mother was fun!
I was always amazed at how much power you could get out of that little 4 banger.
Derailed if you get another one,I here Spudds shop will replace the water pump at a good price!
Don't forgit,it's the only shop I know of that offers this service!

Might want to bring your own parts!It takes awhile for his deliveries.The parts stores couldn't afford the fuel back & forth.So he can only get a delivery once a week,takes some time when they are delivered via a mule.

O Boy this is a good one, (DIESEL tune up SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, CAP & ROTOR) now that's a good one and only $295. Now let see a diesel has glow plugs no spark plugs, wires, cap or rotor there is something wrong here. Ed

[spudd]

what the frickity frack did i do to deserve this?????????????????
yes i do offer this service but only as a spring special and every year i get Freddy to bring in his bug for the water pump change.
mazdaparts is getting the spring tune up price and after tuesday its over.the parts prices have gone through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!! not only that my timeinglight burnt out a light bulb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ands the mule only runs on Thursday now cuzz of the gas prices.

sorry to all who wanted to take advantage of the spring prices but its out of my hands

[JAMMER]

To all the Chevy lovers the new SLP Camaro has blown 427 small block 750 HP and turns 11.80 with street tires and with slicks it will run in the 10's not bad for a car you can buy from a dealer and run these numbers. Now got 100,000.00 + dollars? Ed

[spudd]

and thanks for the free advertising............didn't even have to pay the vendors fee
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i used to play a joke on all the gas stations when i had my bug
i'd pull in at the full serve
guy would run up and ask"filler up?"
i'd say sure
he goes to the pump grabs the nozzle and look for the door at my rear quarter panel
he would get confused and look on the other side thinking i was on the wrong side
i'd point out its in the front quarter
he starts pumping gas then asks to check the oil
i simply say sure
it took me everything not to laugh
he goes to the front and tries to open the front
points and says"locked"
i hit the release and he opens the lid
after a few seconds, the deck lowers and he looks confused
comes around to the drivers door with an odd look
looks at me,asking"there's no engine"
i look at him with a confused look" there's no engine?"
seriously looking at me" no engine, but your spare tire is there where the engine should be"
i just look at him with a puzzled look
look at the odometer a sec
then i reply" oh that's ok, there's a spare in the back"
the look on the attendants face is priceless!
lol
