My "cheap" 64 R2 Avanti arrived last night and a quick look on the
trailer showed good hog troughs and frame. There was even a little oil

that the PO had filled the troughs with oil when he stored it in 1990.

Just wanted you all to know that I visit every night.  I'll try to post
something brilliant so you all stay interested.
Need to know who is the best and most reasonable carb rebuilder.

My Packard Hawk had the holes of the outside rearview mirrors filled and
painted over.  I've purchased a pair of AC-3310s (I know they're not

Just in time for the boss lady's birthday tomorrow, last night I bought a
nice little 58 Silver Hawk from a friend here who is in declining health and

it down for him a few years ago. He had it painted the ...

Bought a used 64 convertible toot for my 64.  I isn't even close to
snapping.  Was told by seller (who is very nice and willing to work
with me) that it needs to sit in the sun.  I tried that, but this
thing will have to sit in melting sun, I guess.  Almost 3/4 inch from

Can anyone tell me how many vanes are in a Avanti water pump? Or what is the
main difference between a regular 289 pump and one for a Avanti? I always

Polara with disc brakes. I used a speedi-bleed power bleeder to bleed the
now silicone brake fluid throughout the system and got good flow to all
bleeder screws. I do not seem to get any pressure out of the ...

Can the 63 dash pad from Stude International be mounted on the bare
dashboard frame or does it need some existing padding to attach to?  I
want to get one, but there's nothing left of the old padding on my
dash.  It was so bad I had to completely strip it off the dash frame
