Picking up a ’66 Coronet 440 sedan this weekend

 patrick66  February 22, 2024

Got a line on a complete ’66 Coronet 440 four-door this week, priced very well for a "B"-body of any kind these days. Haven’t bought a project of any kind in close to four years. I’ll fire off pics of it once it’s sitting in my driveway. T…

Retirement – what prompted you to do so?

 patrick66  February 22, 2024
I’m ready. I’ve put it off twice now, but I’ll be sleeping in sometime before the end of March. The whole corporate climate of PC silliness and WTF decision-making is too much for me these days. The Big Brother aspect is another thing that makes me ready to hit the ejection seat. I’m tired and I honestly fear the prospect of Death in a Cube (that could be a great film title!).

Ram hood ornament

Looking for the spring-loaded Dodge Ram truck hood ornament, complete with base. Must be an original Dodge part, not any of the vaguely similar copies that are of piss-poor quality that are out there. I’ve seen a few on ebay, but I’m not a fan of that venue.

Have any of you done separate vacations from your spouse? I wanna go here, but she wants to go there.

In May of last year, I cruised to Alaska with my oldest brother. My wife hates cold (defined by her as anything below 70 degrees F). So, she went …

1989-1993 New Yorkers and Imperials

 patrick66  January 29, 2024
Any of you own one? I’ve found a very nice ’93 NY not terribly far away from me. With 100K or so on the odometer, it appears to be very clean and solid, and a CARFAX shows it’s never left the area it was sold in. Second owner, currently. I’ve heard bad things about the transmissions and the dash electronics on these cars, but as far as the rest of the car goes, I find only positives. I can’t get to the car until this Friday (2 Feb), and if it’s a nice as its being presented, it’s gonna…
