I think you will find all the rear ends you are looking at are 8" units. The Comet and Fairlane for sure. The Comet would likely be the narrowest and it is the same as was used in the Maverick (basically the same car with different taillights and gills/hoods). About the only narrower rear...

The Pin Striping on my Truck is also kind of typical of what the Warlocks had.

".... Whats a warlock?....." The Warlocks, True Spirits and even the later Lil Red Express Trucks were factory custom trucks. In addition to the pinstripping and decals a loophole in the emissions laws allowed them to run on regular gas as they didn't require catalitic convertors. The...

I spent the weekend working on my on again off again 64 Ford Custom project. The engine in it was originally intended for a 63 T Bird I used to own. It's an early 352 bored .110 with a 390 crank and rods, 9:1 compression pistons, 63 T Bird Tri-Power Intake (adapted to some Rochesters built)...

Around 71 I was working in a body shop in St Louis (doing the mechanical stuff....frame straightening, alignments, wiring etc). We got a pretty fair amount of theft recovery vehicles......I really learned to appreciate a professional theif ......they didn't hack a vehicle up near as bad as...

Should be able to find some background here http://www.buriedcar.com/ Clicking on the Tulsarama incon. By the way, I'm currently kicking back in Illinois for a few days, and will start back the end of this week.

I saw the car today. Anything can be restored, but in this case I'm afraid all that would be left would the stainless, set of glass (with the exception of the vent window Boyd's crew broke getting into the car) and the stainless steel VIN tag. As I walked around the car, the driver door is...

The really nice thing to see is the majority of cars have been DRIVEN here (I suspect for some of them it's the first time they have seen rain in years). Here's some pitures of the buried car being backed into the convention center so it can be preped prior to tonight. There are some...

Well got back from the "unearthing" (had to watch on Closed Circut TV)and watching the car arive in the convention center. Been having a ball here. Boyd sure didn't look happy his coment "looks pretty bad".:D Anyway here are a few picts some might find interesting. First is my 57 that I...

Hi guys, we are here in the middle of it (got in this afternoon). We drove the 57 Plymouth here from AZ.....what a road trip. Were staying at a hotel a couple of blocks from the site and the parking lot looks like a car show. As far as watching it here are a couple of sites I came across...

".....this is the wrong place to ask for mental health help, it's like walking into an AA meeting with a cold six-pack and saying "someone want to talk me outta drinking these?"......" :eek: :rolleyes: BEER???? :D:D I got back from Korea in early 74......the world had sure changed in the...

Well as long as we're confessing at one point I had 5 Mustang IIs stuffed around here......but I'm much better now (I'm down to 2) :D

".....Well, as someone who owned 5 Corvairs at one time......" :eek: Say it ain't so Don !!!!! "...They are bill of sale only, hes had them for years and was saving them for a hot rod project but never got around to it. both cars have some rust but are complete and were parked about 4...

Yeah here in AZ a VIN verification by the State cops is required on any out of state title transfers (and at least a couple of years ago they were not accepting recenty issued Alabama titles from Broadway title). I think the bigest PIA one I had lately was my 37 Dodge. When I got it it came...

WOW Very neat. Looking forward to see what comes next.

Thanks for the nice comments. One of the regrets I have is that I didin't take more/better pictures of the projects I no longer have. There were a few cars I was really fond of that I have no pictures of at all. (a 63 Chevy II convertible and 62 Falcon Futura 2dr HT come to mind. "....What...

I've bounced around all over the country over the years and bought and sold cars in several states. The issue of who holds the title owns the car is pretty cut an dried. One other point is when you get a title actually make sure it is correct. I've run into this more han once over the years...

".....The only recourse that I could see for the poor jerk that got the shaft there would be a lawsuit for the rebuild expenses........" He wouldn't have a leg to stand on. In the eyes of the law he didn't own the car and technically could even have been charged possesion of stolen...

I'll admit I've taken a chance on buying a few cars without paper on them over the years, and been lucky getting the paper later. But I always got it titled prior to starting the project. Just too much time and money invested in a project to take a chance..... better to lose tha car BEFORE...

I can remember every car my folks had when I was growing up. THe first car that made an impression on me however was when I was around 10 in 1962. We had had gone to the the river to see the 4th of July fireworks....as we were walking to the car to go home on of the cars pulling out of the...
