General Discussion / Want Ads are NOT allowed

« on: December 22, 2016, 01:53:59 AM »

Have been seeing quite a few posts recently that are basically "Want Ads". These have NEVER been allowed, and there are no plans to change that.

If your post was removed, don't take offense. It's just one of the site rules.

Numbers matching means different things to different people. Some people think matching numbers is correct wording if the casting numbers are right. Obviously not the case.

"Original engine and transmission installed in the car at the vehicle assembly plant" is wording that doesn't leave wiggle room.

As stated in previous posts, if you want to post up pics, we can try to help.

Garage Talk / Re: Muscle Car Review-Not a Camaro

Nice write up. One of the cars that was supposed to be my first car (but didn't end up that way) was a 70 Roadrunner, 383 automatic with the Air Grabber hood. Dad brought it home on a trailer. Transmission or torque converter was bad. Sat on the trailer about a week, then someone drive up and made an offer too high to refuse. And down the road it went. Wish I knew where it is now.

I have lost some relatives and close friends lately. But I am having a much more difficult time handling this.

Such a great man who was always willing to share his knowledge. An inspiration to us all and an icon for the automotive industry and hobby.

Godspeed JohnZ.

My user name (bertfam) is actually my very first email address, bertfam@pcmagic.net (which went out of business 20 years ago), and was an acronym for my family email - Bertrand Family, or bertfam!

Ed

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle.

I knew about your username, but had no idea on you being called Bert in the past!

But for now I am still going to stick to calling you Ed.

No Bert in this thread, its Ed.  He signed his name at the bottom of the post. 

Oh, and you are NOT boring us with stories.  We like to hear about cars like this!!!

People forget there is cool down time and drive time back to the pits, etc. but I supposed it COULD be about 1000 runs - if the speedometer was hooked up.  Many cars drag cars never had them hooked up while running.  Ours never did.
