Hey everyone, once again thank you so much for your feedback on what to look for in getting a car.  Based on that feedback I stumbled on a black convertible on ebay from Brooklyn New York.  I have talked to the seller a couple of times now and the car has a solid history and his description of how the car drives and what updates have been done have me interested enough to plan a trip to NYC to look at and drive the car.  Here is the link to the listing, https://www.ebay.com/itm/402856472503?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...  

If it checks out we have agreed on a price of $20K even though the Ebay price says $23K.  I guess he liked my description of my GM past and what I plan to do with the car.  The red wire in the engine bay is a bypass for the HVAC system.  (I'm a control system engineer- I can fix that).  The listing has a link to something called uShip.  Does anyone have any experience with that company and or any suggestions for shipping a car from New York to Michigan?

Tony and Ginny,  I have not found the post that you are referring to.  I am still learning to navigate this site so I am probably looking in the wrong spot.  

Hi Patrick, just curious about what happened with this car. My "Hagerty News" email has a useful article that reminded me of your quest:

Which Shocks for my 64 SDV are MOST like Originals?

I am considering replacing the shocks in my 64 SDV. They're not terrible, but are a little too wishy-washy. I want to replace them with shocks that most closely approximate the original damping rate…Continue

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
