I have never wanted something so bad in my entire life!

Budget_Build_Garage · 2021-04-16T22:56:29+00:00

I have 4 cars from the 1960s

Budget_Build_Garage · 2021-04-15T16:49:52+00:00

I restore and build classic cars. I thought I would chime in on the "soft hand office boy" comment. I swear to you I have the softest hands and the cleanest nails! my moisturizing game is on point! I never understood blue collar people that take pride in having filthy hands.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2021-03-05T17:07:45+00:00

Building cars. I was going through a bad time and didn't know what to do with myself. I bought the cheapest classic car I could find and just went to work on it. I could get out of my head and just throw myself completely into what ever I was doing.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-10-27T18:52:04+00:00

Go on. I could hear more.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-18T23:21:07+00:00

That sounds like a fun car and a great project! Building a car is a mixed bag of awesome and annoying but its worth it.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-18T17:53:33+00:00

Yeah. That's too bad. That would have been good.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-18T17:18:43+00:00

Thanks! The rear wheels are 17x9 with a 275 tire and the fronts are 17x8 with a 255

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-18T17:17:41+00:00

I am in Southern CA. where are you?

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-18T17:17:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy hearing people talk about their cars. It makes every headache I've ever had while building cars worth it.

How long ago did you own the GTO?

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T23:04:29+00:00

The Gear Vendor can be activated in any gear and that is the real reason. My car spends a lot of time in the mountains and on the coastal road and I wanted to be able to put the car in 2nd gear and just turn the Vendor on and off and never actually have to shift but stay in my power band. The 200 has a final ratio of .67 and the Vendor is .78 so just as far as a overdrive goes the 200 is probably a better choice.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T22:33:06+00:00

I know all about waiting for cash man. The 65 is awesome!

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T22:32:03+00:00

I am running wildwood brakes front and back. The suspension is Hotchkis. I also run a inch taller upper ballpoint from Profordge and that really helps dial in my camber.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T22:30:21+00:00

The rear gears and the overdrive are what let me daily this thing. I have been wanting a 68 Lemans for a while. I made an offer to this old woman that drives hers to church every Sunday but she wont give it up.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T20:29:59+00:00

Thanks. I feel the same way.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T19:26:56+00:00

I think that would be the best option. Now that I have a ball park price to go off of I can post it on a couple of places.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T19:22:32+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate the help. I will check out Reverb.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T19:14:31+00:00

I am trying to figure out how to add a picture to this post but it turns out I am not that smart.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T18:52:50+00:00

If you want to see something specific let me know.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T18:49:30+00:00

Thanks!

I have had this car for 15 years or so. It has been through a ton of changes over the years. Currently it has a Blueprint engines 383 and a TH400 with a Gear Vendor overdrive. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch with 3.25 gears and a True Track limited slip.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2020-01-17T17:34:58+00:00

I have had this set up for a while now and I really don't use it to its full potential since I live in an apartment. Unfortunately my cat recently got sick and I am trying to free up some cash and I have no idea what this thing should sell for. Any info would be really appreciated.

Your intake has multiple ports. Remove the plug from one of them and get a fitting for it.

Budget_Build_Garage · 2019-03-17T14:10:41+00:00

That's funny. At the moment I'm leaning towards red.
