I’m getting less than 25 with a low-po VW. Needs some carb love, I’m sure. Should be around 28-30 then. The guys claiming 40 mpg are rare, but they claim it so much that a Googler might think it’s typical mileage.The Chevette with a stick ought to do a little better than you’re reporting, I’d guess. The original car was rated at a combined 27,…[Read more]

Welcome, Dan.There are some TDs for sale here and there. I love the prices on these cars, as compared to the originals–or the Speedsters, Cobras, etc.The fun-per-$ ratio is off the charts.

Welcome aboard Dan!

Yah ed&ringo. I have that same problem with batteries in my dodge dully. Two big batteries going out at the same time. They usely last 3to 4 years. Smitty .

I wish I could help here.  My front engine Chevy 283 V8 is bored out, so gas mileage is probably not the greatest.  My gas gauge stays on Full for about 7/8 of the tank full life, then drops like a lead weight to the empty zone.  Plus, my odometer is not working, so I have no clue.

How many miles was that in each direction?  A three-day trip sounds fun.  I don’t know if my girlfriend would be up for the wind battering for that long.  I say that’s time for the leather helmet and goggles.  Silk scarf optional.

Thank, Paul.  You’ll be oplease with her work.  She has a professional heavy duty machine that produces professional quality work.  I think her prices are very reasonable.

To see the full product line, go to the web site, not her ebay ads.

Hey Mark

Smitty, welcome aboard!

Does wishing I lived there count?

I wasn’t planning to head up a group order.  When we chatted last time, a few months ago, she was going to offer the discount to anyone who identifed themselves as a club member.   Her last question to me when I  asked if she was still offering the discount was to ask how many shirts she would be looking at.  I really don’t have the time to devo…[Read more]

Very nice, Scott. Love the engine turn insert. Some guys go with the whole dash and I think it’s a bit too much. You got taste.And Ray! Kudos on that Corvair. That looks like it was painted by a pro.Neighbors of mine Rustoleum’d their ’65 Nova wagon when I was a kid. Family affair; the kids helped. It was a brush job and looked it. Kind of a cool…[Read more]
