Here's something you don't see ever day and I'm grateful for that.... The Camaro Trike. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/667969765528319/? In case the add goes down: Seller's Description Valkyrie reverse Trike 68 Camero. needs finishing. Don't ask if still available. Will remove when...

I have one of those TMI center console / arm rests. Since reworking the interior and installing new cut pile carpet, I just the console sitting in there. It of course move around all over the place when getting in and out of the car so it always looks like I just tossed it in there, because I...

I know this isn't for everyone, but when my $14 vintage looking ebay stereo died thought it was finally time to try and get navigation in the car. I don't love having a phone propped up or mounted in this car, so really wanted something permanent. On Black Friday I picked up a little 6.9"...

When I got my car a few years ago, it had a Mallory Unilite distributor and a Hyfire ignition box. It all works fine so far, but a couple things make me think about swapping it out and with black Friday sales about to start trying to see if it makes sense to do that. First, the wiring from the...

This is probably a dumb question, but do you guys have trouble with the spare tire squeaking in the trunk and if so what do you do about it? Currently have a full size spare but will be moving to something more compact and lighter. That thing squeaks around like crazy back there unless I keep a...

I've been interested in doing custom tail lights and haven't really found many out there that look interesting. Ran into these on Instagram from what appears to be someone in Tehran, Iran. From the translated comments, sounds like the outside is machined aluminum which is pretty cool, not sure...

Looking for something for another car and stumbled into this 71 at a lkq pick your part yard. It's been there for several weeks so likely picked over but tons of little parts under the hood I wouldn't mind and trim pieces etc if they are still there. Doubt I'll make it up there anytime soon, so...

This one is very local and sort of sad. In San Diego, for decades we had this guy who would drive around in a 1956 Ford Courier wagon and help people stuck on the side of the road. I'd usually see him during rush hour changing someone's tire or giving them a gallon of gas etc. Sort of a local...

I did this a couple of years ago, but someone was just asking me about it so thought I'd share what I did in case it's useful for anyone else looking to just get something in place without pulling the glass. This ain't perfection but it's so far been a decent looking headliner that nobody really...

I'm running much larger than stock brakes and my old spare won't work any longer. I'd just assume not have a full size tire in the trunk like I've been doing. Anyone know of a larger space saver style wheel / tire from some OEM that that might fit? Even at 18" it would need to be pretty flat so...

So a little background. Earlier this summer one of my high pressure lines started leaking so I parked the car to replace the high pressure hoses. This is the setup, I have Walbro pump mounted to a bracket in front of the tank, with a 100 micron filter in front of the pump and a 10 micron on the...

My car doesn't have the original canister let alone anything else emissions related and not much stock. Beyond that the vent line on top of the tank leaks so when I fill the car up, the gas will spill out of the top of the tank. The solution so far has been to avoid filling the car up all the...

OK, yes I know it's a bad idea and not planning on doing that long term. Getting new wheels and tires here in a bit and I think I'm going to hate the stance so just want to get that addressed quick and dirty until I get some new springs (or maybe coilovers?) later this winter. So was considering...

Wondering what insurance people are using that covers the car when kept parked in my driveway? I've talked to Hagerty and American Collectors and both won't cover the car if parked outside. My regular insurance will do it but it's in the thousands a year for coverage vs a couple hundred at one...

Edit - I bit the bullet on some wheels and will be trying them on soon. I'd just delete this thread, but don't see how I can do that. Thanks to those that PMd me some options. Changed the prefix to sold to try and keep anyone from wasting time looking in here. I know this is a long shot, but...

When people give me crap for my car not being stock, I can take comfort in knowing that this slightly modified 72 is out there: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/d/long-beach-1972-ford-mustang/7625368496.html Here's some pics in case the ad goes away 1972 Ford Mustang $17,000 Under...

OK hopefully that won't come off as clickbait but just thought this was funny. Got an email from CJP about their big Memorial day sale including things like AC systems that never go on sale. On a $1,700 purchase, check out that huge discount.

I'm trying to improve my brakes hopefully without replacing everything. After a recent brake job I learned that my car was converted to Granada spindles presumably as part of a drum to disc conversion back in the 80s. Is anyone aware of a larger rotors and calipers for this setup? I've not...

@jpaz 's amazing shot from here reminded me of a shot from last summer with a just bonkers sky. Crawled out from under the back of the car to see this and the pink, orange and purple was just off the charts.

EDIT - Never mind, It was the starter solenoid after all. Should have checked more thoroughly before asking. I don't see an option to delete the thread or I'd do that. Got home after a cruise, stopped a bunch of times and all was well. Stopped at several places and all was well and has been...
