KSU vs OSU

Anybody watchin Barrett-Jackson car auctions? Economy must be pretty good for some people with what they paying for these cars. Makes you wish you still had those cars you had back in the 50’s, 60’s.

@brooksmd low calorie?

@JayHawkFanToo That young lady that puts the “sold” stickers on the windshield has nice genes, er jeans. Oh what the heck, nice a…

@Crimsonorblue22 yup

Crimsonorblue22

@brooksmd didn’t think there were any calories

@Crimsonorblue22 Actually it says Zero Calorie and it does have some SueBee Orange honey in it.

Crimsonorblue22

@brooksmd might have to try it

@brooksmd why cant I grasp that? Honey with NO calories?

@brooksmd Mine has, well, a few …

Nice 54 ford crestliner convertible. Would that be nice for Saturday nite trip to local drive-in?

@globaljaybird Label says contains small amount of honey. Not for diabetics.

@brooksmd Were those the old 2ba carbs that were bad abt vapor lockin? Or were those a couple years later on the V8s? I pushed a couple that got too hot when was a kid but maybe they were 56 or later…that 54 may have been flathead ??

@brooksmd yeah, recently had to add that to my list of reasons to rebel … as if I needed another.

@globaljaybird I couldn’t tell you abt the carbs. I had a 56 Ford that somebody had stuffed a big Buick in. That thing was exciting.

@globaljaybird One of the guys I shoot clays with on Wed mornings is at B-J. He’s primarily lookin for a 66-67 Goat. Said it’s time to relive his youth.

@brooksmd Sadly there are many of those older Chevy, Ford & Dodge trucks that are restored with a large content of foreign aftermarket parts & metal, courtesy of companies like LMC Trucks. Inc. I was an inspector for them for about 2weeks in the years since I retired from GM. Lets just say they didn’t really admonish my expectations of higher quality control protocol. Pretty much all I saw there for 2 solid weeks was junk that.I wouldn’t have let off the boat. I could not in good conscience participate in such discredit to an American manufacturing heritage. It is not difficult for a trained eye to spot counterfeit auto parts through fit & finish. I say it’s not difficult, but it really is a journeyman skill that takes some years to cultivate properly,

@brooksmd I had a white 67 400 GTO w/slotted MT Astros & Hurst turbo hydramatic spit shift trans. Had blue vinyl buckets. Real walnut dash & console, & a Craig AM/FM stereo/8 track with reverb. Friend & I junked out the quadrajet for a 800 dual pump Holley, & took milled 389 heads & bolted them right on. Seems to me the rods were alittle long so we had to change them also, but the head gasket set was the same if I recall. Hows that for brain function when I can hardly remember what I had for lunch yesterday ?

@globaljaybird Pretty darn good for an old fart.

@brooksmd That Goat was a chick magnet if there ever was one. My bud that shared the apt had a maroon 66 GTO 389 with 3 deuces AND a 63 red Corvette Conv. w/327 short block w/750 Holley. No wives & no house payments & shit-we had it all…until junior came along …

@brooksmd Well GN Dad, catchya on da rebound if I don’t get dunked… keep the sunny side up.
