Camino LS6

A Pontiac in a plain brown wrapper.

Employee/union ownership would be a joke.

Seriously? You like that idea?

I would swap the body panels and convert my interior from blue to gray as this truck has an all-new restored interior in gray. I would then sell-off the cab and chassis. Both are rust-free.

May have found my parts truck: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2583298047.html

Dropped-off the tank and ordered a new sending unit today, the old girl should be up and running next week sometime.

I'll be revisiting this soon.

Finally got around to dropping the fuel tank in my dad's old Dodge. Per Murphey's law, it was chock full of gas and took forever to drain, but the job is done and the tank out. Along the way I discovered what was causing the car to stall and not restart. Although we suspected that crud in the tank ws causing the problem, the actual cause was a bit of a surprise. Yes, there was a fair amount of sediment in the gas - but the real problem became obvious as I poured the last of the fuel from the tank. An approximately 2"inch square chunk of an old leaf flowed out of the filler neck as I tipped it up! That'll stop the fuel delivery in a hurry. So next will be having the tank cleaned and sealed and (hopefully) replacing the sending unit so that the fuel guage will work properly. The tank itself is in very good condition overall - pretty amazing after more than seven decades of service. These repairs, an oil change, and a new battery then it will be time to write up an ad and get this old car sold.

This time Arkus got a raccoon. Thanks for starting my day off with a bang, dog.

Good-lookin' truck!

The bottom line for me on this is that with Lutz (and Ruess) around, there is hope that future GM cars will not be composed entirely of boredom.

[quote name='Oldsmoboi' timestamp='1315168581' You know what would be just HE-LAR-E-US!? If Maserati dropped the Ferrari engine from the Quattroporte in favor of the 6.3 Hemi from the 300C-SRT8. It would be an upgrade in both power (+25hp and +100 lb-ft) and fuel economy, but it would also be less expensive for them to repair under warranty when it breaks down. It would also make parent company Fiat happy to be getting more ROI out of the 6.3. Beat me to it, Olds. As Ocn said, the pushrod engine is clearly superior by any meaningful metric.

Umm guys, this is not the place for a serious discussion of the second amendment. It's just a funny story. Might be a good idea to take any serious thoughts on the topic to the politics forum.

Suddenly I have reason to watch for Fisker news.

Well, then that must be the "new car" bay.

I bet the Firebird would be right at home in that bay too.

Chrysler had a serious case of Monte Carlo envy when they created the Cordoba.

You've mentioned the empty bay a time or two, and I filed that info away for future reference.

You ought to stash this in one of your empty bays: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2579196430.html

Midsize GM RWD of various vintages and bodystyles. That's the core for me.

Glad to see you back, and unscathed.

All that effort for such a crappy result...

Valid point. I've been asking myself questions like that lately. Maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to find some answers.

Planning to drive the current neighbors away with the exhaust note?
