Hear that? That's the sound of a very thirsty Holly carburetor! "Land Yacht"..."Party Barge"..."Pimpmobile"..."Gangsta ride"..."getaway car". They all fit. This is one *smooth* machine, Bob. Those stock rims and black wall tires absolutely complete the look. More than one major KZbin influencer has declared that these big cars are the next *big thing* on the used car market, so you are ahead of the curve, as usual. It'll sell well.
@LITTLE19942 жыл бұрын
It honestly looks nicer as a coupe. Hopefully no one turn it into the Bluesmoble, as there's hardly any stock ones left and the 1974 model year wasn't particularly made in high numbers.

These newer cars, I just can’t ride in them and if I do, I hurt so bad I want to go to the hospital when I’m done. Folks who don’t have real back issues just won’t ever understand

@@1982MCI I’m sorry to hear the shape you’re in. I had a 4 disc fusion, titanium plate and 10 screws done on my neck C4, 5, 6, and 7. C2 and 3 now needs it as well as 5 discs in my upper back between my shoulder blades which as you probably know is a high risk procedure and is done by surgical entry through the front to get to the spine. Then there are another 4 in my lower back and I was supposed to have surgery on those ones 2 years ago but it was postponed because of the pandemic. Then I ended up with an infection that won’t go away even after surgeries to remove the infection so my spinal surgery is still on hold. Plus there’s arthritis in mid to upper back. 15 out of 23 discs, so yeah I fully understand how riding in a newer car is literally a pain.

The Monaco of these years still had just enough style differentiation from the Fury to give it a more attractive - and upscale - look. Unfortunately inside there just wasn't much difference anymore. Even the seat (Chrysler's "3 in 1" bench) could be spec'd in the Fury. The GM and even Ford offerings varied more. Rarely see the 2dr hardtops - and I'm always astonished when I run across its larger sister in the New Yorker 2dr with four roll down windows - most of those seemed to have been ordered with the St Regis opera window treatment.

I own a lot of old cars, some of them being Deloreans. A lot of rear engine cars like Ferrari, are known for fires. So it is just a habit to toss a fire extinguisher in the car in case of an emergency. Especially when you are working with fuel. We replaced the fuel tank, the carb and put in an electronics ignition system, so when we were testing it out we had that in there. That one has been in there for about 5 years I think. It is always a smart idea to have one handy. I also operate large trucks, buses, RV's, etc. and when you have a lot of electrical things, you want to be safe. You never know.
