Gotta make time for family whenever the opportunity allows. Time moves too quickly.

That’s where I’m a Viking!9

Jamie got anything for your gray hair?

Michael Jackson was rumored to utter the same line on occasion.

And Tesla aptly named their album on which this song appears “Five Man Acoustical Jam”. Not a bad remake in my humble opinion.

Welcome, Wilbur. Lotsa good people here with a bunch of knowledge.

When I picked up my ‘70, I was encouraged to continue using what the previous owners mechanic suggested after he replaced the cam, lifters and rockers: Kendall high zinc. When I bought the ‘71 from Mr. Lyman, I followed his lead with Mobil 1 synthetic and the Eastwood ZDDP oil additive. And I’ve always followed the manufacture’s “mandate” of Mobil 1 synthetic for the ZR-1. Moving forward, I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and instead dump imported olive oil into all three crankcases. It was on sale at Sam’s Club, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. I’ll report back with my findings.

Welcome! * * stay away from Joe and Dennis

Hey Keith, regarding paperwork that you seek… there won’t be a Build Sheet as it’s a Flint-built car. It just sucks that the seller doesn’t have anything else to substantiate it’s authenticity. My gut says run away from this one.

Looks great.

Absolutely.. . I come from a place that takes 🎾🎾busting to a whole ‘nother level. But always in good fun regardless of how dark or politically incorrect it may seem to some. Which is why Joe, Dennis and I have a secret safe word for when skin gets too thin. Dennis always yells out “there”, but all I ever hear is “their”. Not sure why he picked that word. Weird how that works. 🤔

Wow. Both complementary and insulting in the same breath. I guess I’ll take it… after all, a partial win ain’t a total loss. 😂🤣

I believe we’ve been over this before. Words sometimes hurt more than fists, Broseph. Thanks, Rob. The psychological ramifications of bullying obviously mean nothing to someone without a soul. “Ya”. That’s all you got? Geez, dude, I woulda thought you’d dust off your A Game at such a pivotal crossroads. And there ⬆️ it is. Trying to minimize, deflect and assign blame to others. Classic psychopath tactic. Looks like I just added some soul searching and inward reflection to my “To Do” list. Tonight, my heart hurts. 🥺

The fourth sound was a little more annoying,Karen telling me I’m stinking up the house. Yeah, I had a similar sound with similar complaint. “Don’t sit on that couch with those smelly clothes”. As if the funk deposited by the Labrador after taking it over years ago doesn’t exist. 🙄

Appreciate the thought, Steve. However, Mr. Lyman was kind enough to send a couple along as he had extras from when he owned the car. One calendar is from ‘08 and one is from ‘11, and they used the same pic in both. I also obtained the book it was featured in, with Bob sending me another copy of that as well. Took her for a short blast to get everything hot and circulating, came back and made a margarita… and then I ran outta steam. The ‘70 will have to wait a day or so.

Weather looks like upper 60s to lower 70s all week. Just finished brunch and cocktails with the in-laws and figured now is as good a time as any to get at least one of them out of hibernation. If I don’t unwrap the ‘70 today, it will definitely be within the next day or two. IMG_4029.MOV

Welcome! I can only imagine how hard it has to be to get parts. Good luck and keep pix of your progress coming.

Ok, since no one else asked… where in the car did you find it?

This counts, right? Right…..?

An elusive chap. Perhaps even more so than that “George” guy from the greater Chicagoland area with the Shadow Gray ‘70 🤔

Nice car indeed, even with the ‘70 interior.

Late to this thread… best wishes, Rob… I hope the device works as intended.

Very nice! The Protect-O-Plate is a nice thing to have. When you have time, pop the back seat and check for a Build Sheet. If no luck, there’s other places to look to hunt down your girls “birth certificate”. It appears to be a Leeds built car, so the chances are pretty good there’s at least one somewhere inside of her. Happy hunting and keep us posted.

At this price I’m confident the buyer was of the educated variety, did his due diligence and knew it wasn’t a legit / complete SS.

Here, I fixed it for ya…
