Wow that thing looks to be in awesome shape.

meathead95 · 04-25-2004, 12:34 AM

how much for the mustang?

Blue Beard · 04-25-2004, 10:36 AM

68 Suburban,

What is the car dolly you used?

If you could give me the measurement from inside fender to inside fender....

and the max width from the outside of each front tire.....

Currently building on but would like to be positive on width....and yours looks like it has plenty of room....

Great find on the panel.....didn't think there was any in that nice of shape left..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-25-2004, 12:13 PM

Nice score don't see too many of those around...

Probably the same one. Wife was wondering what you stole it for, she likes it too. Of coarse you don't have to say. It's going to make somebody very happy.

You mean you didn't hear me swearing when I pulled out of the Shell gas station and filled myself up at the FULL service island, before I saw it was $2.89 a Gallon!!!

I was wondering why the guy was washing my windows

I made him wash the panels windows too, when I found out how much I was paying :p

Yes, it is of course not perfect, but really really nice. Especially when you figure these panels were originally bought to be worked into the ground. This one was lucky

It is a Demco KK360SB. The thing is awsume. When building these, do you include brakes? I don't think I would ever tow anything with out brakes on the dolly. Actually, I think it is illegal to tow anything over 1200 lbs in most states with out brakes. That is why U-hual dumped all there tow dollies a few years ago and bought new ones.

I paid less than I am selling it for

In a previous post, I did state that I bought it off ebay, but I bought it before the auction ended and before the reserve was met. If anyone inquired about what the reserve was on that auction, that is what I paid.

pritch · 04-25-2004, 11:18 PM

Story of my life. Find exactly what I'm looking for and no money

Unless those interesting trades would include 2 f*rd FWD work trucks that were worked to death...

But keep tempting me, and I'll keep working on the wife for funding.

teeitup · 04-25-2004, 11:29 PM

Looks like a nice one Christopher!!!!!!!!!!

68 Suburban · 04-26-2004, 07:52 PM

It is now on Ebay. I figured I would see what happens before I haul it back to Chicago. I drove it 50 miles today and it ran fine.

Sold.

**CPNE** · 04-26-2004, 09:02 PM

Christopher, that grinding when shifting back onto 1st gear is normal. Normal whan shifting when rolling any way. 68 was the last year on the non-syncro'd first gear 3 speed trannys

That is exactly what it does. I guess I do know how to drive a stick after all

Thanks

Bowed · 04-27-2004, 04:10 AM

For Grinding on a non syncro ,when you stop leave it in a higher gear and then when you are ready to down shift let up the clutch just a hair in in the higher gear to slow the gears down and then bring it right back to first . Double clutching sometimes helps too.

I figured I would leave that up to the person who is buying it, if they choose to.

pritch · 04-30-2004, 09:35 PM

I bought it. I'm pretty excited. I've wanted one for so long-I can't believe it's happening

No plans for it yet, other than to park it in the garage and spend a few months deciding how to procede.
