    ZDDP is it in your oil ?

    David, thanks for the read! This came up in aviation circles about a year ago. A mechanic friend of mine then filled a small warehouse w/ cases of the older oils. In knowing that's only "temporary", perhaps we should keep this thread alive and document any ruined motors within the group...

    Good deal in Indiana! $7,300 CS G code

    ...Steve could be right. Very evasive and vague ad. Even the feedback (4 in all) looks suspicious like he wrote it himself - same spelling & phrasing errors IMO. He has a '67 w/ a '68 front clip listed in the same mannor...

    Jason, Thanks for the info! I bought mine at the local auto parts (a year ago) & had to remove the radiator to replace it. I'll now go back to NOS :-) P.S. Rob - good to see you again! Would you be willing to PM me your phone #? I have a 390 scenario & questions to ask you if that would be...

    Which to choose: 1968 GT/CS or HCS?

    Bob, I received a very nice package from Pete containing the title, keys, original HCS ads and lots of other cool stuff! The car is still about a week or two out for arrival, but when she arrives - you'll be the first to know! I feel very privileged and honored!...

    ...Indeed Ron; photos do not do justice to Nate's car! My first impression when he and Pat arrived on Friday was... "NO WAY! - THIS SHOW IS CANCELED!! I AM NOT PARKING MINE NEXT TO YOURS!!! " ;-)) His attention to detail, pride in his work and nobility in sharing with all who came by was...
