This is a great article... http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/secret-350279-service-one.html 21 agents all had hookers in their rooms. Trying to give an $800 a night girl $28 for her services in the hallway is not very bright. And if your excuse is"I didn't know she was a prostitute" then maybe...

Magic dyno I'm with Leo, buy the dyno that gets a warmed up 327 to make 512HP and you have a winner. Seriously, any seller that makes or believes a claim like that should make you run in the opposite direction:rofl

Leo, I found the Craig Jackson interview that you referenced. I guess he was trying to show that the auction was not just attracting old money high rollers. It's all good, apologies not necessary.:cheers "The auction boss proudly points to his events as a gateway to the hobby. Figures he's...

Not to be disrespectful, but Craig Jackson would not, could not, and never did say that any of the cars at his auction could be " bought back by their consignors". You need to check your source for that statement. I have no love, nor hate, for BJ or any of the auction houses. But complaining...

Buy backs The sellers consignment form legally restricts owners , or agents acting on behalf of their owners, from bidding on their own cars. I am not saying that it has never happened, but if it is discovered then the bidding is nullified and the last real bidder's bid becomes the high bid...

Another one... Saw this one at a show in Ontario.

If you want a new car just buy one. Don't try to turn an old car into a new one. In five years this car will look as fresh as a Pro street Pinto. And most of us will be walking past it to look at an unrestored one.

Congratulations to another member on having a feature in a national magazine. Nasty 409 has a spread on his 409 Chev pickup in the November issue of Chevrolet Enthusiast Magazine. When the current owner purchased the truck at Barrett Jackson he had no idea that our own member Marv had been...

Can anyone tell me if this is the normal position for the rear quarter windows in a 62 Bel Air sport coupe when the windows are in the fully down position? Using the shop manual and adjusting instructions this is as far down as they will go on my car. The lower stops will go lower, but the crank...

The jury is out on this one... http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/benzene.asp Interesting that older cars are a bigger problem than new ones. If anyone feels their car (preferably 1961 to 64, 409 especially) is giving off too much Benzene, I will be glad to assume any risk. Please forward...

Artist info You should start here http://www.findartinfo.com/ It is worth the cost to establish what you may have. Then contact a reputable auction house for an appraisal depending on what you find. They will share your interest in getting the most $ for your artwork. Do not take them to...

Thompson... Bill, It was a pleasure to meet and talk with you at Thompson. Especially enjoyed the story about the Hurst shifter. I keep having these dreams about having something in my ear.:rofl Best Regards, Marc and the Canadians from " Northern Ontario Salvage."

553 Cecil, Thanks for the info. That is what I was guessing by the amount of overspray that we have seen. Bernie, The 62 is back and we will be at Thompson. Marc

Trying to determine the correct color for a 553 aluminum bellhousing in a 62 409 car. Natural cast finish, engine orange or natural cast with engine orange overspray from the front fading to the back? Concourse correct as delivered appearance. Any photos would be appreciated! Thanks, Marc

Nos Thanks Jim, Not sure how many members at present. Spent a lot of years bracket racing, so I am sure that we will be making a few passes. Best Regards, Marc
