THE CZickness L....Celebrating 50 threads with CZs, gunsmoke and serious discussion....

Getting my windows tinted on the VW on Tuesday. I have a choice between carbon film or ceramic film. Does anybody have any experience or opinions on the two? All I know is the ceramic is more money but may provide better cooling.

A little 427 tri-power muscle?

With a stinger hood?

Or do you prefer 389 tri-power with a 3-speed on the floor?

Or go fast small with a Boss 302

Bet you like a 5.0 L Coyote.

I love that first Corvette. The C3 is not my type of Corvette, it would be the last on my list of Corevettes to own. I also love that Boss 302. I do love the Mustangs. The 1964.4 - 1973 Mustangs I love, after that is S197 followed by the S550.
Those Jags are nice as well.

My infatuations with cars are mostly over. They all break eventually. Or rust away.
Still a soft spot for a 78 FJ Toyota Land Cruiser . And there is a little love left for a 928 Porsche. I've seen 2 968s this past week and it got me thinking about the 928 again.

I don’t have any advice but I’m curious what you find out, what you choose and what your experience is with the company you picked.

When I get the Firebird done I’ll have to get the windows re-tinted. But that won’t be anytime soon.

Did not see any FJs but we only saw about a quarter of what was there and the auction has already been going on since the 12th.

Here is a parking lot of auction cars and we never made it into the tent full of cars.



Saw a Porsche GT3!

How about a nice chevy pickup

Or would you prefer a Ford

Or a nice old Bronco

What do you like about the ‘78 over other years?
I know 74 and later were disc brakes up front and rear door updates.

Air Gun?

Got it. Off to Gunbroker….

Side note- if you get an air rifle, and don’t like the krapy 4x scope they throw in. Make sure your new scope can handle air rifles. Something about the forward and backwards “recoil” air rifles cause to scope glass. A lot of high end scopes will shatter from the mighty .177 lead pellet.

 

[Lee11b]

$2100?!?!
Never mind, I’m bringing my 30 year old Red Ryder…

Be careful Cookie!!! You could put someone’s eye out!!!!

News browsed.

Cars drooled over.

Coffee consumed.

Nothing left but to head to the office.

Morning everyone.

I'm into the first cup of coffee and there are 4 more waiting in the wings. After that, I'll consider heading to the den to begin the day.

On mine, it’s the sprung thingy moving forward that would eat a normal scope.
Somehow that transfers into a decent amount of felt recoil too.
I don’t know much about what I have, bought it used from a friend and been afraid to go into the air rifle threads, like I need another rabbit hole.
I was just shocked at the weird forces involved the first time I shot it.

I’ll take the ‘64 GTO, please. And thank you!

I like a 928. The “American” Porsche. Having done very little work on one, no thanks. When I make my first million, ha, I’d love an old ‘60’s 911.

Just like the sound of it and those funky headlights. If I'd been able to borrow $10,000 as a new E2 at the presidio of Monterey in 1986, I'd have owned one and been on the autobahn a year later with it.

Closest I will ever get to that kind of experience is my Uncle bought a new M-B 450sl, took delivery in Germany and toured Europe with it before shipping it stateside.

That was 1978.....

 

[ditcherman]

‘78 was a good year, I always say

 

[mcapo]

Ahh...no replacement for displacement!

Had various 427 combinations.....what a motor, what a sound.

I don't imagine we will be posting pics of electric motors 50 years from now and reminiscing about them...

Morning all...
