The 289. It's definitely a unique rig!
I'm confused, why the quotes? Lol
Me too! They're pretty great.
It's a fantastic bike, I really love it. I just wish it had a 6th gear
Well it's not for sale! Lol. I'd sell the Harley tho lol
I wouldn't recommend it lol.
Working on it. I was stationed on Hawaii until like a week ago so it made it real hard to register this
Not a one. Even had some cops follow me for a bit but none of them ever bit lmao
Hahahaha I got a screaming deal on this thing.
Nah, I'm not doing that. I'm just gonna change the brakes to power and daily it the way it sits
No. I just road dirty and had all my paper work on it, title and insurance and PCS orders, just lined up if I got stopped
New power brakes and a new transmission or rear end gears to make it more drivable, then daily it..... Forever-ish
Else I've ever driven lmao
Hahahahaha yes. Except the previous owner converted it to Bilstein coil and struts, as well as a reinforced sway bar. It drives like nothing
I had it shipped to a buddies house, the he got me from the airport and away I went on my journey
Vehicles for reliability are the Japanese imports from the 90s, IMO, but to say these old American cars didn't last that long is just wrong.
My daily before this, which I still own, is a 69 Chevelle with 120k. Both run super strong. It's all about maintenance. The absolute best
Ummm no. Most stuf post mid 70s (malaise era) kind of sucks, and American 80s stuff sucks, frankly. And this truck has 128k, running strong.
Yup. Nail on the head lol
Hahahahahahaha yes
Depending on what they're building. Mopars are harder to find parts for, and Lord help you if you pretty much anything else.
And most of the time, they've been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse for 10 years lol. But, I am a GM guy. Ford guys have it a little harder
To wait for it. So that's cool. Also, the parts generally aren't nearly as expensive as most modern parts for modern cars. They're simpler
So surprisingly, I've never had a problem. Most parts for this, and my Chevelle, I just buy at O'Reilly's. Off the shelf, and I never need
It's more apparent in other people's videos, like Junkyard Digs. You just see him being an incredible mechanic
As I was until recently stationed in Hawaii so it just didn't work out. And I'm currently "homeless", tags have to wait till I find a place
It is. In Virginia. You just aren't supposed to go on major roads with them. I have been trying to virtually rego it since I bought it, but
It still has the stock undercoat! It came with it from the dealership I'm assuming. But I definitely will be addressing it lol
You'd be so mad at how much I snagged this for
Thanks my man! I've been watching Derek for like two years now, and he's fucking great
