Just what we needed in town 4 miles from the other Walmart and 1 mile from the nearest Home Depot.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
kind of appropriate that these dying cars are next to a cemetary.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
[b] Update on rotting Cobra - it has been liberated!
No brake pedal - no clutch pedal - no fluids on floor or under car. New battery but no power to anything. Getting under the car found the gas line comes out of tank - loops around then follows exhaust to engine. - -  - - The frame and suspension look fine - untouched for many years. The frame rails are BIG! - -  -  -  -  - - Some of the ducting for the brakes is still intact - - -  -  -  -  - - The thing that is the oddest to me is the angle of the drive shaft?? I would think this would cause quite a vibration at speed. Is this really supposed to look like this? - -  -  -  -  -
