one of the things that delights me about this automotive hobby I'm enthusiastic about, is the sense of humor and variety of things that are included, like the 70s vans
This is mighty 70s, bowling, Evel Knievel, chopper bicycles, vans, Cragar SS rims, Spirit of 76 stars and stripes, and Thrush side pipes
The GNRS was a great time today, after waiting in many lines, both in traffic to get into parking (take the White Ave exit off the 10 for gods sake, avoid an hour in the traffic jam on other ways to get to gate 9 parking) and to get the tickets, and every other thing people were in line for - but even in the parking lot there were fun things - like these vans

This looks interesting, Rogue Heroes, the story of the SAS, on Amazon, from the BBC
I haven't seen it yet, been too busy blogging! But I'm going to watch it soon, as spring is certainly a dead zone for new tv and movies, it's when I catch up on all the ones I've been meaning to get to

how anyone let a 68 427 Vette get this shabby, is a criminal mystery. But this one is on Ebay and located in Lincoln, Nebraska, auction ends Sunday about 2 pm
reserve is likely twice what anyone is going to bid, and why does anyone even bother bidding less than 50k? You know the seller wants at least that much

the Mopar Performance Orange Box is available for Mopar enthusiasts, Mancini Racing went to the original supplier to remake the performance Orange Box!
By the early ‘70s, Chrysler had added distributor EI to its list of firsts. With the goal of better fuel economy and cleaner exhaust emissions, Chrysler offered, as an option, a breaker-less distributor, a five-pin ignition box, a dual-ballast resistor, and the related wiring into late-year production ’71 manually shifted (3- or 4-speed) 340 Demons and Dusters.
The newer solid-state internals of the four-pin Orange Box provided a more consistent, hotter spark for better performance, which resulted in a rock-solid dwell control to 6000 rpm.
Chrysler developed the high-rpm capable Chrome (8000 rpm) and Gold (12,000 rpm) Boxes for the high-winding crowd, but the Orange Box sufficed for most street cars.
