    Indestructible. I’m glad I found mine. It was in a box with polishing compuunds, and wheels I’ve never used. Sitting in the trunk of my old Chrysler. Things I find while looking for other things. Still have a box of stuff to go through from my first Truck. Planned on giving it all to someone with a WS. Now I never see the old ones. They had cool dash switches. Little lights in the tips of them. They’d change from green to red, when switched. Some were amber. Interior was premium quality. Looked like new. I’m easy on the interiors. The Freightliners still fall apart. Lol. My headliner in the bunk fell down a while back. It literally has Velcro strips holding it up in the middle. It’s in the old Chrysler along with old door panels. Got to get my interior back together. Looks like crap right now.

    Hellmans here too. In the past though we used to make our own mayo. Eggs, vinegar and oil basically. a few other ingredients to taste. Takes about 10 minutes in a blender or food processor. Good stuff but you don't make a big batch cause it only lasts a few days without all the preservatives that are in the commercial brands.

    Looks like there’s a few miles on that one.

    Everybody wants the 69 FTS 383, or 440. But the 340 is perfect for that car. All around drivability, with less weight. Even a Challenger is better suited with a 340. They never could quite hook up good like a B body anyway. My 70 SE had a 383. Friend of mine has a 70 RT with a 440. They’re nice, but still too nose heavy. Takes away from handling. I love old Mopars. Unfortunately the Investers have discovered them, too.

    This is why we have to go with it being a food group.

    D80BE08F-ACC8-441E-BC2A-50C880691493.png So what do you Guys think? Here’s a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Loaded up, every option, as a Limited. Not a Limited though.All leather. It’s got a 318, 3 spd/ OD 4x4. One Owner, 91 yr old woman. 44k miles. Garage kept, no rust at all underneath. Asking price is $8800. Lot of money for a 23 yr old Jeep. 318 magnum engine is good. Not the old 318,LA engine, but new design 318. They’re good engines, but only 12-17 mpg. 4.3 V8 gets about 5 mpg better. They’re good , but prone to valve train issues eventually. I’d like to get it for $7k, $8800 just seems too high. Though I’d keep it forever. Don’t mind paying a little extra for low mileage original etc.

    Getting 4 new trailer airbags put on and a new leveling valve as well. Valve was leaking a bunch and 3 out of 4 bags had pinhole leaks in them

    Bro, its all about what you want.
    Personally, I wouldn't give that much for it, but I don't care about jeeps.

    This winter seems to have been unusually harsh on all things related to air system.
