Perhaps when people get continual bills the size of 3Speeds above they might become more outspoken. get very little response.if automakers actually read this stuff they see they have a green light to continue with the obstruction. The things that you would think would be important to "car people" such as Right to Repair, privacy with your car's data, discussions about the spread of plate readers, etc.

Golden2husky Very telling that the amount of comments is so small.

Master Baiter Matt: How come your last post about the CA EV situation is no longer viewable?.

She missed the taut handling and the awesome exhaust tone but still satisfied with the general refinement improvements and extra power now…

Jim123 Love the FX! Wife had a Liquid Copper/Brick FX35 that was later traded on a QX70S 5.0.

I have that car you can have the entire car lots of parts.

Heather s Anyone need a engine for this? I have a 351 for you.

Guess whose picture was in the local paper the following week holding a big $500 check and a bunch of balloons! The dealer said he was calling in a favor with the association and could arrange for us to win the $500 grand prize if we signed it over to the dealership. The Connecticut area dealer association was having a promotion where new car buyers got to pop a balloon and win $25 up to a grand prize of $500 toward the purchase of a new vehicle (this was back when mass market models cost under $3,000). Businesses often tried to pull shenanigans with young, enlisted military personnel back in those days and could get blacklisted.Finally, after icing us for a while we get called in to the dealer owner's office along with the sales manager and are sworn to secrecy. They put us through the ringer trying to sway us for almost four hours, but I held firm and threatened to take the signed paperwork to the legal office on base. They claimed they gave me a bad quote on my trade in that overvalued my Duster by $500 and would have to redo the pricing/paperwork. Settled on a Plymouth Valiant Scamp (my wife's choice), got a great trade in offer from the local Chrysler Plymouth dealer, left a deposit after signing all the paperwork, and was told to come back the next morning to pick it up.Arrived the next morning and the salesman had a look on his face like his dog died and said we needed to talk to the sales manager.

It was hard to handle in snow and ice, and we needed something my wife could drive to work.

Had a hot late model Plymouth Duster 340 with manual transmission and a racing clutch.

Will圜3 1972, I'm in the Navy and just transferred from San Diego to New London, CT.

With relatively little attention, these cars will offer years (decades, for me) of reliable, stylish transportation. Lastly, I have to say that it pains me to see these cars put out to pasture like the one pictured above.

I am still angry at GM for 'killing' the brand long before discontinuing it: remember the 'Not your father's Oldsmobile' campain? That's exactly what Olds drivers wanted! The car is probably the quietest car I've ever been in. This car represents Oldsmobile's long-standing commitment to luxury and quality. As I age, though, I find this loss to be less of a pain. I still own and drive a 1984 Olds Ninety-Eight Regency Brougham - I had it now for 14 years.įrom everything I've read and studied on the subject, the Big 3 simply mated their old-technology engines (drive train as a whole) to mandated pollution-fighting technology, and the result was a horrific loss in power. We didn't find out till 2-3 years later it was our son who had been playing with the cigar lighter in the back door armrest- he had fired it up and toasted the end of his finger.I bet he doesn't miss it either! Don't miss it at all.Ĭoming home from the dealer after the purchase, we noticed a strange burnt smell in the interior.

It was the last carbureted car I would buy. Not worth the expense to cherry out, so we just lived with it.įinally got rid of it when the computer failed and there was no way I could make it run right, even after rebuilding the carburetor. They had cheaped out on the inside upper door trim and discovered a faux wood trim that bubbled and blistered in the sun, and replacements were 3-400 bucks EACH. Tranny went once, blew a timing gear and AC compressor, otherwise it was pretty reliable.but I don't miss it. We had the exact same color and year car! Bought off a tier 2 used car lot on a Wednesday night when all the salesmen were trying get to a seminar that night in Sacto.ħ years old, stickered for 27K and we bought it for $4400 out the door.
