My collection has always been an investment to help at retirement if needed. Got the retirement covered, so it's going for fun stuff on the cars instead!

 

I am just old enough to start thinking about retirement but still young enough to not worry too much about it.

Well after talking a little to my wife she is more and more for me getting this car. Lets hope I can get the deal done right and then tow it home for some work.

Well I did absolutely nothing on any of my cars today, but I did buy a new toy today! Saw a very nice 1969 Chevy Suburban on local CL last night, so drove an hour today to look at it. Super clean, with only 125,000 miles on it. Brand new 350 engine with TH400 trans. Power steering, power disc brakes, headers, Edelbrock intake, new Holley 600 carb, new HEI dist., fresh tune up, full length exhaust system, tinted side windows, nice decent metallic blue paint. No rust, and solid as a new truck.
Picked it up for an offer of $2,000! Or should I say srtole it?

 

Holy crap, you did "srtole" it. You don't see many of those, or even the pickups for that matter, that aren't in a heap.
I'll give you $2,100 for it, and you can put your guilt to rest! .

 

Slick!

 

There's nothing to do it. Flip it? Keep it to tow the next project home? LOL

 

Vall just noticed. I need measurements on those springs. May be a candidate for me. Would you mind?

 

Which springs? It's coils all around.

 

No tthis one's a keeper. I'm actually selling my '84 Toyota 4x4 to a friend's son for the same price, so it's a wash. The Toy has 172,000 miles on it, and getting pretty long in the tooth. I wanted something to haul toys in, and maybe pull the Austin to out of town shows. Looked at much newer Suburbans, but this one came up yesterday and I jumped on it quickly.
It's got very minor things to fix. R. rear turn signal needs a new lamp. Heater control has one broken slide sw., horn sw. needs replaced, as it's been mounted under the dash with a push button, and original radio has quit. Pretty minor, and easy fix items.

 

I'd of jumped on that too. You got a great deal you can't lose on. And I was referring to the hood springs Vall. They might fit the bill. I found them for sale on a Goodmark site but no dimensions (length) for them.
