Classic Car General

Right now, which year is the cut-off for being classic?

>>16842601
I'd call it '79 and back, unless it's a specific body style that continued past then and didn't change significantly.

Like one guy has a '79 C10. Another guy posts his '83 C10. It's all good.

However, just because a 280Z is all fine and dandy doesn't mean a shitty 280ZX is okay. Sure, it's a classic by law, but it doesn't fit the theme around here.

Because i didn't get a chance to respond before 404.

A 225 can take boost fine for a long time.

>>16843509
No one will stop you. The legal definition of a classic had a rolling 25 year cutoff, but usually a classic needs something special. While an 85 beat to shit Civic isn't considered a classic, a 1987 Monte Carlo ss in mint condition would be

>>16843509
Fieros are classics, in some regards; for example, my '84 Indy is a classic due to its remarkable original condition and low production numbers.

I'd consider Fieros to be classics, overall, as well due to how radically different they are from modern offerings.

My car's from '88, but it looks almost identical to the 1976 original so I like to think of it as a classic.

>>16842601
Some cars are classics earlier, some later. I'd put the cutoff between 20 and 40 years depending on the rarity, desirability and cultural or technological impact of the model.

Yes and no. It's easier, but if you want to not pay out the ass you still have to through a grey market importer

I marathoned every episode of roadkill over two weeks and now desperately want a c10 stepside. I've never been into American cars before. How bad of an idea is this and what should I be looking for?

>How bad of an idea is this
It isn't, old trucks are fun

>What should I be looking for
Rust, electrical issues, bent frame or other issues vehicles can have

>>16844426
They look like it. The idea of a big old truck with a stupid amount of horsepower just sounds like a damn good time.

Why not just start with a 351?

>>16844621
He's retarded

>>16844621
Because I can get a 302 out of an explorer with the best factory heads Ford has, and with a little work make 320hp.

>>16844657
Down the road I definitely want a 351. Night b the motor after this one. This one is just my first engine swap on one of my own vehicles, and the first one I build

>Down the road I definitely want a 351. Night b the motor after this one. This one is just my first engine swap on one of my own vehicles, and the first one I build
You might as well do the 351 now. There is absolutely no reason not to unless you want to flush your cash down the toilet.

>>16844705
The cheapest way to over 300 horsepower is this way, 351w parts are more expensive and not add plentiful used around here.

This doesn't need to be a monster motor, and the 302 will be pretty easy to put all the parts on.

Another benefit is I can sell GT40 intakes to recoup some cash.

how much money would it take to restore this thing to working order assuming there is minimal structural rust?

>>16844991
what does working order mean to you? the ad states that it runs and drives.

are you looking to restore it to fresh paint, clean body and interior?
If so, probably about $10-15k at least.

/ccg/, I need input. Ford in their infinite wisdom have plced a Torx headed bolt underneath the intake plenum, tucked into the ass end of "nearly unreachable" at the crossroads of "there is no vertical space." I've already dropped two T40 screwdriver bits into the dead zone and do not want to lose the last one I have. For reference, it's on an 89 Bronco, 5.0. Ideas for not losing the third and last T40 bit would be appreciated. I've got maybe an inch and a half of vertical clearance. Not quite enough to get ratchet in there.

>>16847109
a 1/4" t40 bit in the end of a 1/4 wrench maybe?

Ffs why do meth heads always assume they know how to wire shit?

>>16847109
LS swap

>>16847135
That's pretty much the plan at this point, actually. I had to hit up the auto parts store to get another bit since recovering the other 2 isn't possible right now. It came in a little set that has a 1/4" adapter and it might work. Might being the operative word. The next step if that fails is to try to get a hand wrench around the bit like I was doing before.

>>16846461

So as if having to mill the intake wasn't a fun enough problem, I thought I'd throw on the pulleys while it was at the machinist.

HAHA NOPE, remaned waterpump hub wasn't pressed on far enough so doesn't align with crank pulley and actually is so far out it hits one side of the v's.

How do you guys feel about base-model Novas? I really like a '77 I see on CL and I've actually projected a lot of sentimental value to that particular kind of car.

1977 is an important year for me for reasons, and I really kind of like how base-models of cars like the Nova (especially of that particular vintage) are the bastard-children of classic cars.

The one I see has the 305 and automatic trans, perfect for cruising in my opinion.

What do you guys think?

In that case because it's fucking expensive as shit.

>>16850580

I understand what is it, and what it was. That doesn't change my opinion. The older Darts were cooler looking, particularly the 1970, and could be made to move.

My 1973 Volvo 142

dumb question but if i get an older car but the frame is rotted through, is there a place you can buy just the car frame? I mean, it's nothing more than a two parallel metal bars with supporting cross members in-between them

>>16851559
I'm not sure aftermarket frames are made do or most cars. Unless this car has a metric ton of sentimental value or actual value I would just buy a different car.

1974 Olds with 455 rocket and 50,000 miles. Can anyone tell me what fucking model it is? Did some work on it and drove it out of the junk yard. Someone made a stainless steel grill for it and the running board sills inside say fisher. I just insured it as a fucking toranado because thats the first model that came up.

Plase halp.

How certain are you of that? If the frame is rotted, odds are the floor is as well.

You can always look for a donor car with a decent frame, but at that point unless you've already invested a lot in a clean body it's not worth it.

Think enjoy how much labor or time will be to swap everything over

While that's not much money it's still not a deal for that car, if your objective was to restore it and run it stock the car is worth about negative $15k in that condition, seeing as the cost of restoring it would be so much greater than the value of a restored example

Craigslist; the car has no title, but everything is there. I'm going to swap in a 350 or a 454.

Sorta relevant to thread, what does a typical shop charge for a rebuild of a classic V8?
Have a Chrysler 400 in my rust box that im considering rebuilding and was curious of a ballpark figure since most there's not many shops near me who will do it.
I would do it myself but i dont have the knowledge or facility to do a rebuild.

>>16858846
Depends on what you want to do to it and what it needs. Otherwise too many variables to answer.

Assuming you just a stock rebuild on a worn out motor maybe with a mild cam and you brought it to a local machinist. I would say anywhere from $1500 to $3000.

>>16858918
Basically i want some cam but not to the point where the engine is going to stall at red lights. Its going to be a drivers car, daily driver possibly.
The 400, while a decent engine once all the emissions shit is stripped off, is no race engine. However it is a big block so i dont want it to be a total pig either.

Right, so mild lift cam which I'm sure there's plenty of options out there. I don't know much about Chrysler desu but it's pretty generic info for any of the major brands.

I didn't have that much experience either when I started this project a while ago so I had my machinist put a short block together for me but I did a lot of extra machine work done on the heads so I could use a higher lift cam and have the correct rocker geometry.

Honestly if you want to do it, I'd suggest getting them to put a short block together for you. That's the critical tolerance work of the rebuild, past that it's just bolting on parts and making things work. That's what I did. And now I'm here >>16858196

Forgot to mention shortblock is usually bottom end assembled, crank, pistons, cam and timing set.

>>16858968
Problem is i dont own a garage otherwise i would pull the engine, hot tank the short block, have it machined, and rebuild it myself.

Ah gotcha. Honestly if the motor is worn out enough that you're getting pretty decent blowby or whatever, it'd be cheaper to just swap in another lower mileage motor but if you want to keep the original block, rebuilding ain't too cheap.

>>16858938
Don't those get stroked out to 451's now?

And you're going to need pistons, and a crank anyway so might as well throw some new rods in there and make it a stroker kit anyway

>that glorious feel when your engine starts without a problem and you didn't fuck anything up

>>16859002
I havent done any compression checking on the engine and its been sitting 10 years so i wouldnt do anything until i did that.
>>16859016
You can get to 512 but the kits like fuckin 3 grand. Also Rip 727. Both engine and the trans have over 200k miles.

I'm so nostalgic for 70s Jap coupes these days, they never interested me in the past

>>16858777
seconded.

how god awful of an idea is that by the way? at the very least you could probably set a new record for bystanders killed with one of those. plow through a crowd like a wrecking ball.

>>16858846
I was looking into CME for a chrysler rebuild myself. they have a pretty good reputation.

>>16858938
>where the engine is going to stall at red lights.
That's a problem with the carburetor you put on it.

people frequently drill out the idle bypass holes in thermoquads to let more idle air through when they put on a big cam.

anyway it's a Detroit pushrod V8, nothing complicated if you ever decided to do it yourself.

>>16861156
Same, RX3's are so pretty. I love the really thin chrome-work on old jap shitboxes

>>16862217
I know its something im capable of i just dont have the time or facility. I live in an apartment building so no garage.

I do enjoy 80s land barges. I wish mine had the TBI though, instead of carb, but the Canadian models didn't get rid of the carb until 86

Is it wrong that a part of me wants this? https://comoxvalley.craigslist.ca/cto/6023513423.html

Got the head back on late the other night. Body mounts, here I come.

I want a clean Caprice Classic soooo much.

>>16858346
How much did you buy that for? I've been looking for a mid 70's Lincoln Continental myself as a fun summer driver.

It's not just oil leaks, it's also "Rust protection"

>>16864259
Damn right, although one time i did snap oversteer.

>>16864272
There's barely a speck of rust on my car, because i don't drive it in winter.
