Category: US Cars Forum

Hello @all bin so while browsing around for the classic car quiz on an old car, of which I am of the opinion that he belongs in this forum. Who finds similar, may join me, and post it here. And please not only pictures but also a few data. Here now my find piece: He is Bj ’37 and at that time looked not bad, until someone took him and refreshed him. A CORD, 2 doory got short hand Jaguar axles, a Corvette 5.7 liter engine mi t 470 HP and a Powerglide automatic transmission missed. Furthermore, were needed by: servo steering, servo braking system,climate ect. Was removed for this all the ornament, among other things also door handles and locks. The whole fun is also available for purchase, for limp 97.500,- US $. So look at it. Cuck here:

Hi, to all who have already imported a car. How is your experience? Dear RO/RO – because cheaper. Problem: possible theft of external parts (carriage strip, etc.). possibly improper parking too tight (Dellen…)… …or rather in the container. Problem here: have already asked a freight forwarder who thought that one should cover the seats with a cloth, because possibly moss can grow on it…? And of course a container is a lot more expensive… Thanks and greeting Bavarian

Hello dear community, as one knows, my heart beats not only for Americans, but also for old/youngtimers of all kinds. When it comes to me, I would like to later call my own a collection of many different models and brands, with the main focus on models from other eras, on cars from the 70’s. With my Corvette, a compromise from my love of Amis and my tendency to old/youngtimers preserved in the original condition, I have the first stone was laid and hope to continue to realize a collection in this direction with a new job soon and to fulfill this dream, piece by piece, that this attitude to life actively a piece of automobiel history with all its emotions to “experience” and. Oldtimer meetings and especially oldtimer rallies are not excluded (beside the hunt (!) after e-parting) but should be, or hopefully soon form an integral part of my hobby. Since the way b Is that time-wise and also financially understandable way still very long, I am looking for quasi as motivation for my project model cars in the larger, very detailed scale of all cars I could imagine to own, insofar as the possibility offers to me to arise the same. Does one of you know a company the model cars manufacture, in which I could try my luck? You would also have to offer models that belong to the “everyday cars” of past times, and nic I find just the documentation of trends, attitudes to life, design, developments and highlights in the whole field of automobiel history makes for me the reitz of my project. Swinger P.S. A list of the “time witnesses” that I have considered follows on occasion. Perhaps one of you knows someone who wants to sell such a youngtimer for small money before either completely It disappears from the image or is no longer to be paid as a vintage car.

As many people already know, I have a Pontiac TS 3,8 l. With the transmission I have silences! Jeztz after a few Miles one listens more closely to the noises. The following problem. Radio off, when I start I hear an ever louder noise like a kind of grinding, which when switching then silently and afterwards increases when the car accelerates again until the switch. Hae gear oil (engine ran) looks after, but is red with bubbles! Bin not heated, but rather very calmly cruised. Car switches without jerking, but nevertheless has my concerns, which I want to express here. Any idea? Motor oil I also controlled, also en few bubbles! Don’t understand all this. Need your expert help absolutely! Greeting Dirk

Hello guys I need your expert opinion. I have just been offered a Charger 500 (Bj. 1972). According to photos it is even the SE variant. Whether the original engine is still in it I can not say with certainty (I have to check that first). It is not a show car but in my eyes an average driver. Now to my question: Has there ever been a Charger 500 in 1972? If yes, there was an SE variant of it? How expensive are such vehicles currently traded? I hope you can help me. mfg LI Shadow

Hi, for 5 years I’ve been pulling in every Chrom&Flame, and now it’s time, my passat is “ready” on to new shores. I need your help everything I know from newspapers, but not real experience values. Which Us Car is good as a beginner car – definitely a Muscle Car of my dream cars I’m financially still far away anyway, student. He should have some steam that my passat with 195 Ps does not seem much faster, rather slower. But he may hal t not be so expensive. But also not soo cheap, that constantly something is broken. I want to cruise it already. Can I recommend a nen clever compromise. Actually I like almost all muscle cars. Should I get it in Switzerland, or Austria? Best regards einsachturbo Thanks for the answers

what are the reactions of civilian not driving ami when you see your car when you drive through the countryside?? so I’ve been damn often mentioned, stupidly always when I’m at a filling station (will probably leave a tank truck behind with in the near future) most people have no idea what kind of car it is. so far I’ve only got praise, not a single negative comment. even by people where with cars little can do, like women o the elderly fellow citizen (who always get upset about the extreme loudness…well, should do their midday sleep another time) when I drive through a city (which I rarely do) I feel almost embarrassing, because really everyone looks after. have you had similar experiences?

Hello people, in recent times the newspaper reports about illegal street races are piled up… several hundred people arrange to sleep on the Internet at night on some country roads to then speed up races (only I can’t get it again, although I would have liked to see it :-). Some even drive a few hundred km to be there. Basically, I don’t care what other night at the Möhnesee 🙂 But the police see it logically That’s what happened in the U.S. in the 1950s, right? Didn’t wartime returners and young “half-strong” with their HotRods “terrorize” the streets of idyllic small towns? Well then, with ban and police, they tried to get the situation under control. When that didn’t work, they came up with the idea to make the kids’ official racetracks available to them… That’s how they did it. the enthusiasm and the energy that the boys invested in can steer into legal paths. Can this not be done in Germany too? There is a chronic lack of dragrace tracks here anyway. What do you think about it? Christian

tach together, I have a few questions regarding combi approval for a 90’s Chevy caprice station at you. after searching through the contributions to this topic, unfortunately, I still don’t know what is decisive for the registration now… stickers in the door? total weight in the vehicle license? total weight of the axles? since I want to collect some valid arguments and information before I visit a test site, hope you can help me. maybe I can ever get a job mand even send a copy of his caprice station approved with combi approval? would be really great! in the kfz-schein I have a permissible total weight of 2730kg, the sum of the permissible axle loads amounts to 2825kg. btw: who of you is actually at the start at the meetings at burger king in düsseldorf? I passed there last Friday times, was really quite full on the small parking lot thx & Greetz, suffocator

Other directions at the Amis / AGR valve Moin, my instructor told me today about the current direction. Well known is that the current is physically from – to + flows, but technically from + to -. Is it true that the Amis also in the cars have the physical current direction, so I have to disconnect the plus pole if I want to make the car “stromless”? Next we came to the topic of rotation direction of the engine, then he meant that in America and England cars Is that true, if so which one? MfG Hawk Oh yes how is that if I drive without AGR valve? Bad? Not really? AGR is what is sitting above the exhaust manifold on the spray wall sone metal tin.
