Sad. But our old cars are going to mean nothing.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen to this country (United States of America) if history would repeat it's self. October 29, 1929 to 1939, September 1, 1939, December 7, 1941. 

Or April 19, 1775.

Ah yes...when the American people revolted against a tyrannical, power hungry, selfish, mentally unstable despot who ruled by the seat of his pants without any regard for the rule of law?

OH. SHIT. 

[alfaitalia]

Comrade!  Indeed!

That reminded me of a few comments I heard recently about how socialist the US is !!

Social security?   Socialism.
Giving farmers money not to grow stuff, or recently 12 Billion because they are losing $$ because of tariffs?  Socialism.
Driving on Interstates built by a Government jobs program?  Socialism.
Heck, when you call a bunch of guys over to put out a fire, AKA Firemen, that's socialism!

I see your point.

Who do you think pays for Highway repairs. The People who work and pay Taxes.
Firemen and Police are paid through taxes. Not through the Government.
The Government does operate without our taxed dollars. PERIOD.
Nothing is free here. Get educated Limey.

WAIT YOUR PRIME MINISTER IS A FEMALE or he/she.  
10 Bucks you never served for her Majesty or (Military)
P.S. Tell your women over there to shave their pits. lol
Don't get me wrong I love my friends in Europe and we all are on one side. PEACE

Is odcics2 a Brit than? Never knew.

Please don't confuse the unshaven, garlic chomping lot from mainland Europe with us.....we have very little in common...and will have even less soon! Lol. ....worst mistake this country had made in my lifetime imo...but that's for another thread.
This is our second Lady Prime Minister.....no one cares what sex they are...as long as they get the job done. According to wiki, 68 countries (of of about 195 countries...depending on who you believe and what wars are on today) have had a woman President or Prime Minister so we are hardly alone in that fact...a lady made the final in your last election too!

Okay...I was fair to moderate with USA history but I don't recall this one.

Okay....GREAT point!

Get a Job.

I wonder if the mods are even paying attention.   A lot of politicking going on

I replied to your post #146, where your post quoted a post of mine.  
Perhaps this thread should stick to old cars.
I tried to get it back in line, but it veered off the tracks again!

[white]

Everytime I take the charger to a show or just going to run a small errand I always hear people talk about my car "that's the car that was in the Dukes of Hazzard! " or "there is the car in Fast and Furious!" They range in age of 15-50. So I think the interest in our cars should be good for awaile. Just my car show observation opinion.

True.   The DOH is an "evergreen" series ingrained in pop culture in that it never really goes away.     You can still watch episodes.    They have made modern movies.   It will remain in the stream of public consciousness for the foreseeable future.    The iconic second gen Charger rides along as part of that.  

The above acknowledges recognition and admiration for a great looking car.    The question I have is more of, "Who will pay the current prices for these cars in another fifteen years?    I think we are going to see an significant bump of 50's, 60's, early 70's in collector cars coming to market as time moves on.  

[white]

That is a valid point, would love to visit this thread 15 years from now and what has changed in the market and what has stayed relatively the same. Most younger people are priced out of the market and choose the less expensive cars/ trucks.

[odcics2]

Being interested in an old car is one thing.

Buying one is another.   

[ACUDANUT]

 "I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that"

A lot of ownerships has changed through the years, and Mopar is no longer a real American Name. Fiat owns 50 percent of Chrysler and Since they don't buy our stuff, I won't but theirs.
Fair market trade.  (Dodge) ..aka Ram can't even make there own engines, and wants nothing to do with the Dodge name.  That's why they call it a Ram and Not Dodge. (Cummings)  is it's own company .How does that sit with you.

Excuse me but Rams have ALWAYS had a CUMMINS in them because they are the finest longest lasting diesel engine out there period and backed up by over 100 years of experience. FCA dropped the dodge name to focus the market on the RAM trucks for what thats worth....

I for one am getting sick of your misinformed opinions on most everything

[ACUDANUT]

 I love you too.

[odcics2]

I love you too.

yeah, me too.

As far your post 157, I worked for 37 years at Chrysler Engineering and am now retired.   

Thanks for your service to our country as a Marine, ACUDANUT. 

[Petebell68]

Yes Thankyou for your service, I don't think the cars will be valueless and if that's the case my boys are getting them anyway .
Both love the old cars wonder if they will be able to afford the fuel to run them though .

[ACUDANUT]

Well, thanks guys. I just bleed red, white and blue.
BTW I love the Cummins engine.  They should have put that into our Humvees. Unfortunately GM would not go for it (they own AM General).  They are so much easier to work on period.

I really liked the 12V Cummins Engines and I believe their reliability was somewhat legendary, I know plenty of guys at 600-700-800K and running well.
That said,
dunno if the same troublefree longevity has manifested as well with the 24V engines ? Just say'in... heard lotsa gripes.

[ACUDANUT]

I too love 12V Cummins Engines !!

[Aero426]

I too love 12V Cummins Engines !!

Has anyone priced 12 valve Cummins Rams?   Clean ones are spendy.   Even well used ones are not cheap.
