That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

It's actually a Plymouth Volare. For some hosed up reason they could be ordered with a trim package called Duster, a couple of years after the Duster died.

When it comes to Mopar I don't find anything weird anymore. Thanks for the info.

Here's what gave me my first auto boner:

I bought a matchbox car 'models of yesteryear' 1917 Mercer Raceabout and my 12 y/o self was in love. Take a look at those things. Frame, wheels, engine, seat, and nothing much else. It's a total big big kid's go-cart.

it's hard to really grasp what F1 cars can do, but then something like that or the Eau Rouge F1/GT side by side video comes along and you think "gently caress, that's right, F1 cars are UFO's :catstare:"



Dan Gurney gives AJ Foyt a kiss from behind during the Grand Prix of Volkswagens, Nassau Speedweek, 1964

I believe the story goes like this: Dan Gurney had an illegally over-powered engine and pushed AJ Foyt around the track. Dan pulled out and passed AJ on the last lap, got the checkers and was then DQd and AJ was awarded the win.

Volvo 780 Bertone. One of about 8500 made between 1985 and 1990, intended to compete with BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar in the luxury sedan segment. It didn't succeed.


My boss at the stereo shop way back when loved Volvos, and had two of these at one point, with the V6, both black with tan leather. I liked them.

quote:

I cannot find any part number for this amplifier her any markings from Kenwood in anyway on this amplifier this amplifier probably was a demo item in a demo vehicle. That's that would explain UV Meter mounted on the amplifier to show a visual response to the music.

There's really not known about this amplifier I got it from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a friend kind of thing. Amplifier has been used as you can see to drive the front speakers on my automobile two 5 1/4's 21 inch tweeters and to 2" x 4" mid ranges.

The sample is really cool because it has a built-in UV meter the dances with the music. The only reason I'm giving this up we're doing a color change on the vehicle so this amplifier needed to be PINK to stay.

Well it may not be that rare eBay member: eastzide said back in the day you could pick up these amps in Indonesia and Malaysia.

There is a lot of hearsay about this amplifier we cannot prove one way or the other but all I know is it worked it pushed my 6 x 9 so it did a good job and is now for sale.

It's not an amp. There is nothing on that board but a tiny little control transformer and the stupid analog gauge. All it does is move the needle.

If you want to take a darker (but probably realistic) view, it's a scam (scamp?). It's interesting that the board silk screen seems to indicate some legit production, but there are no spots for other components to be added. It just just passes the audio through and shows the AV visualization.
