What's wrong with the wheel weights? That's how Ford did them.

The wheel is counter balanced. The weights are 180 degrees from each other. Should never be 2 weights on one side of wheel unless they are right next to each other. A rookie mistake by a newbie balancing the tire.

Oh crap. I guess ...

Same seller as the Blue. Which I think has been a no sell.


Not to pick on the car but.

passenger side photos make it look like the quarter panel is a different shade.

And that tire shot. Somebody needs to learn how to balance tires(counter balanced) Just loose the weights and use stickies

It ...

Re: Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! I did not get much done on #43 this year. I plan to go to town on it next year. I am considering painting it black with gold accents in honor of the late great Richard Petty. What do you think?? Suggestions welcome :o

"late great Richard Petty"? Did he die and I didn't know it?

Facebook group

There is an interesting pic exchange happening on the Facebook group. A member of the group is posting pictures from when he worked at ASC and the amount of work it took to create a Capri convertible.

Friendly bet it doesn't sell to a real buyer?....
Or doesn't hit the minimum bid?
Again like I posted in this thread, nice looking car just odd bid jumps
If you follow these cars and how eBay works, your car has jumped too much too fast with that many days left to be legit
I can only hope your car ...

A bunch of things wrong with the car.

I'd want a Marti report on the car. I'd also want to see the buck tags and door tags.

From what Sandy told me on the QT, North Town played fast and loose with the asc parts they got and how they installed them. The car may have never gotten the shift knob if ...

I've wanted Sandy's Capri since I first met him back in '88. Unfortunately money is tight and I feel any offer I could make Karen and Matt would be an insult. I hope whomever gets the blue one can fully appreciate what they're getting.
