Wow, you wouldn't think that someone that could buy it legally would resort to smoking paraquat covered ditch weed.
Got one in a box in the garage (it works). Going price here? $25,000. Cash, no names exchanged. Briefcase/box............ Done deal.
Even if it's a typo and it was supposed to be $200.....that's still about 20 times too much!!!!!:roll:
Look for my PM.Quote:

Whatever it is I don't want any part of it or that POS radio if he gave it to me. Oh, that Shure 404B mic is one of the best I ever used but I don't need it, already have one. (;->)
I sure as hell don't want the radio but that must be some dynamite smoke.... I will take some of that then maybe I can get 10 grand for one of my junk radios.Quote:

You should have asked him about Spice, it triggers psychotic episodes.
What a piece of junk !!

Sorry Dune Cat, right idea but the wrong Spice. If he smoked the good stuff like those Guild Navigators he could fold space.
What do you call the mouse in the third moon?
We call that one "About $3500"

Here is another smoker. A 920 in trade for a 7000 and ALS-500? So if we look at the used market what are we talking, 1400$ give or take? A 920 is a nice radio but it has not been 1400$ nice for a long time. Now, I realize he is willing to sell it for 815$ but I think he should have done that math before stating what he wants for trade.
Realistically he would be more likely to trade the radio for a 7000 straight up or even a 706MIIG. That being said, I liked my 920 but Id not trade a 7000 for one.
Okay, okay, so he is not smoking near as much as the OP's example but still. I think he hit the cigar a little too hard and was used to a pipe.
My Siltronix 1011D cost me a good $30, but I had to work on it. The main problem with it was it covered the CHICKENBAND and not the Important part of 10 Meters (28.0 to 28.5). I reset the vfo so it would, but then the dial was nowhere near close or usable. So I bought a N3ZI digital Readout for it and now it will display where I am and I can forget what the VFO Dial says.
Puts out good power and is a FB 10M rig. In Museum service now, but can be called into duty at any time.
And if you will buy that i have a geo metro you can buy great gas mileage and only 75,000 dollars :rofl:

Careful, it would be a shame to see a classic at the bottom of a hole.

At least the Pinto's engine was a real engine that had seen service as an engine prior to being a Pinto engine whereas the Vega engine was a V8 that GM cut in half long ways and didn't even change the way the firing order worked to help balance the thing out.Quote:

I bought my first Vega for $20 and the previous owner had already removed the engine and transmission for me. 2 weeks later a 300HP 327 and a Powerslide transmission lived in the car.... Slapper bars and M-50s (Tire size back then... About 12 inches wide) on the back and drag tires (skinnies)on the front. That car ran many 13 second quarters before I traded it for a 67 Mustang.Quote:

If you've ever seen one, you'll never forget it. I was 15 and and the first words out of my mouth was, "What the hell is that stupid shit?" Yeah, there were no adults around. We didn't talk that way around adults because they were always so squeemish about such language.
When the Vega was introduced (1970), I was 9 and in love with my Dad's new (for him) 1968 or 1969 (I think) 383 Powered Dodge Dart. It was yellow with black stripes. He called it his Bumblebee.
I'm sure you remember John DeLorean,
According to DeLorean's 1979 book On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors (a whole chapter of which is titled "The Vega"), "[The Vega] produced a hostile relationship between the corporate staffs, which essentially designed and engineered the car, and Chevrolet Division, which was to sell it. From the first day I stepped into Chevrolet, the Vega was in trouble. General Motors was basing its image and reputation on the car, and there was practically no interest in it in the division. We were to start building the car in about a year, and nobody wanted anything to do with it. Chevy's engineering staff was only going through the motions of preparing the car for production, but nothing more. Engineers are a very proud group. They take interest and pride in their designs, but this was not their car and they did not want to work on it."
DeLorean and his dispirited staff were particularly unimpressed by the Vega's new 2.3-liter engine, which used an unlined aluminum block and an iron cylinder head containing a single camshaft. While the block's aluminum construction was innovative, the rest of the engine was almost old-fashioned. And with an output of only 80 hp in standard form, it meant that the Vega was hardly thrilling to drive.
From: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...t-destroyed-gm
As you can see, the Vega engine was a "all new" Unsleeved aluminum engine. It was also a SOHC engine.
More on the Chevy Vega:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Vega
I'be owned several Vegas when I was younger (teens and twenties). I remember the engines very well. I yanked every one.
You must be thinking of a different engine.
"All new." They could conceivably cut a motor in half and call it all new.
I'm going to have to let you have this one. I can't find a picture of a standard Vega engine but I remember the car well.
This picture however, did come up in the search terms.

Ah that wonderful Vega, nice car but with that POS engine terribly underpowered. It wouldn't get out of its own way and slowed to a crawl on even shallow inclines. I drove this one belonging to my girlfriend's best girl friend, that's my honey sitting on the hood. She had a yellow '69 Camaro, never made up my mind which was hotter, she or the car. Mine was a '73 Impala, typical 350 that served well, the Hy Gain commercial 25-30MHz NMO mount antenna on the trunk was the finishing touch and I had a collection in the trunk for the scanner. Anyway, why did GM decide to call it "fertile plain"? The Gran Torino was named "grand touring car" (loosely translated) rather appropriately, maybe Ford had more sense.
