Unfortunately(?) 4wd only in my case - no awd available back then on a Diesel-powered 2500 (that's really a single-wheel 3500 underneath) with a nearly 7k lbs curb weight....
.....but I do like older, heavy-ish stuff, so I'm good with that

Gotta wonder how much it bothered Rob that he couldn't actually get Dragula for his video by the same name? He did get the Munster Koach but it doesn't make sense to have THAT Munster car in this video.

I’m a wagon guy. My wagon ..actually my first car. 67 Checker Marathon..cause I couldn’t afford a 55 or 57 Belair.
Darn you! Really hoping you'd say it was a complete waste and you're returning it!
Glad it's working well. The ads and even reviews are often limited in helpfulness. I have no desire for another pedal, but I would love to try one to see if my mind cold be changed.
If I buy one that's the color I prefer. I'm just hoping everyone hangs on to theirs or sells them as crazy prices.
I'm with ya!I'm a fan of wagons too - my favorite are the "original" style of SUV; station wagon body on a truck frame:

It’s a shame you’re not in a close driving distance. I need a road tripDarn you! Really hoping you'd say it was a complete waste and you're returning it!

That would be cool. I'm guessing that would be about a 2500 maybe 3000 mi jaunt one way!
Depends on where in Kentucky and where in Colorado but generally not a bad drive seeing how it's a straight shot west.
I did 21 hours straight through on the way back from Florida over the Holidays, 1,340 miles.
Thanks, I was thinking I would have to peel the cover off in pieces, but the cover wasn’t attached at all. Not even a tight fit.
Much closer than I thought. Can't get much more of a straight line than that. That looks to be from Lexington, I'm in Louisville which would be about an 1.5 hrs closer than Lex where that awful University of Kentucky is located. Couldn't live there. I don't mind the team or school, but the fans are as thoroughly obnoxious as they come--even if they're winning.
Yes, I figured it would be a real pain getting it out. Interesting PU. Wonder how it sounds compared to the modern black Thunderbird PUs?
cassette? ...you mean 8-track don't you?
My yellow 1974 AMC Javelin had a Quadraphonic stereo system....
This one wore the battery down on many a night...

Not a chance of that happening, Greco is the best Thunderbird that no one knows about.

All this talk of wagons.......I love this car, it's old, slow and a little ugly (like it's owner!) but with a some care it's almost indestructible, and yeah if you know how to drive, it's the best car for snow. Obviously they're Thunderbird friendly.
I am planning to hang on to my NR's despite what may or may not be released next year, AND I'm not in pursuit of a ginuwine '64.
I did get better than first release list pricing on both, so I'm ahead of the game.
I did only plan to have maybe two fretted, so with the Greco reverse, 1 of 2 NR's, Bass VI and 5 string Ric, I'm already breaking the rules.
I think I'm going lined fretless using the lighter sections of my brazillian rosewood veneers.
