I bought a 1974 Mercury comet for 400.00$ 20 years ago, i drove that thing all over creation, straight 250 six ,four door , green with jaundice interior.
The only performance upgrade i did was a front disc brake conversion.
I had to keep a case of oil in the trunk to refil with every tank of fuel.
I bought a cheap 74 Power Wagon as my backup vehicle at the time. I drove it for a year and lost reverse, drove it for another year without backing up.

Think of the money you saved by not paying car payments.

Growing up Dad had an old Valiant, no reverse lol.

Maybe he should take it to a stihl dealer to have it fixed.

Ya know I got a heck of a deal on a stihl saw that was taken to a husky dealer for repairs.........

We had a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere with a push button automatic.

How many of you took driver's education at school and had a pickup with 3 on the tree? It was not a favorite. A few of us didn't mind it at all. Whoever purchased it from local dealer, should have demanded a new clutch.

I did......and drove plenty of three speeds on the column. I remember a few being easy to get locked up.....and having to get underneath and get em straightened out.

@Woodpecker wasn't that AMC brown mfer at driver's training a three on the tree? Not the Reliant, the other brown one.

Yep had a old C10 step side Chevy 3 on the tree linkage always get stuck if u tried to go from third to first lol

 

[Jts trikes]

No I haven’t got it fixed.
At this point all I know to do is wait until dealer can plug it in.
Or sell it to someone who can fix it.

 

[cus_deluxe]

I’d be careful dangling a carrot like that in front of this crowd…

Hes right, dodge owners love a good meat post...
Wheres @P.M.P. when ya need him

Dunno I never had to drive that one. Got lucky and only had to run the reliant once. Rest of the time it was the loner dodges.

Never took drivers ed. But I had two 3 on the trees. I would give anything to have one of them back; it was a '68-69 chevy; white, chrome rims, raised letter tires, wooden bed, red interior, custom stereo, small V8... Like Randy said, had to get her unlocked once in awhile. The other was a '79 Chevy with polyester tires; you know what I did a lot of with those tires, don't tell Dad, lol
