One made of thick metal with beautiful lines and a great deal of character.
most cars from the mid 70's on back I would consider "real" cars.

oh, and a "real" car has a precision engine and/or a nice clean exhaust note... and minimal useless parts.

how about all of the above???

like this...trading my CBR and 3 grand to my brother...

It aint perfect though and the pic is a couple of years old. Gotta wait a couple of weeks for some stock to sell first so I really hope he doesn't change his mind!!!

It is a 70 Dart Swinger with the 340. I talked him into throwing in the plates for a case of Old Milwaukee King Cans!

aren't the 340 ones rare?

like Adolf, but a couple years newer. cool.

Yeah I am hoping that the deal goes through. I can't always rely on my brother. I mean if I needed him he would break someone's legs for me but he isn't always the most reliable you know?

Anyways I have all my fingers and toes crossed too! I know it will need a bunch of work and I won't be able to do it all over night but it will be a work in progress and a really fun toy eventually!

you had an Oreo Mercedes!
mine was a '71 280S automatic

I'd like to get a convertible of the same year, but they're never on sale...

mmkay, so I'm looking to maybe put clubman bars on my 350 just to see what the big deal is all about and why people like them so much. Is there some unwritten law somewhere saying that you *have* to use rearsets with clubmans, or is that just for tall people (er, people over 5'4") who would probably not be comfortable bent that way?

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22896 on:** January 11, 2010, 07:33:17 PM »

when you're leaning that far forward your legs press into your belly.
try grabbing your triple tree while you're riding, it's virtually the same body position.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #22897 on:** January 11, 2010, 07:34:42 PM »

oh, ok, I'll try that, thanks.
I'm just pretty torn between those and lowish superbike bars, not sure which way I'll go yet.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22898 on:** January 11, 2010, 07:37:11 PM »

on which bike?

I believe she mentioned in a prior post.. her 350..
