I like how he thinks the 4 bolt block refers to how many bolts hold it to the car, and that it somehow makes "unreal horsepower". Probably in the neighborhood of 125-175 for that era I'd guess. I was going to tell him but I can't figure out if he's serious or just not very bright.

Sadly enough I think he's both, he's serious and not very bright.

I believe it would take more than a little bondo to fix that dent.

Goodguytrucks · 03-14-2007, 11:40 AM

That is pretty funny!!

A guy once told me " Can't fix stupid "

70rs/ss · 03-14-2007, 11:42 AM

He is SERIOUSLY NOT BRIGHT!! Well, we can't all be car geniouses. The 3-4 bolt thing is just someone talking without knowing, oh well, you could ask him a question, or just let it slide. I'd let it slide cause these are the guys that know lots about nothing and will argue with you!!

BowTieOgre · 03-14-2007, 12:03 PM

Poor fella, at least he was enthusiastic about the whole deal. The bondo recommendation killed me!

Now if that Vette had the Beta tape player then I might make an offer.

84_4x4 · 03-14-2007, 12:08 PM

so what does the 3 bolt and 4 bolt even mean or do

Dano69c10 · 03-14-2007, 12:08 PM

No one want to comment on that rattle can paint job.

CrashEd · 03-14-2007, 11:47 AM

He has got to be joking .Im still laughing on this one "There is an indentation behind the passenger side that bondo would probable fix right up" then look at the picture i about fell out of my chair laughing.

To make it interesting - I have seen worse. It was a Corvette ad. I'll link it up in a sec, but I wanted everyone to understand that even though Corvettes are getting expensive, this one is worth about 1/20th the asking price. The ad is generally hilarious.

I was just glad to see the guy wasn't from Oklahoma, I never would've lived that one down.

Amen

[QUOTE="Also the 350 engine has 4 bolts instead of 3 making them much more sought after (usaully $1000.00 just for an engine)because they secure to the car or truck a whole lot better (reducing the jarring for racecars") .[/QUOTE]

Is this guy talking mains or motor mounts.LOL

Pyrotechnic · 03-14-2007, 03:38 PM

Bondo is far too expensive and would weigh too much and would probably decrease quarter mile time from a 21.6 sec to a 22.9 sec. Unacceptable. The dent should be filled with wadded up paper towels then covered in strips of 3M duct tape, the stuff that they use on cars that go 200MPH of course. For the final show quality finish, it should receive a coat of duplicolor spray paint from autozone and finished with a nice coat of armor all for that show winning shine.

CrashEd · 03-14-2007, 12:23 PM

If i buy that truck i could pick it up when i got to the superchevy races. With that granny 1st gear max hrspower id probably have to race in the bigboys class whats nitro run for a gallen this days.

Big Block · 03-14-2007, 12:59 PM

Never seen a 3 bolt. Is that where the 3rd bolt goes through the middle of the crank. Come on get real!

It does have rusty spots, but 1974 you gotta expect that.

Good for a laugh.

terrellautosports · 03-14-2007, 01:28 PM

that right there's funny. i don't care who you are.

arkracing · 03-14-2007, 01:43 PM

Ahh I love it - i'd give him $100 for it for parts (but only if it ran)

Someone should ask him to pull the oil pan and snap a picture to prove that it is a 4 bolt main - wait that might be too confusing for him.
