 Deal of the month
My 17 year old daughter bought a 6 cyl 1965 coupe earlier this year. I get to fix it for her. On the way home in it after buying it, over the constant squeal of the front tires from the wore out front end, she asked me what the noise was in the rear. I replied it was a bad bearing in the rear axle. She asked can it be fixed? Yeaahhh, it can (lots of $ which she doesn't have.) Last month I was looking at the recycler on line (we live in southern California.) There was an add for 1965 V8 rear axle, new brakes, $25. I called and the nice guy who answered said yes it was still for sale. I told him we'll take it and will be by Saturday afternoon, the next day, to pick it up. He lives just south of Disneyland. We arrived and he had the rear axle sitting out on the driveway with a bunch of other stuff. V8 front drums and hubs, complete Granada discs, control arms. He wanted $25 more for everything. The rear end had new drums, cylinders and was painted black (real paint, not foo foo can.) We paid him the $50 and loaded everything up. We got home and I threw the rear end up on some saw horses. I looked in the fill plug and it was dry with set up dye still on the ring gear. It was a newly rebuilt rear end! He had bought his '65 and was putting a 9" and high dollar suspension and didn't have room to store this stuff. I started getting ready to install the rear end last week and realized I hadn't checked one more thing. I spun one drum and low and behold the other drum spun the same way. Pulled the fill plug again and looked in with my flashlight, yep it's a posi. I don't know when I'll be able to top this. A newly rebuilt 8" with posi for $25. It's overkill for my daughter's car but she paid for it, so in it went. I put the Granada disc's on the front. I have a hard time sleeping at night. |
