I have always liked the way Gremlins looked... seriously... ever since they were introduced in the early '70s I've liked them. Never had one, had friends with them and recall all the mechanical issues... anyway, found out about the Eagle Kammback... looks like a stretched Gremlin in the back... I find it quite cool... and it's 4x4... and if I get one, it'll be a Diesel... a quick search pointed me to two possible project rigs... both with 4speeds... I have a t-5 from SuperDawg that could be used... prefer an AT though... there is one with a 151 (I4) that needs a trans, that would be the easiest to fix, just swap in the T-5 from SuperDawg... Longer term, I'm thinking Mercedes Diesel... Anyone know of a bell housing adapter/clutch setup to drop either the 240D or a 3.0L I5 engine and have it mate to a T-5 or an AW4? :) I don't know if any of these old Eagles will roost in the Snohomish Monster Garage or not, NOT even going to ask my wife, I know she'll take one look at either toss her cookies or just say no... pretty sure my son will not assist in this insanity either... so this shall be a clandestine popcorn project... ;) Just me and a couple hundred of my closest gear head friends. ;) jim, why do you do these things to me? ;) You know I have no will power, no common sense, no memory of the pain of AMC... yet you persist in tempting me with these oddball project ideas... A Diesel powered Eagle Kammback 4x4, with leather heated WJ seats and setup to run on WVO and BioDiesel... ah yes, I can see it now... Oh yeah, one thing I learned, the Kammbacks came with the ultra quiet and plush package... if it hasn't molded by now, it'll be good for the Diesel conversion... thinking a 240D I4 transplant for simplicity... we'll see... I may take one look at the cars in person and toss my cookies... ;) maybe I should just buy the car and make it a trailer to haul veggie oil... In the meantime, having a blast just thinking about it... btw, anyone know of a good bluetooth headset that will pair to two phones? (only need to talk on one at a time). have a blackberry 8830 and a centro (at&t and verizon) the jawbone and plantronics 640 both have "issues"... the jawbone ear attachment failures and will only pair with ONE phone... the 640 is over 3 years old and worn out. :( later, john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold SAVE fuel: use synthetics: http://www.AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 SAVE power: use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf http://wagoneers.com http://wagoneers.com/johns-vehicles.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:09:17 CDT From: Dan Black Subject: fsj: Jerrari Hey, I went back and looked at the Jerrari auction, and they have a few videos and a couple galleries linked at the bottom. The first video is the best. http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130221205611 .......... Walk Around Video http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1969_Jerrari/movies/walkaround.wmv Test Drive It http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1969_Jerrari/movies/testdrive.wmv Watch and Hear it Run http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1969_Jerrari/movies/watchitrun.wmv .......... Close up Gallery http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1969_Jerrari/extras/closeups/ More Full Body Gallery http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1969_Jerrari/extras/fullbody/ .......... Or get _all_ of those, and all the pics from the ebay auction (probably duplicates from the gallery, but I'm not going to sort through them), at http://dsblack.public.iastate.edu/temp-jerrari/ I'll probably leave them up for a week or so. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would "off-beige" be white? - -------------- Dan Black ------------------------- dan-at-black.org -------------- ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #3162 **************************
