68 Firebird
#1
One of these
came into BK Drive thru last night. 1968 Pontiac Firebird. It was a darker dull red though. In awesome shape by the looks on the outside. Funny thing he pulls into the drive thru guy couldn't hear him ordering so asked him to turn the engine off. He did, he ordered, he tried to start the car after to pull around and it wouldn't start [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] all he got was turn key click turn key click. We had to push him back into the parking lot he sat in our drive thru for 10mins tryin to start it. You would think someone with a car nicely taken care of like that and that kind of car at that knows a bit about cars, this guy knew nothing. Maybe he was drivin daddies car the girl he was with looked in her 20's so who know's. He was in our parking lot for an hour and a half till someone finally arrived to help him out lol. Poor guy or rather Poor Car lol
Someone mentioned they thought he had an audio system in it and thought maybe he drained the battery or the battery died rather. But when the battery dies and you try to start your car your engine still chokes or whatever this guy got nothing but a click.

That's a '68 firebird. The '78 looks like the one from the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies.
But I know what you mean.
Maybe that was his angle; "Well baby, the car's dead. Whatever could we do in the meantime?......" (enter cheesy 70's **** music here)

I have a Mustang I drive on sunny days and warm summer nights. So been there done that. I have had it where I've let the Stang sit too long and have had to boost it to get it rollin, drove it what I thought was long enough maybe stop for an ice cream come out and click, click. So what I have learned is to put the charger on it the night before and this has solve the somewhat embarrasing problem.

-- could be battery but I had the same problem this spring and after changing the battery which was old anyway, I found out it was the starter.
Western Starter on Annacis Island (under the Knight street bridge in Vancouver) gave me a great deal.

Pffft, 67 yea, that's like saying a 2005 Corvette is better than a 63 split window.
Actually it's not even close and I HATE Corvettes.
I'd also take just about ANY Mustang from 64 to 73. Anything in between those numbers is NOT a real Mustang.
