Honorable Mention, 04/05 - Although I confess this one was a bit risky for me.
 
When I was a paramedic we had a call for a beer truck (1 ton pulling a goose neck trailer) in the river. A nice mountain stream. Our VFD brought two guys to do traffic control (two lane blacktop), and 3 guys to help us stabilize the wreck and extract the driver, plus 12 guys to salvage beer being washed down stream in the spring run off. All that summer as the level went down, people kept finding six-packs tucked under tree roots and cut banks while fishing the river. The guy lived.
 
This is one sitting around the corner from me. It hadn't moved for 7 years, until two weeks ago. They pulled it out of the driveway because they sold the house and were moving. All they did was move it out, empty the garage and put it back in the driveway. Now it has been sitting in front of an empty house for two weeks. It's not a real 6 Pack car, it's a 383 4spd car. I have never seen the truck move or seen a live person at the house until they were moving.

That's an A12 hood. So, they either faked and put the A12 hood on, removed the 440 six pack, (fun fact, because it's a Plymouth, it's called 6 bbl... the 69 Dodge Super Bee was the first to use "six pack" label and it stuck for all cars. The identical Road Runner used "6 bbl"), and then swapped a 383. There may be another explanation, but that hood does not go with anything else but a 440-6.

It's not a real A12 hood, it has the wrong body line in the center and is single layer hand laid fiberglass that isn't even trimmed around the edges. The 69 Road Runner was the car of the year in 1969 and went by 440+6. The VIN on that Superbee is WM23H9, it is definitely an original 383 4spd car.

You know, I can appreciate a well done tribute car (like a Yenko Camaro) but I hate fakers like that. It has more value just being what it originally was.

I never was into boats, although I do appreciate them. Cars, motorcycles, audio, and firearms have been my jam for a long time.

McIntosh C1100 tube preamp with McIntosh solid state 1.2KW mono amps running Wilson Audio Alexia II speakers. The KW’s are most likely an updated 1250? Music source is a Linn Klimax DS streamer.
I'm too poor to even read this. But damn, that's a helluva setup.
