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.

The 1250's are MB1.25KWs. I'm getting a feel that you have the previous version the 1.2s. I have never been introduced formerly to quality streamers but I will be doing so.

I hate to admit but I need several relatives, somewhat rich ones, to will their estates to me, simultaneously, to be able to afford the Wilsons. I could get 2 hand built, concours condition, Mercedes Benz's for that kind of cash. I'd get more "grin" out of them.

I see lots of other goodies too. sound processor, preamp? Pics of cabling?
Yes, my 1.2KW's are the predecessor to the MC1.25KW's. I didn't realize the 1250 nomenclature was the same. My 1.2KW's are around 5 years old. In addition to the 2 channel equipment list previously, I'm running a McIntosh MX 122 A/V Processor, MC 205 amplifier, Sony UHD Blue Ray player, Wilson Audio center channel, JL Audio Subwoofer, and Apple 4K Tv. All of my interconnects and cabling are Atlas from Scotland.
