If you don't know what
transmission I'm talking about, click here
and
here and here.
Okay, I don't know if you're interested in
this, but here is a video of Bob trying to explain what is wrong with our
transmission. It's a pretty short video, but you'll get a feel for this guy.
What the video doesn't show is Bob managed to find original parts, in spite of the fact that this transmission is unique to this kind
of car and was only produced for a couple of years. He found an original transmission kit with all the gaskets and
everything, and a number of other parts we need as well. They were shipped from back East where
"there's this guy" he knows. The parts are very cool, still in their 1962
packaging.
The parts are $450, which is amazing
considering what he had to go through to get them.
I thought this was funny: When I asked him how
he got the transmission kit, he chuckled, paused, said "anyway," and then kept
right on telling what was in the kit. Bob was not about to give up his secret
connections.
How many times can I say "Wow?"
Obviously I have
NO idea what he's talking about.
1962 Olds F-85 transmission kit. Possibly the only
one left in the world, and Bob found it.
Okay, enough on the transmission. I'm still
working on compiling the movie list. Check back on that.
