WL: 1975 K5 (previously "Another new (to me) K5.")

So I could not find the title for this. Looked all over hell. So I called the DMV, and gave them the VIN. They gave me the name of the previous owner (his name and number were in my old phone, and it broke....). So I searched the guys name, and luckily he still has a land line telephone. Weird. Anyway, I called him and left a message on his answering machine. He called me back later that day and said he would get me a duplicate title when he got into town. I got lucky there.

What's the name of the factory color? Definitely something I'd consider painting my K10.

Yuba Gold according to the RPO sticker in the glove box.

Well, I found the title. Called the guy back and said not to bother getting a duplicate.

It was right where I asked my little brother to look and he said it wasn't.....

So for $62.10 I now have it plated and titled in my name. Insurance is about $110 a year.

Don't you hate that? Good that you found it though.

Age is probably a factor, not to mention there's probably some sort of fleet discount.

Antique and you are only allowed to drive it on holidays or parades here iirc

How does it run with the 396!??

 

[82355]

I have FARM TRUCK plates on it. I have those on everything except my party bus, which has MOBILE HOME plates.

Also, it was so much to tag it because I had to pay sales tax and pay for the new title.

Tenn 90 bucks i think it was, antique tag weekends and to and from shows, perfect for me but I drive the 74k5 around town weather permitting during the week and they dont bother me. They are more interested in the full convertable.

 

[82355]

Oh I have FARM TRUCK plates. No restrictions other than pulling loads for commercial reasons.

Threw on some overpriced, ****ty Wild Country 33x12.50x15's on a set of OEM white spokes. Drove it home. Did burnout for John. Pics maybe later.

Martin

 

[y5mgisi]

Neato!

 

[79rustyk10]

Some burnout pics would be pretty sweet.

 

[82355]

Crappy old Wild Country 33x12.50x15's on a set of 15x8" OEM white spokes I had blasted and painted. I need to get center caps for them.



Pulled out of the shop.



Burn out picture for John.

Here is after I stopped, and let the smoke clear for a little bit.



Then I jumped out and took a couple.







Back left tire.



Then I went in the house and showered. Cleaned up and headed to the bar to go to work for the night. A couple hours after the burnout, I got a call that my house was on fire. So I took off and headed home. When I got there the volunteer fire department was already there and had it out. It was also not my house.

Apparently I should not have done the burnout. It must have got some grass smoldering, and it started a grass fire. Oops...............
