I had a '67 Plymouth Satellite--

positraction--- bought it brand new and
sold it in 1973 for a new piece of shit Mercury-
my first and last Ford product--
Lucky I didn't kill myself in that machine--for sure !!
Would have loved to have a Road Runner though.

Every time I hear "positraction" my gear shift, shifts a bit because I think of .....

The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!

I got hooked last year.

To many damn ads, and me being a muscle car guy ...... to many old boats that I dont give a crap about. Best to Tivo, or dvr, then watch with the remote in hand. That way you can cut through 3 hours in about 45 minutes.

Its amazing the prices some of these cars fetch, but more amazing is the money Barrett Jackson rakes in. Take a look at their website some time.

$500.00 for right to bid.
10% commision to be paid on the purchase price.
$200-$2500 for the right to sell, depending on your place in line, and the day.
8% commision paid on the selling price.
$12-$45 just to walk in, kick a few tires and watch folks spend some serious cash. Tire kickers also spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars on all the logo crap they can get their hands on.

All this and their program drives up the cost of p/p muscle car sales all over the U.S.
