Sweet Jesus Dom. That's the car Quentin and George Clooney had in From Dusk Till Dawn! You never see these cars. They look so badass and futuristic. Good luck with it, and that's a sweet 686!

the car is done minus paint, and it needs a new steering box as you can see by the leak under the ole girl! it needs zero body work. all the panels are pristine and the interior is flawless minus one small tear in the shoulder of the drivers seat.
Im entertaining offers on it as well! You never see a big block cougar, you could see a hundred or so mustangs and not see a single cougar. Car is Black on Black.

Finally got myself a 1911 this afternoon - SW1911 Pro Series in 9mm. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, probably making an evening trip to the indoor range to break it in.
Very Nice... And it is in 9MM no less. I will have to look into getting me one of those. I would love to hear how it shoots. I'm off to a great start. I already have that exact PEN.

In my initial run last night it shot great - fed everything, trigger was nice, little recoil, and very accurate. I'm planning on bringing it out again soon to give it a more thorough evaluation.
Dom, Very Cool, Looks to be in great shape for it's age. Interior looks clean, engine also look pretty good too. How extensive a restoration are you planning on doing? You looking to go for factory original or something Hot Rod like?
My biggest issue with the trigger is that in SA, the trigger is *loose* ... as in you can flick it forward and back about 1/2". The SA trigger pull itself is fine, though a little long (in my opinion) given that the reset is SO short. Also, the DA pull is a bit too long for my taste, as well. To be honest, I don't think there's more than 500 rounds through this thing (100 were courtesy of me). Will any of my complaints be alleviated once it's actually broken in?
As for others, I always knew I'd start with a 3913, have always loved the look. I think a 5906 or 6906 is probably next, with a CS9 or CS45 to follow ... unless someone is looking to unload a CS9 or CS45 on the cheap. :-D
Well, its super clean straight out the barn. I did a full mechanical restoration, engine has been rebuilt, trans rebuilt, rear end done, all new brakes and brake components, and the interior is like brand new. Im leaving it as original as possible, minus the little lumpier cam and a larger carb with an electric choke.

I'm very interested in what you think of the 3913. I have read some posts that seem very positive.
I purchased one many years ago, then got seriously tied up in some personal issues. Needless to say it has never once been out of the original box.
Only, recently found it when I was digging for some paperwork out of the safe. Tough to get old. You tend to forget things after a while.

Like I promised, I picked up my truck a half hour ago from the dealership!!! It was a tough choice between the 2012 Frontier 4x4 Crew Cab V6, the F150, and the Chevy Silverado. My parents have a 2004 Yukon which can tow 12,000 lbs so I can use that if I needed to tow that much. The F-150 has a slightly bigger engine option but I didn't need the towing capacity or big engine. The Frontier just had a better test drive IMHO and I ended up with a great truck. I think it's the best midsize truck on today's market and the ride is not too smooth and not too tough. Now I have more room for my rifles and shotguns! ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
ColdDayInHell, Very Nice.... Good luck with your new purchase.
Now, go get your gun vault bolted into the frame somewhere in the inside back area. Actually you should get two. One for the ammo & one for your CCW when required.

Great pick-up (pun intended) CDIH!!
Thanks, I love it. I have been getting stares already, it's just begging to get keyed. The cargo light is very bright, when I hit unlock it lights up the whole perimeter of the truck. I tried to find one of many NRA stickers I have laying around but I can't find one! I need an NES sticker, NRA, and GOAL. Thanks for the comments and rep's everybody.

Could you tell if the stares are for the new truck or the driver behind the wheel...
The truck is blinding shiny and I've been driving for 7 years, this being my 2nd black vehicle. I doubt it's just my paranoia, but I could be wrong. I need to throw a hitch ball on it so I impale drivers who rearend me.

No NES sticker, but I have GOAL and NRA one. You can have it if interested.

I can't say, since I've never noticed bad trigger feel in any of my 3rd generation guns. The trigger is one of the things that most people rave about.
I've been looking at a conversion for a while, how does it run?Picked up a .22 conversion for my gen4 Glock 19.
Is that a 795 marlin sir? fine gun if i do say so!
That looks more like a Marlin Model 60. The 795's have a removable magazine. This one is a tube.
ETA: Nice rifle BerkshireHunter.
