Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda
Hemi? Yes. Original? Nope. Does it matter? This 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda for sale on Hemmings.com has all of its original equipment other than the 383 that powered it from the factory and that blew up somewhere along the way. So if it will never be 100 percent original again, why not swap in a built crate Hemi topped with a Shaker hoodscoop rather than a service replacement block? From the seller's description:
The car comes with 2 original broadcast sheets in mint condition and I have enclosed those pictures. I am also including the appraisal that was executed when restoration was complete in 2007 and it was valued at $125,000. I know the market has come down a bit, thus the current listing price. I bought the car here in Ohio. This car was purchased from the previous owner out of California, who fully restored the car from 2005-2007. There is a pile 3" thick that includes ALL of the receipts for every part that was replaced or repaired and I will include them in the deal. The gentlemen who executed the restoration in California had a simple goal: restore this 71 Cuda back to its original specs on the fender tag/build sheets, upgrade the block to a beefier Hemi, and make it street reliable to drive everyday in California weather. This car is factory original, to a tee…except for the 2 major upgrades: the Hemi and the Shaker hood….cool additions, I might add! When the factory issued block and tranny were blown long ago, the owner took the car in an awesome direction. Although we don't have the original driveline, this thing is bullet proof and wicked fast! The original fender tags (it had 2 from the factory due to being a highly optioned car) are on the car and the codes are listed for you below. I have tried to include a picture of the VIN and the matching stamping on the firewall, but it's a bit blurry. I also have both original broadcast sheets for you, in order to back up the factory issued direction of the car. I have listed the fender tag codes below for you, just in case anything is illegible in the pictures:
Tag 1:
Tag 2:
Restoration/Paint/Body: On a scale of 1-10 (and I'm a tough critic), this car is a 2+. Why is it not a 1……because I put my kids in it and drive it to local Mopar car shows…….it gets driven a little. Not banged on….cruised with 2 little kids in the back. In my mind, it would be a 1 if it were a total trailer queen. The paint job is 8 years old, but it looks awesome….as you can see in the attached pictures. There are 2 spots the size of a fingernail that we touched up because someone nicked the paint….nothing major. One is on the hood and another is back by the driver's side back bumper. I'm telling you because I'm not the guy who likes surprises, not because they are a big deal. Most people may not even notice them. The car had all of the chrome re-dipped or replaced. Look closely at the pictures….the chrome isn't pitted and it's flawless! This is a rare rubber bumper car and they are in great shape. These grills and the gills on this car are typically broken or damaged….none of that here. The car was equipped with a space saver spare and the correct jacks are in the trunk as well. I have nothing to hide here….this is a beautiful car!
Interior: All original interior with new Legendary skins. All interior parts, decals, and knobs were replaced or re-chromed to look like new…..stunning. The gages were professionally rebuilt during the restoration and they are functional. Rare, orange Houndstooth bucket seats look awesome! The reverse light and dome light even work! Nothing is cracked, broken, etc. The dashboard is a new Just Dashes unit and not warped, etc. This was an automatic car so with that wood-grained console and Slapstick shifter, staring you straight in the face. This was a high-optioned, bucket seat car with new carpet, a rim-blow steering wheel etc. The window cranks are spotless, etc. All factory seat belts are in the car and functional. The radio is an original Chrysler AM/FM radio, rebuilt with modern electronics to handle the cd changer that he added in the trunk….and it all works too. The previous owner wanted to add the ability to take the car on long trips and cruise with a lot of tunes. This was a tastefully placed upgrade that gives the car an additional creature comfort.
Driveline: As stated earlier, this car does not have the original driveline. If you haven't done so already, when you check the VIN you'll find out that it was originally a 383 car. This wasn't a BH car that had a 318….this was a factory issued, big-block Cuda that got a HUGE upgrade with the new Hemi. I have included a copy of one of the many receipts that shows the previous owner spent over $17k…just to buy the new 472 Hemi block and the parts. So, the car now has a Mopar crate 472 Hemi that was blueprinted, ported, and polished by Ollie Hellert Racing Engines. It now produces 557 horsepower with OE Dual quad intake and correct valve covers. This car rumbles with new TTI headers, 3" TTI exhaust, H pipe, and 3" TTI tips The 8 ¾", Sure Grip posi rear end was rebuilt and does its job well. All suspension components have been replaced and the shocks were upgraded to KYB replacements with new bushings throughout and original sway bar. The front suspension was completely rebuilt with all new components. Steer and Gear ultra firm feel steering box performs well. Although the car is driven, it looks quite nice underneath with all of these new parts. The wheels and tires are new 15×7 ralleys in the front and 15×8 ralleys in the rear with 245/60/15 and 255/60/15 tires in the front and rear. This car is wicked fast, aggressive sounding, shifts hard enough to snap your neck, stops well, and handles smoothly.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1958 Plymouth resto rod
Without any indication from the seller or side trim or nameplates to go by, we'd just be taking a stab at the exact model of this 1958 Plymouth four-door for sale on Hemmings.com (Savoy, we're guessing). But the model is really secondary nowadays, given that the owner of the car has restomodded it with the incongruous combination of taxi-anonymous looks on the outside and a modern Hemi V-8 under the hood. From the seller's description:
Recently completed body-off restoration. Was fitted with a modern 5.7L Dodge Hemi motor with electronic fuel injection and drive-by wire gas pedal. Trans is the 545RFE automatic used by Dodge trucks (made by Mercedez). Dana 60 limited slip differential. Suspension completely overhauled. Front disk brakes. Digital auxilliary guages and custom floor auto shift linkage. Completely stainless exaust with flowmaster and cats. Every nut/bolt is new stainless. Chassis powdercoated. Beautiful red and white tuck'n roll interior with chrome piping around seats.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 5.0L Daimler hemi V-8
Though it looks like the 2.5-liter V-8 used in the Daimler SP250, this Daimler Hemi V-8 for sale on Hemmings.com boasts about double the displacement after it was bored and stroked from its original "big" Daimler V-8 specifications (4,561 cubic centimeters, worth about 220 horsepower) to the same specs that Jaguar Technical Director William Heynes suggested the company use for its Mk X (5.0 liters, estimated 280-290 horsepower). Jaguar never built such a car, but this engine in a Mk X could make for a historically accurate replica of that prototype. From the seller's description:
original big Daimler V8 hemi which has been built to original factory experimental specification from the sixties, as installed in a prototype Jaguar Mk X. Weighing a mere 498 lbs, it has been bored and stroked to 5 litres (305 ci) with special forged pistons, blue printed and balanced. All aluminum parts are polished, all bearings, gaskets, valves etc. are brand new. The water pump and carburetors (opposed 2" SU HD8) have been rebuilt and the whole engine has been assembled by a very experienced Jaguar engine specialist. The engine is complete with all accessories – power steering pump, fan, air filter canister and element, exhaust manifolds, all brackets and engine mounts. Also included with this engine are an additional new old stock water pump and an additional intake manifold which could be modified for 4 bbl or Weber carburetors or throttle body or 8 stack fuel injection. Perfect for a sleeper Daimler SP250, a 250 V8 or a hot rod.

Four-Links – on the Hemi's development, the Cado, VW EA266, restaurants in former garages
Photo by Teddy Pieper, courtesy Mecum Auctions.
* As part of its celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Street Hemi last year, Allpar made sure to speak to as many people involved with the Hemi's development as possible, including Engine design leader Willem Weertman, street engine tuning chief Pete Hagenbuch, Roger Meiners, Mike Buckel, Ed Poplawski, and Tom Hoover. Some interesting interviews in there for Mopar fans.
* "Cleveland's most rakish sports car" isn't exactly the highest honor in the world (why not "Ohio's most rakish sports car?" Was there a more rakish one in Wapakoneta?), but it was one that Johnny Campbell and Elbert Dooley aspired to with their 1952 Cado homebuilt Olds-powered sports car. Geoff Hacker at SportCustom.com has more.
* It might look like a funny sort of Honda CVCC, but as Torchinsky detailed this week, the EA266 prototype was actually a Porsche-designed mid-engined potential VW Beetle replacement that came pretty close to reality until all prototypes and records of its existence were vigorously destroyed by Volkswagen.
* It's not just Quaker Steak and Lube. Preservation Nation recently rounded up a handful of restaurants and other eateries housed in former garages and gas stations, including the Garage Grill and Fuel Bar in Michigan, above.
* Finally, one more bit of auto-related architecture news this week. Missouri recently decided to close the Gasconade River Bridge – a big deal to Route 66 enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the Mother Road and who note that the closing of the bridge would interrupt what's left of the route.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1940 Willys gasser
Most of the new gasser builds we see nowadays sacrifice some of the outright straight-line performance aspects of the gassers of old for some measure of streetability. This 1940 Willys gasser for sale on Hemmings.com – which, lacking any provenance in the description, appears to have been a recent build – might be street legal, but looks as though the builder made as few concessions to streetworthiness as possible to maintain the look and feel of an old-school gasser. From the seller's description:
Frame and all body parts original to this car. Rebuilt 1957 392 Hemi Muncie 4 speed transmission 57 Olds posse rearend 390 gear 671 blower old Hillborn 4 port injection converted to electronic All front suspension chrome Real Aircraft Bomber Seats Real Halibrand Magnesium Rims Old Western Auto Headlight Bezels I have the original headlight covers and grills for the car. And an old usable hood. This car has no power steering, no power brakes, no air conditioning, but it is one awesome ride.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1952 Chrysler New Yorker
The seller of this Hemi-powered 1952 Chrysler New Yorker four-door sedan listed on Hemmings.com seems almost apologetic about the Mexican-blanket upholstery covering the beat-up original interior, but it all seems a part with the bare steel wheels, the lettering, and the select accessories adorning the car. That is, this isn't a car for serious competition, whether on the show field or under power; instead, it's a car for driving for just the pure pleasure of driving. From the seller's description:
This "semi auto" car has the original 331 1st series Hemi in it. Fluid Torque Drive. Mechanically perfect. Alternator added for better power. All original, unrestored. Carrera Nevada veteran (the Carrera placards on the back doors are magnets I had made from the originals), as well as Four Corners. Great history. Some period graphics were added, but they can be buffed off if you don't like it. Interior in great shape. No rust. New wheel bearings, brake cylinders and custom exhaust. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere. Motor original and untouched. Generator was done away with and alternator was added for better power. Only thing that does not work is clock. I have the original hubcaps for it. Front seat and top of back seat are kind of beat up, hence the Mex blankets.
This is a strong-running original car with its original Hemi 331ci. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. Has zero issues.
This car was formerly owned by Martin Swig, who was the San Fran Chronicle auto writer for years. He sat on the board at Pebble and co-founded the Cannonball Rally.
My family and I have used it for shows for the last four years, but now it's time to move on. I have other cars and bikes and just no room now.

Engine builder Ed Pink presented with Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award
Photo courtesy Ed Pink.
Though largely known for his drag racing Hemis, the engines that Ed Pink built over the last 60-plus years have won races in a wide variety of motorsports, from midget racing all the way up to Indy car racing. That adaptability and Pink's longetivity, not to mention his capability, this earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Petersen Automotive Museum, presented at last week's SEMA show.
Pink, who many call "The Old Master," began building engines in 1948 under the tutelage of Lou Baney after attending trade school in Los Angeles. It was there that he first became proficient in building Chrysler's Hemi V-8 for drag racing purposes. "We ran our own dragster, then we got some pretty good guys to drive for us, like Mike Snively, Tom McEwen, and Connie Swingle," he told Jim Donnelly for a profile on him in Hemmings Muscle Machines #28. Because Hemis at the time were so prevalent, "we'd buy all the 392s we could, tear 'em apart and have 30 to 40 blocks to sell."

Over the next decade, Pink would work for hot rodding legends Eddie Meyer and Vic Edelbrock, but in 1957 he decided to open his own shop. At first, he specialized in cylinder heads and ignition, but as the popularity of drag racing grew, so did his business and his reputation for building winning engines. During the drag racing heyday, he counted among his customers such drag racing superstars as Don Prudhomme, Don Garlits, Tommy Ivo and Shirley Muldowney. Complete Ed Pink-built Top Fuel engines went for as much as $7,500 in the early 1970s.
Then in about 1980, Pink focused his attention elsewhere after noticing that the top drag racers had started to hire their own in-house engine builders, funded by major sponsorship contracts. He remained in the engine building business, however, applying his talents to midgets, stock cars, and even to the Indy car efforts of racers such as Al Unser and Roger Mears. As Petrolicious noted in a look at the Ed Pink Racing Engine business last year, Pink also dabbled in building engines for IMSA and Le Mans prototype racing, and NASCAR drivers such as Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne have driven cars powered by his engines.

Pink continued to run his business until selling it to Tom Malloy in 2008 and these days runs Ed Pink's Garage with Bob Brandt, a shop that, if anything, seems devoted to a wider range of projects, including restoration, street rod construction, and research and development work.
"Ed Pink rarely found a branch of motorsports that he was unable to excel in," the press release announcing the award noted. "No matter the challenge, The Old Master rose to meet it, and it is because of that sense of determination, track record of success, and a legendary kind streak that Ed Pink was chosen as this year's Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award winner."

Pink had been inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2012.
Previous winners of the Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award include Carroll Shelby, George Barris, Andy Granatelli, The Ford Family, Vic Edelbrock, Jack Roush, Ed "Isky" Iskenderian, Bill "Speedy" Smith, Alex Xydias and Wally Parks.
Four-Links – scale scenes, concept cars to revive, M/T hemi Ford, Papineau Cougar
* We've found the Michael Paul Smith of the off-road world, and now the Michael-Paul Smith of the European rallying scene. Instagram user takupon0816 creates incredibly detailed dioramas featuring mostly vintage cars slideways while rallying that, in some cases, look like nothing less than an actual historic rally photo. (via)
* Jive-Bomber at the Jalopy Journal asked this week which concept cars should be re-created, throwing out a few ideas, including the L'Universelle. It's a valid question, and we have to wonder why (other than the expense and the time involved) more Fifties concept cars haven't been replicated.
* The common misconception about the hemi heads that Mickey Thompson built for Ford V-8s in the Fifties was that they were simply reworked versions of Chrysler's 392 hemi. Not so, writes Bill McGuire at Mac's Motor City Garage, with plenty of details of what made the M/T hemi heads unique.
* Geoff Hacker at Forgotten Fiberglass doesn't merely point out all the strange and wonderful mystery fiberglass cars of the Fifties, he also solves a few of those mysteries, as he did this week when he answered Darren Swanson's long-standing question about a Kaiser-chassised mystery car.
* Finally, Engine Swap Depot this week brought us the story of a Volkswagen Jetta with a VR6 up front – not bad, not bad – and a W8 where the rear seat used to be – resulting in perhaps the world's only 14-cylinder Jetta.
How does the 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger stack up against its modern equivalents?

The past, sometimes, is more fondly remembered in the present. While most of us pine for the days of cheap gas and affordable muscle cars, it's no secret that today's muscle cars are capable of jaw-dropping performance off the dealer's showroom floor, yet still come complete with a factory warranty and are capable of reasonable functionality as daily drivers. All the hype surrounding the upcoming release of the 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat Challenger got us thinking: How does this modern muscle car stack up against the 1970 Dodge Challenger, equipped with the legendary 426-cu.in. "Street Hemi" engine?
"Foul," the most astute Mopar fans would cry, "The Elephant engine was normally aspirated, while Dodge is using forced induction chicanery to squeeze 707 horses from the Hellcat." Point well taken, and to that end, we're also considering last year's top-shelf Challenger SRT in the comparison, which sported a normally aspirated 392-cu.in. V-8 beneath its hood. In fact, this Challenger is likely the most direct analog for the Hemi-powered 1970 Challenger, but we're including the Hellcat simply because it is, at the moment, the pinnacle of the Challenger product line, horsepower-wise.
Photo by Jeff Koch.
First, let's take a trip into the past. In 1970, one could walk into a Dodge dealership and special-order a Challenger R/T with the 426-cu.in., 425-horsepower (gross; the net rating would have been around 350 horsepower) Hemi V-8 engine. Doing so required the purchase of a Challenger R/T ($3,266.00 for the hardtop model) and the E74 Hemi V-8 engine ($778.75); however, checking the option box for the Elephant engine also required the ordering of the A34 Super Track Pak (including a 4.10:1 rear end ratio, a 9 ¾-inch Dana rear end, a Sure-Grip differential, a seven-blade Torque Drive fan, a high-performance radiator with fan shroud, and power disc brakes), for $236.65; a four-speed manual transmission (although the TorqueFlite automatic was also available at a higher price), for $194.85; and a collapsible spare tire, for $12.95. All told, the sticker price of such a bare-bones model would have totaled $4,488.20, or the equivalent of $27,559.63 in current money (according to the U.S. Department of Labor's CPI Inflation Calculator).
Photo by Jeff Koch.
As delivered, the Challenger would have been 191 inches long, 76 inches wide and 51 inches high. The car's front track would have measured roughly 60 inches, the rear approximately 61 inches, and the car would have weighed in at about 3,402 pounds. Performance wise, the Hemi Challenger, with its 490 pound-feet of torque, would have taken roughly six seconds to sprint from 0-60 MPH, running through the quarter mile (on stock tires) in around 14 seconds at a trap speed in the 104 MPH range, at least according to the in-period review from Road Test cited in our July 2011 feature on a Hemi-equipped 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T that captured our Muscle Car of the Year award.
Photo by Jeff Koch.
As for other specifications, we were unable to locate data on braking or road holding, but to be honest, a Hemi Challenger was built for the sole purpose of going fast in a straight line. Those interested in speed, cornering and braking would have ordered a Challenger T/A, which was better equipped for the road course than the drag strip. As for fuel economy, we were also unable to find data, but suffice it to say that low double-digit numbers may have been theoretically achievable with a light right foot and plenty of short shifting. Warranty coverage was deliberately curtailed on Hemi-equipped cars as well, since Dodge knew exactly how (and where) these models would be driven. Instead of the standard five-year, 50,000 mile powertrain warranty, Hemi Challengers received a 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty that was valid for the original owner only.

Fast forward to 2014, where $40,485 is the minimum price of admission for a 392-cu.in. Hemi Challenger carrying the SRT badge. The modern car measures 7 inches longer overall (198 inches, versus 191), carries the same 76-inch width and has an overall height 6 inches higher (57 inches, versus 51). The track has widened to 63 inches in front and 63.1 in the rear, and the weight has ballooned by 800 pounds, with the contemporary Challenger tipping the scales at 4,231 pounds. Horsepower from the 392-cu.in. Hemi V-8 has reached 470, but torque has dropped by 20 pound-feet and now measures 470 pound-feet.

When the accelerator is depressed with authority, the Challenger SRT can run from 0-60 MPH in just under five seconds, on its way to a quarter-mile time of 13 seconds on street tires. Despite such impressive numbers, the modern normally aspirated Challenger can return fuel economy as high as 23 MPG on the highway, and its powertrain warranty coverage runs for five years or 100,000 miles (although make no mistake; manufacturers can and will void warranty coverage for vehicles that have been used for "competition purposes"). Among the current crop of Big Three muscle cars, the Challenger, even in SRT trim, is the car you'd most like to drive from coast to coast; it's quick, but it's also surprisingly comfortable.

Potential price gouging aside, in a few months, buyers will be able to stroll into an SRT-approved Dodge dealer, plunk $60,590 down on the counter and say, "I'd like a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, please." Doing so will get one a Challenger of roughly the same dimensions (though one inch lower and with a curb weight of 4,488 pounds, a gain of 257 pounds over the Challenger SRT8), but equipped with a supercharged 370-cu.in. Hemi V-8 capable of producing 707 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. According to Car and Driver, the Challenger Hellcat will dash to 60 MPH in 3.6 seconds and run the quarter-mile in a time of 11.7 seconds, at a trap speed of 126 MPH. Driving the blower alone will require 80 horsepower, or roughly the total output of a 1980s economy car, and to keep things reasonable on the street, the car will be limited to 500 horsepower unless a special "red key" is used in the ignition.
Photo courtesy Chrysler Group, LLC.
Other data on the Hellcat, such as fuel economy and warranty coverage, has yet to be released by Chrysler, but word is that the Hellcat will deliver fuel economy comparable to the SRT8, at least when driven conservatively, and we'd be surprised if the automaker shortened the powertrain warranty by any significant amount.

Styling preferences aside, perhaps the biggest drawback to the new Challenger models is their complexity. By evolution or by design, there are very few user-serviceable parts beneath the hood of a modern automobile, and most tuning is performed with a laptop computer instead of dwell meter, timing light and screwdriver (though on the Hellcat, Chrysler has reportedly "locked" the ECU, meaning tuners will need to provide a new computer to make more horsepower). Though mechanical purists may balk, to those just cutting their teeth on performance cars, used to a world ruled by computers and lucky enough to afford the $40,485 – $60,590 price of admission, this may very well be the golden age of the muscle car.
On the other hand, there's much to be said for the original body design, powered by a legendary V-8 (or legendary V-8s, if you also count the 440, 383 and 340) that can still be tuned and repaired with hand tools. Which version of the Challenger is better? That, we suppose, depends entirely on one's perspective.
Numbers-matching Hemi 'Cuda convertible sells for record-setting $3.5 million

Just 11 convertible Hemi 'Cudas were built by Plymouth for the 1971 model year, and of these, only seven were originally sold in the United States. Two of these seven were equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, and only one of the pair retains its original, numbers-matching drivetrain. On Saturday, the combination paid big dividends for the owner of that particular 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible, as the car sold for a record-setting hammer price of $3.5 million in Seattle.

According to Mecum Auctions, this is the highest price ever paid for a 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda sold at auction, and also makes the car the most expensive Mopar to ever cross the auction stage. It took just eight minutes for the car to reach $3.5 million from its opening bid of $400,000, and the pre-auction estimate of "in the $4 million range" proved to be surprisingly accurate, particularly after buyers fees are added to the selling price.
Of note were a number of high-profile Corvettes which bid high at the auction but didn't sell, including a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 coupe, which bid to $3.7 million, a price that would have set a new auction record for Corvettes with premiums figured in; a 1969 Corvette L88, which bid to $400,000; and the last first-generation Corvette, a 1962 convertible, which bid to $150,000.

Another car that did well in Seattle was a fully restored 1958 Buick Limited convertible, which sold for a hammer price of $150,000. Introduced atop the Buick range for the 1958 model year, the Limited series was available in four-door hardtop, two-door hardtop and convertible form. While 7,436 Limiteds were built during the car's first year, just 839 of these were in convertible form, and the car's list price of $5,125 made it the most expensive offering in Buick's 1958 model lineup.

Isle of Jura Turas Mara
100cl / 42%
- Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
- Distillery Bottling
Originally a travel retail exclusive, Turas Mara is Scots Gaelic for long journey and honours the islanders who emigrated to North America during the 18th and 19th centuries. Matured in a mixture of bourbon barrels, sherry butts, French oak casks and port pipes, this is a fruity and complex whisky that's just a bit too moreish.
Isle of Jura Turas Mara Reviews
11 Customer Reviews
one of the best so far from Jura
Recommended by the sales guy at duty free but a very good buy ..smooth yet complex and lasting taste
Great for a dumpy fall afternoon. Very soft at palate with long during. Brings me back at those smoky and cosy pubs in Glasgow. Sl?inte mhath
I''ve found my whisky home. Jura Turas Mara is exactly what I''m looking for. Excellent whisky, almost too hard to describe. Stumbled on it in duty free some months ago and now insist that my international friends bring it to me when I can''t get it myself. Delightful experience!
No name for this : WONDERFUL ! My first Jura was the "Superstition" i had the chance my wife offers me this fantastic Whisky to taste in a wonderfull Hotel in Namur : The Royal Snail. Now I would like to visit this distillery in Scotland, whishfull thinking.....
Amazingly complex, and it really is moreish. You can't beat the price/quality ratio.
This is my 4th bottle of this. Can't get enough of it. The depth of flavour is excellent, very rich and satisfying taste. Found it first in airport. Been buying ever since. So glad I can get it online now.
I picked a bottle of this up on a Channel Ferry...I think it's my new favourite! Lovely stuff!
Sweet, fragrant with a aniseed hint as an after taste.. consistency of Drambui
First taste this evening,a wonderful dram,have tasted Superstition and have a couple of 16 year old bottles waiting too

If you have never used it, you can follow the instructions for the
Vagrant Perl Development Environment.
If you already have the previous version installed, you can follow the instructions
to upgrade PDE.
The source on GitHub.
This reminded me that it would be nice if I could configure Travis-CI to use a flag such as 'latest_production' that will always use the latest version of perl available in Travis-CI so when the finally add 5.22 the "latest_production" will automatically pick up that version.
It would be also great to have 'blead' that would use blead perl for testing.
Is any of these possible today?
For example you can check out the Perl tutorial, the Beginner Perl video course, or the project building an open source clone of search.cpan.org.]]>
YAPC::NA in Salt Lake City gained more than 100 additional participants in the last 30 days, but they used a PR firm. I wonder if YAPC::EU will also get another 100 people. I try to log the numbers for future reference, but I am not sure how to help the organizers reaching more people.
The list of talks is certainly interesting and there are also the courses (and I hope my course will attract a number of people who would just want to learn AngularJS and as a side effect I can show them Perl as well.
In the course I am going to teach web application development using Perl Dancer and MongoDB in the back-end, and AngularJS in the front-end.
Actually, we are going to see a version of the front-end code using plain HTML with JQuery and Handlebars, and then another version using AngularJS.
There are still places left in the course.
I wonder, have you or the company where you work ever used it? Would your company be ready to offer bounties for fixing specific issues in a CPAN module or even in core perl? (bugs or new features alike.)
Would such bounties be a better way for TPF to spend their grant-money?
You can also search for directory names such as js or css.
Let me know if you find something strange!
Oh and if you'd like to learn how to build the client side of the web application, register on the course I run before YAPC::EU.]]>
One of the reasons to build this is to provide material for the Web Application Development course I am offering at YAPC::EU. This is a single-page application using jQuery, Handlebars and Kube.
Another reason is to provide a playground for myself and for others to create potentially interesting pages based on the MetaCPAN data that later can be incorporated into MetaCPAN. For example I've added a page that list the most recently uploaded modules without a license in the META fields. If someone is looking for low-hanging fruits for sending pull-requests, this might be a good source for them.
There is also a list of recommended modules categorized on he front page.
The source code is on GitHub in case you'd like to send suggestions.]]>
I am especially grateful for the people who have collected the posts. It's much easier now than next year when someone will look for justification to attend or sponsor the event!]]>
For details and registration check out the Master classes.
As has been in previous years, there are going to be so called Master classes during the days before and after YAPC::NA. There are currently 4 courses listed. 3 1-day courses and a 2-day course (mine).
I don't know about the others, but for me, it is quite expensive to get to YAPC, and thus I can only afford to visit YAPC and run the course if it covers my expenses.
Therefore the course will only take place if there is a certain minimum number of students.
In order to make the decision easier for you, there is also an early-bird discount for the course I run and in the unlikely case that I won't be able to run the course your payment will be refunded by the organizers.]]>
The fact that people reach out to the editors of the Perl Weekly is lightyears better than people who just expect us to know about every event and to promote them, but we cannot do much with the events without some news.
I pointed both of them to the list of Perl Events where the DCBPW is already listed and I told both of them that if they would like to promote the workshop (which is a very positive thing by itself), and if they would like it to be included in the Perl Weekly, they need to generate some news item.
It does not need to be earth shattering, just something we can use as an excuse to talk about the event.
I put together a page on promoting Perl events, in case you need ideas what to write about.
Or you can just write about something else and link to the event as I just did above.
But then this question popped up again:
I am probably missing something fundamental, but I don't understand why are there no semantic pod markups? I mean such as =method , =function, =attribute etc. Instead of that we use =head2, =head3, =item in a rather arbitrary way. Which means it is harder to display them in a similar way across modules.
Alberto Simões pointed me to Pod::Weaver which collects =method and =attr tags and puts them under =head1 or =head2 tags, but that's just made me wonder even more.
I wish someone saw it as a CPAN challenge, took overt the maintenance of the module and made it easy to install it.

Historic Porsche racers at Gooding sale in Monterey
Three significant Porsche works race cars, including a spectacular 1960 RS60 four-cam Spyder, have been added to Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach auction in August.

Contest to choose nastiest Porsche 356 resto project

1955 'Kelley Blue Book' shows how things have changed
Did you know that in 1955, you could have purchased a 1953 Chevrolet Corvette for between $1,700 and $2,150? Or a 1952 Porsche 356 America Roadster for the same amount? These are six-figure collector cars today, but back then, they were just used sports cars that had depreciated after leaving the showroom.
I came upon these numbers while digging through the rubble of my desk, where I unearthed an interesting relic. It's a Kelley Blue Book that's nearly 60 years old.
The May-June 1955 used-car value guide for the dusty Arizona-Nevada region comes from an era when "The Blue Book" had a real mystique. Only dealers could get them, it seems, and the average person would kowtow to the concept of "book value" handed down by the car salesman, who usually had one stashed in his back pocket.
Oh how things have changed, especially now that the Internet provides the average car shopper with an endless supply of value guides. But back in the dark ages of the mid-20th Century, this was pretty much it, and the information was essentially unobtainable for anyone who didn't know the secret handshake.
After six decades, my little Blue Book has remained in remarkably good condition, obviously thumbed through loads of times but still intact. I'll bet the survival rate for these things is miniscule. When the new books came out, the old ones were trashed.
The slim 1955 KBB guide lists cars sold after World War II from domestic automakers and a scant number of "foreign" brands. The foreign jobs are essentially a number of British makes – most of which have gone by the wayside – plus Porsche and Volkswagen.
No Italians at all. No Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia or even Ferrari. Perhaps their post-war numbers in the U.S. through 1955 were too scant to make the grade.
And among the domestic brands, there is the sobering rendition of those that have gone away: Studebaker, Hudson, Packard, Nash, Rambler, Willys, Crosley, De Soto, Kaiser, Plymouth, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
Even sadder are the prices from 1955, particularly for those merely used cars back then that are valuable collector items today. I have the latest Kelly Blue Book guide for post-war collector cars, so I compared values between then and now. I also checked the current Hagerty Price Guide, which generally lists higher values than KBB.
So let's see, that inaugural year '53 Corvette is calculated by KBB as having a value today ranging from $43,900 for one in fair condition to $263,600 for an excellent car. Hagerty's valuation is higher, from $123,000 to $323,000.
And that 1952-53 Porsche America Roadster, a rarity that is one of today's most highly desired Porsche production cars, would set you back around $311,000 to $853,000, according to KBB. Hagerty doesn't have a separate entry for the America Roadster, but any early Porsche model from that time goes into six figures.
Inflation only accounts for a fraction of today's values. According to an online inflation calculator, a dollar in 1953 would be equivalent to about $8.87 today. So if you only consider inflation, the high value of $2,150 for that 1953 Corvette or Porsche would be about $19,000 today. Try buying one of them for that.
Some other comparisons for cool ragtops from then and now:
• You could have purchased a wood-bodied 1947 Chrysler Town and Country convertible coupe in 1955 for the meager price of $120 to $220. Today, that car would fetch $56,500 to $154,900, according to the latest Kelley Blue Book, noting that you would add 10 percent for Highlander trim. Hagerty says today's value is $84,800 to $236,000.
• In 1955, the groundbreaking 1950 Jaguar XK120 roadster would have been valued at only $950 to $1,275, with no differentiation noted in the old Blue Book between the steel-bodied Jag and the lighter, more-desirable alloy model. KBB says that today, a steel XK120 would sell for $50,000 to $137,100 and an aluminum one would get $141,300 to $387,500. Hagerty has the XK at $80,800 to $153,000 for steel and $284,000 to $490,000 for alloy.
• A 1953 Buick Skylark convertible was valued in 1955 for between $1,750 and $2,210. The latest KBB rates it at $65,500 to $179,700. Hagerty has it at $74,500 to $192,000.
• A 1948 Lincoln Continental cabriolet powered by a V12 engine would have sold for just $650 to $900 in 1955. Today, KBB values that car at $39,200 to $107,500. Hagerty does not have a separate listing for this model.
It's too bad there are no listings for Ferraris in the 1955 Blue Book because the difference in those values between then and now would be truly eye popping.
The 1955 value guide also has some new-car prices, and if you do the inflation math of multiplying by 8.87 for today's money, they still seem like a bargain. Some examples of what you could have bought brand new in 1955:
• A Chevy Bel Air sport coupe for $2,605.
• A De Soto Firedome Sportsman two-door hardtop, $2,986.
• The first-year Ford Thunderbird, $3,192.
• A Rambler Custom station wagon, $2,233.
• An Oldsmobile Holiday coupe, $3,115.
• A Plymouth Belvedere Club Sedan, $2,302.
• A Pontiac Star Chief Catalina coupe, $3,163.
Back to Porsche, it's interesting to note that the 1955 356 Speedster was something of a stripped-down model marketed as the cheapest way to get into one of those relatively pricey German sports cars. According to KBB, the Speedster was priced at $2,995 for the 1500 and $3,495 for the more-powerful 1500 S. The other Porsches were more expensive: a 1500 S coupe would have cost $4,395 while the top model, the 1500 S cabriolet, was $4,695.
But look at what that budget 356 Speedster is worth now. These lightweight and much-loved roadsters go for $117,100 to $321,000, according to the latest KBB, while Hagerty has them listed at a more-aggressive $208,000 to $508,000. Note that a 1958 Speedster in "preserved" but needy condition sold for $484,000 at Gooding's recent Scottsdale auction.
For now, I'll put away my 1955 Kelley Blue Book in a safe place to rediscover sometime in the future, when I'll marvel yet again at how much things have changed.
Eye Candy: First Porsche Werks Reunion brings them all together
Photos by Bob Golfen
An enthusiastic crowd of Porsche faithful swarmed the Rancho Cañada Golf Club in Carmel for the Porsche Club of America Werks Reunion, a new event added to the calendar during Monterey Classic Car Week.
More than 500 Porsches of just about every kind, ranging from early 356 models to the latest performance cars, were spread over the grassy hills, with a separate class for competition and special performance versions.
The Werks Reunion was filled-up with entrants weeks before the event, so many rare and well-prepared cars could be spotted in the parking lots and on the streets around the golf club. During the week leading up to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on the Monterey Peninsula, Porsche 911s were by far the most prevalent vintage cars seen on area roads.
Before this year, Porsches were part of the Legends of the Autobahn show for German cars, but Porsche Club members decided to break away and create their own concours specifically for their favorite rear-engine (mostly) sports cars. Plus, admission to the Werks Reunion was free in a week when high-priced events can cost hundreds of dollars.
Among the most interesting Porsches on display (aside from every 356 and 911) was an exotic all-wheel-drive 959 supercar from 1987, a rare and beautiful 356 American Roadster and a showing of Porsche's latest supercar, the 887-horsepower 918 Spider for 2015. Price tag: $854,000 for the base model.
Porsche 917K from film 'Le Mans' in Gooding auction
The stars are aligned. One of the world's most-desirable vintage race cars is heading to auction at Pebble Beach with near-mythical provenance.
Gooding and Company announced Monday that a 1969 Porsche 917K in full Gulf livery will go on sale at its August 16-17 auction that coincides with the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. But this is not just any Porsche 917 — as if there was such a thing. This is the very 917 featured in the 1971 movie Le Mans starring Steve McQueen.
Chassis number 917-24 also has some racing history, but that pales in comparison with the Le Mans/McQueen boost to its value.
As an added bonus, this 917 has an evocative barn-find back story.
Given the well-documented McQueen effect on anything motor-related, a remarkable record-breaking sale is expected. Porsche 917s have traded in the lofty range of $10 million, and this one could bring double that amount at auction. Or more if the bidding heats up for this one-of-a-kind memento.
David Gooding, founder and president of the auction company said, "917-024 is one of the most significant and recognizable racing cars ever to come to public auction, and we are thrilled to present the legendary Gulf 917 Porsche."
There were 25 Porsche 917 race cars built (24 are known to remain) with the goal of winning outright at the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, which they succeeded in doing in 1970 and 1971. Chassis 917-24 has the distinction of being the first 917 to compete in a major race. It was entered by the Porsche works team at Spa Francorchamps in 1969.
Famed Porsche factory driver Jo Siffert acquired the 917 after its brief career as a competitor and test car. Siffert loaned the 917 to Solar Productions for the filming of Le Mans which he, McQueen and a number of other racing luminaries helped create. The Porsche remained in Siffert's private ownership until his death – the 917 led his funeral procession.
Siffert's estate sold the 917 to a French collector who kept it in storage, out of sight and essentially forgotten.
"This 917 remained hidden and unknown for roughly 25 years before re-emerging as perhaps the greatest 'barn find' ever," the Gooding auction house said in a news release. "Since resurfacing in 2001, 917-024 has benefitted from an exceptional restoration."
In the film Le Mans, best remembered for its exciting close-action racing sequences, the Porsche 917 is shown in pitched battle against the other leading endurance racer of the era, the Ferrari 512. The Porsche proves victorious in the heated 24-hour competition.
Several other pieces from that landmark film have sold over the years for absolutely stunning prices. The 1970 Porsche 911S that McQueen owned and drove in the opening sequences of Le Mans reached a startling $1.375 million at RM's Monterey auction in August 2011. That was probably 10 times the value of any other pristine 911S at that time. It remains by far the most expensive 911 sold at auction.
A Ford GT40 that was modified as a camera car for the filming was sold for $11 million despite never appearing on screen. That was in August 2012 at the RM Monterey auction.
But perhaps the most extravagant, even outrageous price was the nearly $1 million paid for the "Michael Delaney" driving suit worn by McQueen in Le Mans, sold at a 2011 auction of Hollywood film items.
So the auction of the legendary Le Mans Porsche 917 should be pretty impressive.
The 917 is not the only McQueen-linked car coming up for auction in Monterey during Pebble Beach week in August. A 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 originally owned and modified by McQueen will be offered by RM Auctions earlier in the week. Valued between $1 million and $2 million, the McQueen effect could double the high estimate.
Porsche launches its own special motor-oil brand for classic air-cooled engines
Right from the beginning, Porsche's air-cooled engines gained a reputation for sturdiness and reliability. But a crucial part of the formula was always the quality of the motor oil, which helped keep the engines cool as well as lubricating them.
Modern lightweight, high-detergent motor oils are designed for the needs of today's engines, but fall short in protecting and preserving the classic horizontally opposed Porsche engines.
To help owners of vintage 356s, 914s and 911s keep their cars on the road, Porsche Cars North America has launched its own blend of motor oil specially blended for the needs of the air-cooled engines. Porsche switched to liquid cooling starting in 1998.
Porsche Classic Motor Oil is a high-viscosity hydrocracked mineral oil formulated for compatibility with the old alloy engines, with such additives as zinc and phosphorous to protect against wear and corrosion. The oil has been laboratory tested, Porsche says, to ensure that it will stand up to high temperatures as well as helping to preserve engines in collector cars that are only occasionally driven.
"The older flat engines in particular can't just use any old oil," Porsche Classic says in a news release. "The development of an engine oil for classic air-cooled flat engines has therefore been something akin to a balancing act between tradition and innovation: as advanced as possible and as traditional as necessary."
There are two varieties of the Porsche Classic oil, a 20W-50 blend for flat-four engines in the 356 and 914, and six-cylinder engines in 911 models up to 2.7 liters; and 10W-60 for air-cooled flat-six 911 engines from 3.0 liters and up.
Those high viscosities might seem pretty thick by today's standards, but according the Porsche, the multi-blend ratings are more compatible with the engines designs of the '50s, '60s and '70s.
Pricing is around $12 per liter at Porsche dealerships, and it also should be available from vintage Porsche parts outlets.
As a bonus for Porsche fans, the containers are attractive enough to put on display.
Eye Candy: Porsche Lit Meet
Photos by Bob Golfen
Known simply as the Lit Meet among the Porsche faithful, the annual Los Angeles gathering is actually a full three days of multiple celebrations for the little rear-engine sports cars from Germany.
The events surrounding the Porsche and Vintage VW Literature, Toy and Memorablia Swap Meet at the LAX Hilton took place Feb. 28 through March 2, and included a "shop crawl" of the many terrific restoration businesses in the LA area, most focusing on the original 356 and early 911 models, and a major swap meet in Anaheim of classic Porsche parts and accessories.
Weather was an issue at this year's Porsche party, with sometimes-heavy rain coming down on all three days. But the shows went on without a worry, and thousands of devotees made the pilgrimage and shrugged off the rain.
For a full report on last weekend's events, click on Porsche Lit Meet.
