Will an full size upright piano fit inside a Chrysler Town and Country?

Question 1
Will an full size upright piano fit inside a Chrysler Town and Country?...  I found a generous person giving away an upright piano and I am wondering if it will fit inside my van. I am not sure of the exact measurements. And how heavy do MOST upright pianos weigh? Is it worth hiring someone?

Answers
1)   Won't fit- get a pickup. - djaca70

2)   No way it'll fit inside a T&C.

You can borrow or rent a truck or flat trailer, or get a U-Haul truck for a day to move it. You'll want a few strong people to help you move it.

You could also pay a company to move it for you if you don't feel like doing it yourself. Check the phone book for furniture movers, or if there's a local music store or piano tuning/repair guy in your local area, you could ask them who to use. - Mark B

3)   it will not fit and i would hate to try,get a truck - Steve

Question 2
Any idea why my key won't turn in my 1999 Plymouth Voyager?...  So I just got this car from my dad. It's a great car and I have been able to start it earlier today without much of an issue but when I turned into my driveway to quickly grab something and I came back out I can't turn the key. It will beep to tell me I have a key in the ignition, the key will un/lock the doors, but it won't budge.

I tried turning the wheel, I tried flipping it over, I tried wiggling it. It just won't budge. Any suggestions?

Answers
1)   is it still in gear? - imagine nation

2)   try moving the shifter, its probably the steering lock pin so really give the wheel a turn or shake - mykwilwin

3)   Apparently this is a problem with a lot of cars, but is more so with the Voyager series for some reason. I would have to guess that you parked the car with your tires not straight. If this is the case, your "steering is off centre it is pushing back on the column lock so you have alot of friction to overcome to turn the key". For most cars just turning the steering wheel (something that will turn the tires even if the car is off) will relieve the pressure and fix the problem, but it appears as though the Voyager won't do this for some reason (perhaps power steering).

As the source I found said says:
"An immediate fix is to tap on the metal ignition lock (right where the key goes in) firmly with a solid object that fits the diameter (or less) of the ignition lock. Usually, this will free the lock until you park crooked again." The head of a screwdriver should fit perfectly.

Make sure you are covering the ignition lock and not inserting the head of the screwdriver into the hole where the key goes in. The screwdriver should cover the borders of the key hole while not being over the plastic that protects the key hole. (don't want to crack that plastic after all, just relieve pressure on the metal ignition lock).

I hope this helps! - Douglas L

Question 3
Resell Price of 1970 Plymouth Duster?...  Well, this is my first post. So hello everyone.

First off, i'm 17 and i currently own a 2004 Ford Mustang V6.
I have been wanting to sell it and have been hoping to get $8,500 out of it at most.

Secondly, I have been offered a trade by someone who owns a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340. It wouldn't be something i would want to keep for a long time, depending on how much it would be worth. My dad's friend knows a lot about cars so I was going to get him to check it out before i went through with it to make sure everything's okay. I am wanting some advice on this as I don't know much about classic cars.
I have seen prices for these all over the place on equally nice looking Duster's. So im not really sure what to expect if I try to resell this.

About the car he has.
It is restored with a rebuilt 340 engine, less than 1,000 miles after rebuild.

I don't really know much about it other than that. Im just wanting some feedback from some people that actually know what they're talking about. Because I don't know what to think when it comes to classic cars.
Also, what problems should i be looking for or worried about. Or what other considerations should I have.
Thank you for any feedback.
1.Everyone Ignore the "this is my first post thing at the beginning" i copied it from a forum i posted it in.

2. I'm not really wanting to keep the plymouth. But yes thats very true.
Not wanting to keep it for a very long time, that is. I need a daily driver right now and that wouldnt work.

Answers
1)   it looks to be a nice car.first off your better off haveing the duster if your looking for a car to have a good value down the road becouse every day you have that mustang its value is going down no matter how you take care of it.that duster is going to go up in value if you take care of it - robert d

2)   First of all, while it looks nice, it is not original. Neither the exterior or the engine are correct for this model. That means that ultimately it's worth less. Exactly how much it's worth is really hard to say without a close examination, because that's what is needed to put a value on it. Certain Dusters in the right condition could conceivably approach 100k, others might be worth less than your Mustang.
You will probably find it gets worse mileage and doesn't handle as well as your car. It may not be as comfortable or have all the conveniences you are used to. - D

3)   The duster is worth more than the ford....Your fuel milage in the duster will not be all that good...Parts are fairly cheap and any shade tree mechanic like me can fix it...Check out ebay just to see how much the duster is worth... - Johnny Rotten

Answers
1)   Pink, the blinking light is telling you that you are in danger of burning out your catalytic converter because the engine is missing and pumping raw air into it and can cause it to over heat and burn down. This is usually caused by bad plugs and bad plug wires. If this is the case, please don't just change the plugs but change the wires also. It will also leave a code in the power train controller and turn the light on. When the controller sees the engine missing for a predetermined number of revolutions of the crank shaft, it will make the light blink. - Jackolantern

2)   Pulsing or vibrating could be a bad u-joint or damaged driveshaft. - D
