But, on the other hand, if you showed the same sign to someone from San Francisco or Seattle with a fucked up pastel colored haircut and a shirt with far left political slogans on it they would think its real too.

The economy cars weren’t the money makers on the big island, the Jeep Wranglers going for $450-$500 a week were. I ended up renting a Caravan for $75 a week. There isn’t anywhere to go to at a rapid pace, and the Caravan did everything we needed it to. This was back in 2013, so I’m sure it wouldn’t be as cheap now.…
If you are going to buy something out west because it should be less rusty than a midwest vehicle, you have to stay east of the Cascade mountains. Water, moss, and mother nature do no favors to old cars in western Washington and Oregon. But with a FC Jeep I supppose you have to go where the very narrow market is.
Might have been a packaging issue, Cleveland Heads are bulkier than Windsor heads, and flowed a lot better, especially the 4v with their monster valves. Ford didn’t ever put the Cleveland motors in any trucks from the factory, so the 351 Windsor would bolt in a lot easier than a Cleveland if you were swapping a 302…
the 351 was a Windsor motor along with the 289 and 302. The 390 is the horsepower rating.
I always took Gotham to be NYC and Metropolis to be Chicago since Clark Kent was a midwest farm kid.
I’m not a boomer, but I would love getting my hands on a 55 Chevy 150 or 210 for a gasser build.
New York is just old money Florida.
It looks like a turn of the millenium Korean car in the styling department, sans reliability. I have a feeling you’ll be able to pick these up at reasonable prices (i.e. a fraction of the price it will cost to fix whatever is wrong with the one you buy) for a good long time.
It’s like a guy was sitting around and thought to himself “My FZJ80 Land Cruiser is just worth too damn much” and found a way to fix that.
Do you see what happens Larry?!
I’d read about a 7.3 Powerstroke swap into a 96 Bronco and they had to swap dash clusters because the sending units were electronic and couldn’t be made to work with mechanical systems. I’m sure there has to be a workaround since Coyote swaps are becoming more popular, but Ford just hasn’t put the effort into …
For me it will be my 1970 Mustang. I had wanted one since I was 7 years old, and finally gotten one at 25 after several attempted buys ending up with me getting there just in time to see someone else driving away as I was pulling up. It serves as both transportation, and a hobby. I’ll never be done tinkering with it,…
One of my neighbors had one of these when I was a kid! It was the coolest thing to look at going down the road, but he said you didn’t want to be in it during the middle of the summer as the cockpit would just cook you. He was a cool old guy.
If I bought an “off roader” I would want it to be off the paved road, and not off the road in a service bay. How can a “premium” brand be consistently so poorly put together?
A mid 60's suicide door Continental for me please! Engine note was never a big selling point on the land yachts anyways and as thirsty as old big blocks were you really aren’t losing range going electric. At this point I couldn’t see dropping one in my Mustang because its a loud, side piped hooligan machine. That’s a…
Everyone is equal, its just that union officials are MORE equal. The only thing keeping us from a far left utopia is human nature on every swath of the political spectrum.
I was stationed in SoCal for 4 years. I’ve spent plenty of sunny days on the beaches in the LA area, Oceanside and San Diego. As I was getting ready to EAS I even interviewed with the CHP. Getting stationed in LA was a deal breaker for me. I liked San Diego, but even 18 years ago I didn’t want to live in LA.
Couldn’t be the far left utopia they voted for not being what their state and local governments delivered? I know California was looking at a retroactive tax to fund COVID, repairs for the “mostly peaceful protests” and fires. The mayor of LA went pretty authoritarian at the first opportunity, and Newsom is about as…
So far all the arsonist shitheads I’ve read about have been caught in Oregon and Washington.
