My local Dodge dealership is in the same boat, they have three new Rams on the lot, one Jeep Compass, and a Journey. They have about a dozen cars left on their used lot.

A quick google search of Chinese Star Wars The Force Awakens movie posters seem to support the assessment.
I bought a 1994 Mustang GT from my brother when he found out he had a daughter on the way. He’d gotten it while stationed in Hawaii and had it shipped back to Washington state when he EASed. He was a mechanic in the Marine Corps, so you’d figure that he’d at least keep up on basic maintenance, but the neutral safety…
The absolute best part of SoCal commuting on any interstate was all the dickheads performing absolutely vital lane splitting in stopped traffic at 50+mph. Harley leather daddies might be loud and obnoxious, but the crotch rocket crowd has plenty of loud, obnoxious and DANGEROUS assholes in their ranks as well.
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…
