You want heavy you want an old bridge framed CCM Cleveland with it’s double water pipe top tubes. My brother had one when we were kids and it took 2 of us the throw it over a fence when biking the fence strips back to the old swimming hole. Took our old single speed coaster brake bikes lots of places some kids…

On mild steel a brazed joint - properly done, is stronger than the base metal and a good fillet braze approaches the strength of chrome moly.

They made how many thousand of them??? there is a big enough cult owners group that there are thousands of the engines on shelves across North America. I’ve got one up in the loft. Ready to assemble

Particularly the 401 Randall

A jeep without what inevitably makes a jeep expensive - - - 

Even here in the Ontario snow belt 4WD is a luxury, not a necessity “all it does is get you farther from help” The 4 liter is adequate. The radio is a total non issue - if it’s more than a bad fuse a cheap aftermarket head unit is an upgrade from the original anyway. Up here a rust free cherokee body is worth a couple…

If he only removed the rear muffler and left the resonator on, with 3 cats the exhaust sound would not be terribly obnoxious. Quieter than a civic with a fart can - for sure. If, on the other hand he removed the resonator and left the muffler it just gets a bit more “throaty” and is not at all offensive. Some people…

The EA86 corolla engine (4AGE) found a home in quite a few Sammys - as well as quite a few 22RE engines and drivetrains out of Hilux trucks. I think I saw one with a Mazda rotary too.

Notice no air filter on the Thermoquad while blasting through the dirt???. It’s a few hundred bucks worth of fun - not sure about 22.

And even a Ferrari without full service records (which, admittedly this Merc appears to have) is not worth any REAL money. Miss ONE service on a 308 and you loose an instant 25% MINIMUM - maybe closer to 50% - from one with all the services documented on time.

It’s at $60K already and likely worth it to the guy who wants an executive hot-rod and has lots of money to keep it in the manner it has become used to. A friend has several German hotrods - BMWs and Mercs - including a V12 and I don’t think he’s paid that much (as the target car)for any of them. If they are not…

Too old to ride a Harley trike and still able to worm themselves into a door-less bucket??? Not highly probable. Remember you gotta get past those shin-burners and crawl over the side of the tub - and then get your ass on the seat without your feet getting out from you on the smooth slippery sheet metal floor -then…

If I wanted a “T” bucket I’d spend my 9.5K on parts I knew were good and start from scratch. More work to tear that POS down to components than the components are worth. For $5K for parts? Maybe after giving the motor and transmission a clean bill of health and if the fiberglass isn’t crazed and punky. As for…

If this was a “real Henry” steel body, had interior panels and a set of cycle fenders, 4 wheel brakes, and a genuine looking frame instead of that mashup of exhaust pipes - MAYBE. No idea what small-block Bowtie that is - and what kind of shape it’s in. And the headlights mounted to the ENGINE!!! Also obvious signs it…

I had a 1985 Lebaron T&C Mark Cross woody wagon with a 2.6 Mitsoshitty. Beautiful leather interior and wire wheel covers - I bought it at night in the rain for $1000 as a non-runner from a guy who claimed to be a retired mechanic and had a nice LSC in the driveway. Said it just quit - no knock, no oil light - so I…

That one is worth $9k a lot more than this one is worth $1500. Same colors and rarity -and $7500 won’t make the $1500 turd anything close - never mind the low mileage.

A 90 wrangler is likely to have lost it’s steering box around here - I guess in Arizona that’s not a problem - but at 180K miles MOST jeeps are BEAT - or at least getting expensive for the second time around

It’s a 6 digit odo and NO WAY does it have 1,180,000 miles on it. If it has 280000 it would read 280000. I’d say the mileage is likely accurate - to the right guy it might be a $7500 truck but the 2 door doesn’t do it for me and a good paint job would increase it’s cost by 50% - it is NOT a $10000 truck with good…

I’m a tad over 6'1" and I think I’ve bumped my head on my ‘96 Ranger standard cab twice in the 8 years I’ve owned it (I guess I’m a fast learner). It is NOT a particularly cavernous interior -a ‘98 is about 4 inches longer - but the 7 foot box is a godsend. 370000-ish KM on the clock and there’s NO WAY I’d trade it…

I went to a local slalom (autocross) event back in 77 with my brother and his Plymouth Cricket(Mitsubishi colt), driving my ‘76 318 4x4 Ramcharger. Being the first event of the season I still had my snow tires on it - and it was set up with a Frink plough frame - and I decided “what the heck” and entered it. There…
