I'd nominate the infamous 6.0, which led Ford to make the cabs "easy" to remove on the 6.4s.
Had to do an intake manifold on one.... Never again lol
My dad had one (named it the "Looser Cruiser") and the thing would not die. Most reliable thing he had ever owned. Finally parked it after 3 years because he couldn't stand it anymore. Donated it to the local fire departed for Jaws of Life training, and replaced it with an Astro (good memories with that van :D)
Lima Ohio is pretty bad. Cummins' and Power Strokes galore. Of course, having UNOH there doesn't help.
It was for the full size cars too (minus the Vic). The Five Hundred was introduced and not only included the "f-car" designation, but was also supposed to evoke memories of Fairlane 500 and Galazie 500s. It bombed horribly, and Ford responded by restyling it 3 years later and gave it a more recent, recognizable name…
Used to drive these all the time for the university I used to work for (student worker who had to help maintain campus vehicles, got to play with everything from Volts to Chevy Dualies to 3000GTs), and I HATED the E-Series with a passion. Loose-feeling steering (we had 25 year old pickups with more response, and these…
The QX is actually an older Infiniti badge. It started off as the QX4 (a rebadged Pathfinder), the 1st gen QX56 (rebadged Armada), and finally the current QX56/80 (the overseas Patrol in luxury form, a la Land Cruiser)
'96 Geo Tracker. Laughed when my dad acquired it for me for $400 when I was 16, but I grew to love it. A miniature turd on the highway, once you got off the blacktop it was nearly unstoppable. In fact, I only got it stuck twice, and that was in snow. Got me through high school, and then drove it from Maine to Ohio for…
Unfortunately I have done this a few times. Drove a Geo Tracker, which its DRLs were just as bright as the normal headlights. Got pulled over less than a mile away from the pizza place I worked at. Cop then tried making me take a sobriety test (I studder bad, and it was 11 PM), and he didn't believe my story despite…
Holy crap this is a good price for this. My dad had an '86 for many years during my childhood. Was an awesome truck.
Great find! Preparing for a 2500 mile roadtrip in my '93 S-10 this week.
What else made it special? The car is most significant because its design featured a cabin that was stretched to the front and rear with wheels moved close to the corners, maximizing interior space in a way that was later termed "cab forward." This design would form the genesis of the Chrysler LH-platform cars of the…
I want one bad, but dang these things are getting pricey now.
