In these days, it’s no longer just the performance models that are desirable. I see many collectors and enthusiasts who love the lux models over the performance models. And given how this era, the lux models were what people were after because performance had been neutered, I’d venture to guess that this would be just…

I love seeing your posts and pics of Jolene in Malaise Motors!  

Jolene!?!

This is a MX market car. Mercury wasn’t a brand in Mexico, so everything was badged as a Ford. From what I remember as the admin for tempotopaz.com back in the day, all of the 84-88 cars sold in Mexico were sold as Ford Topaz. But depending on the tirm level, they would have been the US equivalent of either the Tempo…

stating that the “Buick badge might keep American driver’s at bay” implies future tense. These would not be brought over as Buicks, but more likely a Dodge or a Chrysler.

Do you have eyes?

The first generation Ford Fusion definitely had factory “Altezza-style” taillights.

For the Radwood events, give it an A-team wrap

Since this one is in California, I am very curious as to how this is handled from a engine swap/smog check/registration perspective. Are the rules for EV conversions on post-1975 vehicles handled just like a traditional engine swap, or are they different? Does CARB have to certify the engine swap/EV conversion and…

MN12 Thunderbird SC. These were the shit in NASCAR when they debuted.

This is how platform-sharing is done right, and not just rebadging. When I first found out that this car was based on the same platform as the X-body Nova... stunned. While they may be similar in size, they look nothing alike... both inside and outside. Bravo for GM for pulling this off. I read on Curbside where…

Was gonna post about this. I heard that a lot of Pontiac parts (grilles, etc) ended up down under on the Holdens when Pontiac was shuttered.

1977 Pontiac Can Am.

Based on this, the bad years are:

1930-1954

I definitely think that having drivers to re-certify for their driving test is the way to go. Both written and driving test. As stated in a previous comment, you only have to cram for the test once, usually as a teenager. You should have to retake the test again at 21, then every big birthday. 30, 40, 50, 60. After…

HAHAHA... this exactly. Rented a Ford Falcon XR6 for a couple of days when I went to Sydney.  It took me a little bit to get used to the stalk being on the right side of the column, and i was activating the wipers when i would signal.  After that, I would notice many cars around downtown when they would come up to a…

So what happens if I’m not home when my delivery arrives in this autonomous vehicle?  Does it just launch it from a t-shirt cannon and hope it gets close to the door?

right... this was disappointing.

Yes, I wanna know more about this as well!!!

My parents bought a brand new 1977 Dodge Aspen station wagon, with the 225 CID “leaning tower of power” Slant 6. Being the most recalled car up to that point (until the GM X cars), it should have become a huge rusting pile within the first few years.
