Welcome to the disease. I have a weird love of old man cars like the Buick, so...

Just keep the damn thing and use project Swiss cheese for whatever this week as destined for.

Usually if it’s an interesting car or someone I recognize

Are you sure that isn’t “For Dicks BMW”?

The schmuck running Ultimate Image Auto. Dear God their commercials are annoying, more so than the various fluid disappearances in all my cars combined. And that’s saying something, since I lost about 7 quarts of oil and 6 gallons of coolant over the last month.

Same family. May be some differences in internals, however. Only know this because I have a similar engine in my LaCrosse, and plan on (post college) trying to push 500+HP out the front wheels using said block.

Miata drivetrain, or a small I6 with a 4/5 speed manual gearbox. Put fenders that make no sense on the car (Mustang or 2000's Oldsmobile maybe?), and fab a hood to fit. Roll cage and autocross. That is what you should do with this janky project

Thunderbird. It’s broken. Just tore the engine out.

Too Shitty to be boring

Plymouth Valiant and Buick Roadmaster. Not sure why.

Put some of the stuff that isn’t car elsewhere, like outside or in your house. That’s about the only way I am getting the engine in my Tbird running again, is shoving everything in my garage in the house for the 9 days of Thanksgiving Break from the boredom of Senior Year of High School.

Chrysler has the answers

It’s right up my alley. My Tbird was in the same shape, and I had the same amount of time, and drove that SOB across the country. Granted, I just blew a head gasket, but still.

As someone who dailied a Thunderbird that started out in the same shape, and was intended for a cross country drive in about the same amount of time, here is the order I tackled:

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Miata buy a bigger car!
