You said it "It has been estimated that the extra heat lost by a Ford V-8 engine is sufficient to heat two 5-room homes in 20-degree weather."

Yep - that was the 70's-80's FoMoCo wagon configuration. We had a 78, 77 and 83 (in that order) and my dad actually took the jump seats out of the 78 when it rusted to the point where it was unsafe to drive, and transplanted them into the new-to-us 77. My brother and I used to alternate who had to ride back there on…

That was my thought, too. In case of nibbles:

Yeah, really - Actually, here's a nice "Baby Jeep" that would probably fit the bill. All they have to do is get it to pass NHSTA standards.

Awesome! $21,000 under MSRP!

2008 CTS 3.6 D.I. with a 6-speed stick. Waiting for it to come down to my price range, then I'm in.

Still hate the grill of the later pacers, but love what he did with the interior on this one. Now I need to find a Levi's Gremlin for this same treatment!

Gew - that V-8 raised-hood grill is horrific.

Thanks...I could really go for some chicken and waffles right about now. That looks like a more portable alternative.

One more reason to love the open diff in what's left of my old car. As long as people only see you from one side, burnouts are awesome, and there's very little chance of skidding.

Excellent choice. What an awesome car. And with Twin H induction!

I have the Revell model of that in my attic. Bobby Allison?

I know this is somewhat off the expected answer, and likely a broader answer than requested, but hear me out: Soap box derby has been around for 80 years or so, gets the involved kids and their families involved in a form of racing (which hopefully leads to a lifelong interest) and IMHO is a gateway to broader…

Yeah, but how was he at Pole Position?

Appropriate woot of the day is appropriate.

4th Gear: Sweet to see this look coming back.

4th Gear: good to see this look is coming back.

Honestly, I'd be ok with a Mark IV at this point, as long as it's done right. Just don't bring back the Versailles.
