Someone in my town of Pahrump, NV has a last generation Ranchero with a 77-79 Thunderbird front clip with the hidden headlights grafted on. I know I’m breaking the SR-20 rule, I don’t have photos. If I see it when I’m able to get a photo, I will comply with the SR-20 rule.

Six grand is just the price of admission. Plan on a deep bank account to keep it running.

NP. Pull the engine & transaxle and sell those. Find some 200+ hp transverse lump and fit it into place. Slap the body panels back on. Daily drive it until it goes up in flames. What could possibly go wrong.

You had me at “clear title.”

July/August of 2016. My wife and I had just bought a 1988/89 Sea Breeze RV on a Toyota chassis. Aside from the RV we bought some new gadgets for our big trip; a new Dell laptop and a Co-Pilot gps program for it. We get to I-80, heading east, middle of nowhere and the GPS tells us to exit the interstate. Having no…

I thnk part of the Wheeler Dealer formula is that a somewhat mechanically capable person could do what Edd’s doing. If home mechanic Dave bought a car, put this much sweat equity and X dollars (Pounds sterling?) into a car, he may make this much a profit when the car is sold.

Some of the shows, Car Fix, My Classic Car & Gearz may be self produced and that could be why the high level of sponsorship. The sponsorship is what pays for those shows. If that is what it takes to have a slightly better quality of program, I don’t mind.

Exactly. Jay Leno, Wayne Carini, Top Gear UK and America at least have some kind of reason to watch. Usually these shows share some kind of detail or information that has value or at least are entertaining. I remember a quote from Leno about people tossing hand tools across the shop and how those contrived pseudo…

A better question is why do the clocks in first generation Honda CR-Vs fail. We have three (98, 99, 01) and all the clocks are dead.

I would be chauffeur driven to the local octane and caffeine event. Jeeves, find the nearest Dunkin’ stat.

Jeez, I was all ready to press the NP button.... smoking at idle, can’t figure out the fuel door. grinders for brakes and potential turbo failure all add up to Uh-Oh, it’s a no go.

It was good. I won’t say that it was perfect but the show moved along at a decent pace. Full disclosure, I was onsite for taping of one of the episodes at SpeedVegas.

A car made of the same ABS plastic as our beloved model car kits. What could go wrong? Need a repair? Model glue!

When I had a Jetta, I brought it to a German mechanic. He always asked why I didn’t just use black tape over the CEL.

Probably about 60 miles from the future/doomed (roll the dice) Yucca mountain storage facility. The waste may go right through my little town. We’re not far from the former Nevada Test Site, too. 40 miles. All the fun nuclear experiments, just a few miles away.

Graverobber, I agree about that repli-Speedster. Looked neat as a pin and not much larger than one.

The first car with my name on the title was a 1973 Satellite Sebring. Green like in the photo with a white interior. Grandparents gave it to me as a graduation gift in 1983 with about 106000 miles on it. I cannot say that I treated the car well but it survived my ownership. I sold it about a year later to a friend…

The fact that there is any 1983 Subaru in New Hampshire that hasn’t turned into a pile of red oxide powder is amazing. Slow, yes but remember that when it was built the national speed limit was a Sammy Hagar impeding 55 mph.

The three most expensive listings in my town, Pahrump.

http://presale.ams1.auctionsolutions.com/urtpd003/ I’ll just leave this tow auction listing here. Each thursday this list is updated. This week includes a ‘78 Pinto.
