Whats the paint code for that green? It looks great - almost like a reimagined British Racing Green with metallic. Could make a great alternative for folks restoring older British cars who don’t quite want to overuse BRG :)

You are missing one great achievement these cars had - their truly great contribution to motoring: the later cars hubcap design.

So I don’t quite recall where I heard this, or how true it is without researching, but I recall hearing a story about how pressed body panels were formed and then stored in bulk for future assembly. Companies contracted to store them would put them in large covered storage areas, and certain manufacturers who had more…

This is a bit confusing too - wouldn’t the “registration” be revoked but the title remain?

A few thoughts...

Some may choose to run a different aftermarket or custom PCM setup on this, like a Holly or MSD EFI controler, F.A.S.T., etc., so they may have felt there was enough demand to package the Mopar PCM setup seperately. Interesting to see it’s an unlocked PCM too!

Oh, haha! I thought that was a screencap from the Engineering Explained video. But ingested mud-hole water to an XJ makes complete sense! Plus that motor had 250k on it right?

Dang, that pic of the cylinder ridge, did they pull that engine block out of the ocean? Rust in the cylinder, carbon and oil, that’s one tired engine that’s been sitting open awhile.

Just saying, it’s not representative of most 100k+ motors in good service. Open one of those up and you’ll usually see nice clean…

I learned the hard way that you can’t always trust torque specs you find in a reman unit box, or the Internet...and thus began my desire to reference actual service manuals...

Since no one chose “V-10 Excursion”, I’ll have to go with David Tracy and the Roadmaster.

This is actually really useful to seeing how softroaders will handle adverse conditions. Manufacturers will often provide marketing-driven speak when it comes to describing their AWD systems. There’s many types F/R split devices (transfer cases and FWD ptos and the variations of each) and then theres variations in how…

Fortunately Justin’s and Alex’s choices do meet the needs of the requester...

Watch it turns out that was actually a GM car in camo, and it’s the mid-engine Corvette under it all

Very NP, and early TR6 with many original parts. It’s worth it as a parts car. Assuming rust isn’t too bad and it has a clean title, it’d be a good resto candidate.

I’ve definitely known some folks who commute very long distances, which always surprise me.

Starting to feel slightly old, 1, 2 and 3 used to go:

Everyone gives GM (and other makers) a hard time for making so many things FWD during this timeframe. And - I don’t disagree that a RWD Allante would have most likely been a better car, or at least helped it be more interesting today.

I had to stop by the dealer today - the parts department. I had to pickup a special-order nut that goes on the gear selector shaft of a Ford transmission.* (Fun details on that below if you care to read.)

Came here for the 15 passenger van and was not disappointed!

The pic of the keys - looks like a photoshop to remove the key grooves in the image? Otherwise could Dremel-make a copy from an undoctored image? Great idea to conceal that if so!
