Good news is the Cybertruck will most definitely never defeat a Ford F-240

One time we did a trip to Hawaii and I did some hiking on marked trails in the high volcano areas. My shoes had red dust on them. I got pulled aside on the trip home and screened pretty heavily where they swabbed a bunch of stuff and put it in an explosives detector.

Indeed! 770hp and sticky tires are why it has caltrac bars.

I agree on the museum piece and thus gave a reluctant NP. It’s CP for the vast majority of anyone, but NP to the person or organization that wishes to preserve this piece of history.

No doubt this got Guy LeDouche to buy one.  Guy Like!!!

As technically a first year millenial, for my in college it was burning CD’s. Riding the bus in school it was mixtape cassettes, often recorded off radio.

I was using one in my Town Car up until a few years ago. The audio quality was better than an FM adapter, but it had a big issue...

This is cool, I’m glad they are remaking these! I won’t be purchasing one, unless somehow I get an E-Type and a desire to make it 100% factory perfect. But I know that toolkits being intact is something big in concourse level restorations. Being able to buy an honest reproduction sounds like a great option in that…

It was actually kinda the reverse of that - the Edelbrock setups were using the OEM setups to produce the template for aftermaket EFI conversions on carb intakes.

Indeed - and seeing “EFI” or “Fuel Injected” badging on a car in the 80's and 90's often meant central/throttle body. Because if it was port injeted, they’d certainly call that out in the badging to get credit for it!

I don’t disagree that TBI was a hold-over that took a long time to die away, the overall transition was long for other makes as well. Up until around 1990, several Japanese cars still had carburetors even - granted they were usually base model cars, or econoboxes. The Subaru Justy is known as one of the last…

As another commenter stated, that is a fuel injected - it’s TBI or Throttle Body Injection. It uses two large fuel injectors on top, similar in placement to where a standard carburetor would be. This is not a carburetor, it is fully electronic/computer controlled.

Love the look of the C4, and they’re not bad values at all in my opinion. No need to be a boomer - “boomers” are like any generation, they like the cars they couldn’t attain as kids or highschoolers. I was only a youngin when the C4 was hot, but as a kid had a thing for them. So I want one as well. Almost impulse…

We should not dismiss their quote so readily. It has a lot of value, and it’s not fair to paint any conversation that falls outside of “Definitely EV all classics” as short sighted or “Boomers at it again!”

30k budget?  Get two cars. Heck I had 9 that didn’t add up to $30k... :D 

I have a thing for Spitfires, as that is one in my avatar that I’ve been very very slowly restoring for years. I prefer the earlier cars, but love any Spitfire. $2900 seems reasonable if it’s a solid Spit.

Not just the trash in the interior but the general dirt and grit. You can see crumbs even in the seams of the back seat. Disgusting.

No doubt others have already stated this, but don’t call something a Turbo that has no Turbo.  Please.
