This post makes me wonder if I was adopted because this guy seems like he's related to me. quote:Do you like racing? Do you like spinning cars out on your way to the checkered flag? Do you like smelling like exhaust and getting very dirty?

I love how the titles on the second video show the team names, I fell particularly in love with "II in the Butt Racing."

Somebody needs to tell this guy "Barn Find" does not mean "found outside a barn" or "used as a barn" for 25 years. http://longisland.craigslist.org/pts/3827686346.html  "Look at pictures carefully"

He's going to be lucky if someone is willing to take $500 for getting rid of it for him. Did a pine tree fall on it while it was sitting outside for the past twenty years? Lowclock posted:Whoa he put tran instead of trans and spelled guaranteed wrong! I'm rolling on the floor laughing here! God what a retard! "1987 5.0 low miles motor an tran gurteend" It's probably that part, which I'm guessing was supposed to be guaranteed. Also, it's probably out of an old Crown Vic or something and is a really lovely motor compared to the EFI motor in the later 80's Mustangs.

It's a museum piece that with some rubber replacement would probably _still_ go 400k. Contribution:  http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/3827648416.html This is a hidden-rust and compression check away from being completely worth it in my eyes, though I don't have resto skills yet. That windshield! I could see many talented AIers putting a shine to this without too much trouble.

Tai-Pan posted:Any idea what the MPG is? Sadly enough, I do, as I've calculated whether it would be cheaper to drive or trailer one back from socal where some dude in the desert cranks them out for about $5k. It gets 10, and tops out at about 52 MPH. Bring your ear plugs. It would be an epic trip, and I just might do it anyway.

My book says they existed, but I don't think I've ever seen one. The book calls them medium duty, so I assume that means a pretty big truck. Probably not in an F100? E: Also, if you like that windshield, look at the custom cab's rear glass:

I almost bought a 60s crew cab once, the crew cabs didn't have the fancy back glass, but they looked so drat cool.

That one's not mine, mine's my daily driver and not a project. I actually take it to a mechanic if something non-trivial needs doing, since I want to actually drive it instead of having it blown apart in my driveway like my Chevy. That's not very AI, which is why I never posted it.

Maybe you can find some expired vegetable oil at Big Lots and cut your bill further.

BoostCreep posted:10mpg while towing? God, my 2013 Grand Cherokee gets 11mpg around town with just me in the car. No, that's dry. I don't know how much towing would affect it. I believe that's also a number for diesel. I'm sure if you start using the charts and playing with the fuel quality switch things get interesting (so you got 2 gallons of Jet-A, a 5 gallon pail of waste oil and 2 gallons of paint thinner? Set it to "4". - yes, that's really how crazy some of the charts are that I've seen.)

Here's another interesting car I spotted crossing the Japanese auction block:   A supposedly legitmate 1995 E36T AMG. I had no idea this configuration of W124 existed, however through google I found some people in England talking about them and a couple old postings of them coming up for sale in Japan. Looks like fun in any case.

Fo3 posted:I've only just recently realised how much I like the W124. Maybe I should buy a 4cyl one for 4k and stick a SBC in it. The W124 (and the W201) is a fantastic car. Watch out for rust, and general wear and tear on what is a pretty old car by now.
