I wouldn't call it impossible to get parts, but the turbochargers are a bit of a wear item, quite expensive to replace, and pretty rare.

I seem to recall they (some?) were intercooled.

I'd open the hatch and get two (or three) guys to sit back there and bounce... redline and dump the clutch. Silliest burnouts ever.

You'd think for that amount of money it would come with a passenger seat. I'd offer him 500.

Why the gently caress does the coolant go through the bumper? To burn pedestrians?

The Y-block that truck would have had originally is a great motor. Reliable as hell. Why does the AC line go over the radiator support? Why does it even have AC? Is that hydroboost?

We usually made it so it was parked near horizontal across two spots. In a super cramped parking lot it was hilarity to everyone but the owner of said ranger.

Do you guys know of a way to drag up the content of expired postings? There are two cars I was looking at that are still for sale but who's postings have expired, and I want to look at them again. Google cache doesn't seem to do the trick.

So it has some smoked tails, a down pipe on it, and some cheap headlights? poo poo man, that's nothing compared to the typical abuse an AWD turbo car gets. The exhaust is fine. The headlights are probably fine. I'd be more worried about the wiring job on the stereo system and the tint than any of the other stuff.

Whats with the loving tags people are putting in their craigslist ads now. I do a search for BMW and Max Price $5000, only about half the results are actually BMW's. The other half are Fords, Chevys, etc. Is there a way to get around that? e: Thanks, didn't realize that box was there to search titles only. I feel like a dumbass!

Especially 20 year old ones that aren't going to rate as high for ISO points (which affects your resident's insurance rates). And even more especially 20 year old ladder trucks that cost several thousand dollars a year in hydraulic service and certification to keep operational. Am I missing something?

I used to drive an old fire department water tanker around the farm, spreading water on the dirt roads to keep dust down. It was a 10 speed which was a lot of fun to drive. It also had a "cannon" we mounted that could spray water about 100 feet out to the side. Old firetrucks are cool.

One of the JDM dealerships here was selling a Mitsubishi fire truck from Japan (just a ladder truck I think). It had a four cylinder turbodiesel engine and a five speed floor mounted stick shift. Whole thing was about the size of a Dodge Caravan. I have never wanted a Mitsubishi more. I bet it even has a wacky Japanese siren

A couple of interesting projects from the Northwest. http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/4244612530.html A mechanics horde, the Fiat coupe reminds me of a '68 I had. It has almost been long enough that I've forgotten most of the terrible things it did to me. I'll never forget the steering column joint separating while driving though... yeah, I'll never forget that. *shudder* Also curious about the airdams on top of the jaguar. and on the more ridiculous side: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/4227393124.html I've never seen an Alvis Stalwart around here. I can't imagine a worse thing to try to own in America, pretty much every part on them is bespoke. At least a Gamma Goat has an easy engine to source.
