According to Wikipedia, both sedan and wagon got the LT1 in 1994. e: the list of B-platform cars is somewhat unreasonable

Seems about par for FB marketplace, actually. Asking unrelated questions on a public forum meant for something else entirely is a long and storied internet tradition.

I am not an English car person, but I really like that. How horribly unreliable were those things. Like 70s Jag bad or 90s Jag bad? Those are Ford era too I think?

The V12s I think are bullet proof on it. The electrics and English build quality for the interior might put people off. At least most of the window switches/HVAC can be taken from a Volvo or Ford

As slow as they are, I can’t imagine a v12 with a stick ever getting cheaper, either. E: I guess they go for $30k us on BAT, that’s surprising. Powershift fucked around with this message at 01:19 on May 25, 2021 |

Compare and contrast with that Dakota R/T: 2005 GMC Jimmy $9,900.00 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/cole-harbour/gmc-jimmy/1547864134   Not your average Jimmy! Over $20,000 spent on parts, components, and labour for this customized 4 x 4, which has won lots of trophies. Wheels changed up to brand new 18″ chrome wheels and tires. Brand new winter Tires are put on! Replaced the tail lights, removed all the badges, HIDs in the front, blue LED underglow, strobes in the headlights, cleared the headlight. Custom grill and bumper inserts, new rancho shocks, removed the roof racks, billet gas door, custom exhaust (tailpipe comes out the center of rear instead of the side). The truck has also been lowered 3″. Balljoints, rotors, front and rear pads recently replaced, as well as plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, as well as the battery. Interior plastics are airbrushed in metal look and skull design, interior LED accent lights, clarion DVD deck, all speakers upgraded from factory running on a clarion amp, 2 alpine 12″ subs with a clarion amp each. Two flip down LCD screens in back seat, 19″ LCD in rear hatch, Xbox 360, cap all 0 gauge wire. Carpeted fiberglass box for previously mentioned gear. Push button start, whistling horn, power door locks added as well as a $600 alarm system.

slidebite posted:Well. gently caress. I noticed while walking the dog that a neighbor a few streets over has a second gen SHO, but weren't those a bit of a shitshow? Something about the V8 not being as good as the V6 was, somehow? Nebakenezzer posted:Compare and contrast with that Dakota R/T: All that and it still has manual windows, one of the easiest things to change out. And it's squatting like a making GBS threads dog. Also, put the original grille and wheels back, or at least ones that aren't completely tasteless chrome garbage. Congratulations on integrating a gaming console that is no longer relevant. I'm sure that was the poo poo 10 years ago or whatever. I guess you can't use an Xbox One without a cell modem as well... That thing just screams aging Gen-X (I should know...) edit: also, lovely taillights and still cloth seats. Standards must be low at the shows it's "won".

It's also funny how futuristic looking the Taurus was when it came out, especially compared to its contemporaries (and the LTD it replaced.) There was a reason why it was used in the Robocop movie.

The SHO V8 was introduced with the third gen (oval monstrosity) for '96. The 92-95 second gen carried over the V6s, with no manual option after 92 or 93.

Miss mine. Diff was sort of a weak link in the transaxle if really abused. Had mine chipped, I forget if the redline was raised to 8 or 8.5K on it. Secondaries on it were sublime. Engine reliable. Timing belt and tappet shims adjustment every 60K miles. Never did drive a gen 3.

This part isn't actually true. They introduced the automatic for 93 (with a 3.2L version of the V6) but they were sold alongside each other for the remainder of that gen.

There was a reason why it was used in the Robocop movie. I remember really-young-me seeing my first Taurus wagon and being completely blown away at how cool it looked. It's incredible how the design of the original Taurus didn't start looking out of date until about the mid-2000s.
