I'M TEARING UP DOING THIS! HARD TO BELIEVE!. I LOVE THIS TRUCK!. I PURCHASED IN JAN,90 SO I COULD HAUL PARTS FOR MY LINCOLN PARTS BUSINESS!. THIS WAS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER TILL ABOUT 09/07. I NOT ONLY LOVED IT, I TOOK CARE OF IT! I MAINTAINED IT! IF IT NEEDED ANYTHING, IT GOT IT! IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED! AND WHEN THE 2ND ENGINE WENT OUT BECAUSE OF CRACKED HEADS. I FOUND #3 ENGINE WITH A LEGITIMATE 50 K ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALL APART IN THE BED, SO HOW COULD THE ENGINE BE BAD? AFTER PRESSURE WASHING, I DROPED THE OIL PAN AND PUT IN OIL PUMP AND CLEANED AND PAINTED THE PAN.&THE REST OF THE ENG!. I PUT IN NEW PLUGS, WENT THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR AND PUT ON A NEW ELECTRONIC COMPUTER THING. WE TRANSFERRED THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT WAS NEW, NEW PLUGS, THERMOSTAT,FAN AND FAN CLUTCH, HOSES,BELTS ETC. THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR WAS SERVICED AND REFILLED WITH ANTI FREEZE. THE TRUCK WENT 75 MILES AND OVERHEATED!!! I PARKED IT OUTSIDE AND BOUGHT A YR OLD FUSION!. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY BACK YARD SINCE FALL OF O7 AND BEING OUT HAS NOT MADE IT ANY BETTER IN CONDITION. THE CUSTOM PAINT I HAD PUT ON IN 1990 IS RESPECTIBLE , BUT SHOULD BE REDONE. YOU COULD TOUCH UP THE HOOD AND RT QUARTER (CLEARCOAT IS BAD) AND REDO THE STIPE AND SHE WOULD LOOK PRETTY GOOD. THE INTERIOR IS NICE AND IN GOOD SHAPE AND CARPET IS PERFECT!(SHOULD BE SHAMPOOED!) I HAVE ALL RECORDS SINCE 01/90!` THE TRUCK HAS ZERO RUST EXCEPT THE ROOF RAIN GUTTERS WHICH ARE BOTH RUSTY FOR SOME REASON! NEVER UNDERCOATED, IT IS SUPER TIGHT AND AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE WHEN IT'S RUNNING. SAVE YOUR KID AND MAKE IT A RESTORATION PROJECT AND KEEP HIM OR HER OFF DRUGS ETC! WORKED FOR MY KID! THE CHROME ON THE TRUCK IS INSANELY NICE!,BUMPERS,HANDLES,MIRRORS-BEAUTIFUL! GRILLE HAS A SMALL CRACK UNDER RT HEADLIGHT.(I HAVE A NOS FORD ALL CHROME GRILLE AVAILABLE). CARPETS ARE PERFECT! HAS OPTIONAL MATCHING FULL DOOR PANELS AND VENT WINDOWS. IF YOU HAVE A RUST BUCKET WITH A REBUILT 2.9 ENGINE, HERE IS YOUR VEHICLE. I WILL EVEN STORE IT FOR YOU HERE AT NO CHARGE, BUT YOU MUST PAY IN FULL WHEN THE SALE IS COMPLETED. I'M 74 AND HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT--OR I WOULD!!! MORE STUFF AND INFORMATION: THE DRIVE SHAFT GOT 3 NEW U-JTS,NEW TAILSHAFT SEALS AND TRANS SERVICED AT JUST OVER 400K MILES.IT ALSO GOT A NEW BOOSTER WITH MASTER,REBUILT P/S PUMP. THE ENGINE "LOOKS NEW" AND THE COMPARTMENT IS CLEAN , WITH NOTHING MISSING. THE BATTERY TRAY IS SOLID AND NOT RUSTED OUT! THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW RADIATOR SHOULD LAST YEARS. THE FRONT END IS GOOD AND KEPT UP AND ALWAYS ALLIGNED. I TOOKS PICTURES OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE DASH, BUT MY COMPUTER IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO FIND WHERE THEY ARE?? I ALSO HAVE MORE PHOTOS INCLUDING THE RAIN GUTTERS. I WILL MAKE SURE THE TRUCK HAS 4 TIRES HOLDING AIR FOR THE PICKUP. I HAD OLD SCHOOL WHITEWALLS ON 80'S LINCOLN WIRE WHEELS WORTH $800 IN MY BUSINESS. TODAY, IT'S ALL ABOUT 20 INCH RIMS AND BLACK TIRES, SO HAVE A BALL! JUST KEEP IT OUT OF THE WRECKING YARD! TO POSSIBLE CALIFORNIA BUYERS!!!! YES , IT HAS BEEN ON THE CALIFORNIA STUPID NON-OP PERMIT , SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY BACK FEES!!!THE MOST STUPID THING THIS STATE DOES!! |

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
