What do you drive?
ChrisBcritter replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Got this very cheap from an estate auction last week - 2002 Cougar V6 Sport One owner and 48,216 miles; no smog fails and no nightmarish surprises on the Carfax. The auction company first listed it as a runner, but it quit running before they could get it smogged - so the sale was then listed as "dealer or out of state only". Fortunately my boss's partner has a dealer's license and I got it for a grand plus the usual 15% buyer's premium. Our mechanic got it to run again, and quoting his text: "Cougar running got monitors reset. Had blown charging fuse bad IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Needs oil pan resealed, front struts noisy, sunroof won't close (oh boy! ), needs rear brakes". So not perfect but fixable. Anyone else here own/owned one? -

OK, how about doing like what they did with the '65 Mustang, and reverse engineer a stock '66 Barracuda (which has been the Hemi Under Glass for ages)? Out of left field, but with some of the same tooling, a corrected '66 Valiant promo/Craftsman Plus kit (with the roofline and the big crease in the trunk lid fixed). -
"Ago" gets used to end sentences a lot here, but beginning a sentence with it usually comes out clumsy.

Lucky score at the local Sky Drive-In Swap Meet Sunday morning - Entex 1/16 MG TC; open box but complete with the trees still in their bags, for $5. Anybody here built one? If so, any issues with assembly?

Spotted this inside a kit listed on eBay: Has anyone here ever seen these? Maybe a coincidence, but the AMT '57 Fairlane has a set similar to these as custom parts - they glue on over the window cranks.
