RE: Modern engine in a Pinto : I drove a 2008 Ranger at work. It had the 2.3 (or is it a 2.5 ?) with a 5-speed auto and a 4.10 gear. Ran like grease through a goose and returned excellent duel economy. First time I drove it I thought, How cool would this engine, trans, and rear be in a Pinto wagon ? Just as @Ace-Garageguyand others have mentioned, it's not as simple as a "cut and paste" swap because of the computers and components involved in doing it properly. The cost involved alone is a deterrent ! Then there's the whole doing the conversion properly -- lots of butchers around.

Circa 1993-1995 (age 23-25).

Beat Club was a German television programme from c.1966 - 1972 -- colourised from 1970-1972 -- which featured popular bands from around Europe and the U.S.

His first film role that I'm aware of was as "Razzle" in Suburbia.

Sweet replica of your RM23U4G !

LUdlow was a COX prefix in Huntington Park, Ca.

I wonder what the sole known-to-physically-exist 1972 Six Barrel would fetch ?

Super nice work on that (Malaise Era) Corvette ! Quite refreshing to see on in a colour other then red or silver !

Solid work on that RM21 ! One of my favourite kits, too. Keep up the great work !

25-7-1970... too bad that I was 3 months old and 2,000 miles away on that date (haha). Such great footage of the guys in their prime ! Now, about that silent, colour footage filmed by the FBI ( COINTELPRO ) of the MC5 at the 1968 DNC in Chicago !

Hammer, as in Paulie P.'s Hammers, LTD. of San Francisco, whenst in one's hand, maketh er'rything appearth a nail

The ones in my stash aren't necessarily rare, but are hard to find in unbuilt condition, esp. for the price I'd paid for them: - MPC 1972 Duster Annual - MPC 1973 Duster Annual - MPC 1974 Duster Annual - MPC 1978 C-10 Annual (only issue with 2WD)

More worserer is when the same unlicenced loser sits back whilst his wife/baby momma/girlfriend pumps fuel into the vehicle, energy drink in hand, hat on backwards, seatback reclined, yawning.

<--- remembers how frumpy and uninspired fashion of the 1980's was

Quite the common sight here -- has been for decades. Can't see over the tiller without pulling the seat almost to the windscreen ! Even more better is when their drunk-before-noon husband/baby daddy/boyfriend is sitting in the front passenger seat, completely incapable of doing anything more than loading up said SUV with cases of cheap beer.

Happy Caturday !

1971 was the year of my first 'tangible' memory : the Sylmar Earthquake on 09-FEB at 0600 hrs. ; I was 10 months old

Wait Until Dark [1967]

1969 Galaxie looks cool !

Three-some was the subject of Triad as written by David Crosby , and was originally released on Jefferson Airplane's Crown Of Creation , as the original recording from 1967 was "scrapped" from the Byrds' pending album due to its risqué topic

B5 blue has a few different shades, depending upon the year(s) of the vehicle(s): - EB5 was used from 1969-1970 ( "E" = 1969 ) - GB5 was used from 1971-1973 ( "G" = 1971 ) - KB5 was used from 1974-1975 ( "K" = 1974 ) - MB5 was used from 1976- c.1980 ( "M" = 1976 ) If a model year's not specified, any of those '-B5' blue shades could be provided/mixed.

I wouldn't - and I don't - consider a 1971-1976 (best years, IMO) Firebird et al. to be obscure. Heck the Craftsman Plus treatment would be great ! Now... 1958 De Soto... let's add the truly obscure Bendix Electro-Jector electronic fuel injection to the 383 !

Product of a bender of Alpha-Methyl-beta-PHen-EThyl-AMINE and boredom :
