When I bought my C2 it had a years-old paintjob like that. Overspray on the tires, the soft top, underbody/steering/suspension, inside the a-pillar, and all of the door, hood, rear deck weatherstripping is completely painted over.

The Door Frame posted:Ford Vulcan V6, for when you don't want horsepower, torque, revs, or reliability, but really want to waste gasoline Reliability was kind of the one thing it had going for it. With a fluid change you could probably get half the Tauruses in a junkyard to start. Every transmission would be dead, of course.

Vanagoon posted:The Vulcan V6's hilarious acceleration was described as being "Mad Vulcan Powah" on the Taurus Car Club forums. 20+ years ago that was a fun group. It was nothing but near penniless Taurus owners in their teens and 20s trying to wring every ounce of anything out of their clapped out handme-downs or the only car on the lot they could get approved for.

The Door Frame posted:I unapologetically love the Prowler and thought that was the best looking one I'd seen... until I got past the first image and got real sad. Nearly 6 figures invested into a $40k (when new) "Hot Rod" and it's still just got an ok V6 mated to a lazy automatic transmission that were both plucked clean out of the loving Concorde It's the later engine at least, so it's quick but not fast. Of course, that's by 20 years ago standards. Would a Pentastar fit in there? That'd be pretty fun, and probably an easier swap than a V8.

It does, and it's not. I've only done that once (at about 40,000 miles), and the heater lasted less than half the winter before blowing cold again. The dash and console have to come out, the intake manifold has to come off, AC lines evacuated/recharged, and actually getting the box containing the heater core off the dash itself is probably the biggest pain of the whole thing. At one point I installed an inline filter in one of the heater lines, and had to clean the muck out every month or two. It obviously wasn't a fine enough mesh, though. gently caress Chrysler.

Nitrox posted:"Proper wagons" are still garbage compared to SUVs and minivans when it comes to carrying items. Because cubic footage is just a number, what matters is the opening and the width/height of the cargo space. Most of the world had realized that decades ago and stopped buying station wagons.

Cacafuego posted:My first car was a '92 Mustang with the lovely 4cyl. I too, liked the way it looked and it was only 3 years old. The performance was laughably bad and the transmission destroyed itself shortly after the warranty was up. Surprisingly, that didn't put me off of Fords and in 1997 or so, I got a 1992 Taurus. That disaster put me off ever owning a Ford again. The 91-92 AXODE might be the worst transmission never built by Chrysler.

Plenty of 3rd gens have sold at BJ for over 50k, and mid 30s for absurdly low mileage isn't uncommon in the right circles (specialty dealers and auctions). He's just trying to sell in the wrong place.
