The 1996 Ford Contour is my wife's daily driver. "The Ol'96'r" was all the better of a name we could come up with for it.....I think we ran out of creative steam after "Moby", "Lucille", "The Silver Bullet" (Cutlass), "Vic 20", "Dr. Lincoln", and The other "Silver Bullet" (Taurus). This car is...
Engine Specifications:
Stock Ford 302 5.0L V8
Engine Misc.:
I think the engine is getting tired. It takes the car just over 4 1/2 secs to get to 30 compared to almost a full 12 secs to get to 60.. the car is satisfyingly punchy below say 35-40, but once you get above that it's a total...
They all look good. Like I said before, those pictures are as much an artistic showcase as an automotive one. :-)
I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the 77. You can see my 77 in my photo garage along with the now gone 2003 Taurus (traded for 99 Crown Vic), and the soon to be gone 89 Town...
Okay, so here's the update: I called Judy, (the lady with the cutlass) and told her it was a deal. We're gonna get together Tuesday or Wednesday to do up the bill of sale and purchase agreement binding both parties to the deal.
I had told her that I was gonna sell the firebird right away and...
You know though, This firebird isn't any old firebird. This is Lucille. This was a car that was basically given to me by my brother who's now in DC. And it was his pride and joy that he loved, and hated to get rid of to me even. And I'm gonna just be giving it away.
I have attachments to...
I've posted this same poll on four different message boards, and in just over 24hrs, between the four message boards, I've had 40 voters (including myself, which I only counted once though I voted all four times), and only six out of all 40 thought I should stick with the firebird and one...
But it's my Lucille. :(
Heh, if I get the cutlass I'd have to change my LvC member name (or more acurately, stop using this one and create a new one) :)
I've already started thinking of names for The Cutlass. The lady who owns it calls it bullitt (which I realise is blasphemy, but hey) I...
Okay, I think I'm gonna do it, but I figured I'd take it to the polls first.
Amazing find: 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S in silver with a black vinyl top, black vinyl interior, working AC, new tires and a 350 Rocket V8 (108,000 miles) The car could use a repaint and a little bondo (a little bit...
I was unaware until now, Joey. I'm really sorry.
I watched a friend lose his mom about 6 months ago, so while I haven't had to go through it myself yet (thank God), I do know a little something of how hard it is. The overwhelming pain will fade to a dull ache that you will actually not want...
Okay, so I got the Crown Vic. I'm wanting to get custom plates on it, but am not sure what they should say. I've narrowed it down to two, but I think I'm gonna need help deciding which of the two to go with.
Idea 1) Moby Jr.
-You guys are all familiar with Moby, the white 1977 Lincoln...
Yeah, but they're basically the same car for all acounts and purposes, and the Ford will be $1000-$2000 cheaper. The T.C. sure looks cooler, but with the Ford, you have that whole cop car, people will be nice to you thing going. It's white, so to someone looking in their rear view, it's gonna be...
-UPDATE- I test drove that 99 Crown Vic and I swear I'm not exaggerating. If I didn't already know ahead of time what year it was, and if they hid the odometer (69k) and tried to tell me it was a 2005, I would've believed them 100%. This car looked inside and out, brand spanking new. The leather...
