LOST MY STORAGE - SO THE PROJECT HAS TO GO ! MY KID AND I PURCHASED THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF DROPPING IN A REBUILT ENGINE (ABOUT $1,500 ONLINE) AND HAVING SOME FUN RE-DOING THE INTERIOR AND MAYBE THROWING IN AN A/C UNIT FOR HOT TEXAS SUMMERS. UNFORTUNATELY, I NO LONGER HAVE A STORAGE SPACE FOR IT - SO SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA GET THEMSELVES A VERY NICE CLASSIC PROJECT, THAT SHOULD BE EASY TO COMPLETE. NOW, THE ENGINE MAY BE SALVAGABLE, I DON'T KNOW. THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM TOLD ME HE WAS TOOLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER RETURNING FROM OKLAHOMA WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN (AND HONESTLY HAVEN'T PUT MUCH TIME IN TO TRYING) BUT I WOULD ASSUME HE GORKED IT. HE WAS RUNNING THE CAR BETWEEN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS AGO. I DO KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REBUILDERS ONLINE WHO CAN SHIP A LONG BLOCK FOR ANYWHERE FROM $1,500 TO $1,999. ALL THE ENGINE BOLT-ONS AND ACCESSORIES APPEAR TO BE EITHER NEW, REBUILT OR IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE - INCLUDING THE EDELBROCK UNDER THE ORIGINAL AIRCLEANER. ALL THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD SHAPE, EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE GLASS WHICH IS FUNCTIONAL, BUT CRACKED. OF COURSE, WITH ANY UNRESTORED VEHICLE THIS OLD, A LOT OF THE RUBBER AND WEATHERSTRIP IS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. ON THE PLUS SIDE, THE RESTORATION/REBUILD WAS ALREADY BEGUN BY PREVIOUS OWNERS, WITH MANY NEW BRAKE AND SUSPENSION PARTS. THEY ALSO CONVERTED TO A 12 VOLT ALTERNATOR, FROM A SIX-VOLT GENERATOR. THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS IS BECAUSE THE CAR APPEARS VERY SOLID, WITH NO VISIBLE RUST THROUGH. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT PAINT BUBBLING HERE AND THERE - BUT NOTHING I DON'T THINK CAN'T BE GROUND OFF AND SURFACE FILLED. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE "WORST" SPOT, (OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED DRIVERS FLOOR AREA). I WAS TOLD WHEN IT WAS RUNNING IT TRACKED STRAIGHT AND HAD GOOD BRAKES. THE TRUNK INTERIOR LOOKS REAL SOLID AND SOME PANELS UNDER THE HOOD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW. THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS GOING TO NEED SOME METAL WORK (AS FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM A LIMITED INSPECTION) IS THE DRIVER-SIDE FLOOR, WHICH HAS SOME RUST THROUGH. THE GAS PEDAL IS GONE AS WELL. I SAW A REPLACEMENT PANEL ONLINE FOR ABOUT $35 BUCKS THAT SHOULD POP RIGHT IN. THE PEDAL WILL RUN YOU AN ADDITIONAL $12. I WAS GONNA PICK UP A WELDER AT THE HARBOR AND HAVE SOME FUN LEARNING SOME SPOT WELDING. THE INTERIOR NEEDS A COMPLETE RE-DO FROM HEADLINER TO CARPET. THE SEATS WERE RECOVERD, BUT NOT VERY WELL. THERE IS NEW(ER) CARPET IN THE CAR - BUT IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. MOST (IF NOT ALL) INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TRIM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE CAR. THE DOORS WILL NEED NEW PANELS, BUT I THINK ALL THE TRIM IS THERE AS WELL. THE FRONT SEAT BASE IS IN THE TRUNK. THIS IS MOST LIKELY A "TIME PROJECT", NOT NECESSARILY A "MONEY" PROJECT - FOR A NICE DRIVER. THE CAR STILL HAS VALID OKLAHOMA TAGS AND WAS RUNNING AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS AGO - SO WITH A LITTLE WORK - IT SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO AGAIN. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE, AND AM WILLING TO INVESTIGATE/PHOTOGRAPH ANYTING ADDITIONAL YOU MAY NEED. I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU GET THIS ON A TRAILER, OR ASSIST YOUR TOW GUY IF NEEDED. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEE THE CAR IN PERSON BEFORE YOU BUY, BUT CAN TELL YOU - EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY SOLID. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Ford creates F-150 Sandcat to promote Halo 5: Guardians
Mon, Jun 15 2015Halo 5: Guardians is about to hit Xbox One, and Ford is celebrating with the reveal of this one-off F-150. Built by the Blue Oval specialists at Galpin Auto Sports, the Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat is designed for deployment by the United Nations Space Command. It's based on a 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and FX4 off-road package. It's then upgraded with a Baja XTR package from Addictive Desert Designs, complete with FOX Racing shocks, Deaver leaf springs, a Currie floating rear axle, 17-inch wheels, and upgraded fenders, side steps, and chase rack. It's all capped by a custom Halo-themed body wrap, and fitted with an Xbox One hooked up to displays in the back of the headrests. Fans will be able to check it out at the LA Convention Center during the E3 video game show, and dream of driving it on some far-off planet to combat whatever space monsters the Master Chief has been assigned to eradicate. Jun 12, 2015 | LOS ANGELES Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat Lands at E3 to Promote Halo 5: Guardians for Xbox One Ford, Xbox, 343 Industries and Galpin Auto Sports are celebrating the release of Halo 5: Guardians for Xbox One with a special version of the 2015 Ford F-150 that is so awesome, it could have been designed by the Master Chief himself. The Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat is a one-of-a-kind vehicle inspired by Halo's United Nations Space Command vehicle design. It will be on display at E3 2015. Based on the all-new Ford F-150, the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever, F-150 Halo Sandcat is special enough to have been officially designated the M552 codename by the United Nations Space Command – closely matching F-150's official Ford codename, P552. The F-150 Halo Sandcat started as a 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 with 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine and FX4 off-road package. To turn the truck into the Sandcat, Galpin Auto Sports added an arsenal of modifications to give it a United Nations Space Command militaristic style that Halo fans will instantly recognize. The F-150 Halo Sandcat starts with Addictive Desert Designs' Baja XTR off-road conversion kit, which includes custom FOX Racing shocks, Deaver leaf springs, a Currie full floater rear axle, ADD fenders, side steps, a chase rack and 17-inch wheels with off-road tires to go along with a full custom Halo body wrap. Inside, there's an Xbox One custom gaming system with displays mounted in the rear head restraints.
Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
