Would love to give her a new home but I have title problems on the car I would have to sell to raise the money sucks but their has to be an end to this battle...
Chris, I love my 1997 Volvo 850 wagon and it has been a reliable car. Recently the air pump went on the car and that turned out to be a $500 part! Other than...
Heya! I would agree that the taurus and sibling wagons are more substantial feeling than the Celebrity and its brethren, however, the Fords have a tendency to...
Hello everyone, If in anyone is interested, my 1973 Pontiac Grand Safari is photographed (1 entire page!) in the new issue of Collectible Automobile Magazine....
I was quite impressed with the pix of the Grand Safari ... did not know it was yours ... wow ! Nice to see more classic mags are devoting issues and articles...
I recently posted about a code 1441 'Evap flow during nonpurge' on my 96 RM. I got alot of suggestions here, but nothing definitive. So, After my chicago trip,...
I spent some time with the wagon recently as I had the urge to eek some more performance out of her for the Olds Racing event at Norwalk Raceway last month. My...
I'm guessing about $150 - $200? Found the invoice for the Buick, btw. It was code 24, throttle position sensor. ... the bill yet, but the car is running fine...
Actually, the 232 (3.8) blows head gaskets quite frequently; however, it has a good transmission. The 181 (3.0) has a rotten transmission, but is a really good...
... I have to disagree on this. Both engines used the same AXOD/AXODE transmissions before the 1996 introduction of the 3.0L Duratec 24V V6. Ford introduced...
Got the bill today.....But this is a 'favor' price. $86. Thats fo the new canister and a new gas cap just for kicks. Since he has replaced the solenoid before...
Hey. It may be as brand new but miles are awfully low for a car that age. I smell trouble from dried seals and such... Also, in the gas lines... And the...
Yes, it is similar to the '72 Buick with 292 original miles a few months back. Of course the seals and hoses and tires and such dry out, but the car is...
Does anyone know or have any history on this 1973 Buick wagon? It looks really nice! http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/4/9/84615349.htm Randy...
All those concerns are legitimate BUT, it is a new car if mileage is correct. The $30,000 price is what one would go for now if they still made that car. If...
Dan, Your points are valid to a point. (Sorry about that... It slipped out). A '78 does not have the mechanical or safety advances of a 2006 Model, nor does it...
Guys: That 78 Country Squire is very much able to be upgraded to provide much more modern amenities. First off, it may have 4 wheel disc brakes already....
You've talked about more than four thousand dollars of work at dealer cost. (I have a dealer license here) But, as they say in the car industry, there's an ass...
It's a Ford and its a wagon, Mike, I thought maybe you would have picked it up. R ... From: Mike Frankovich To: stationwagon@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I smell problems, quite frankly, and, at their price, it's too rich for me... I can buy one in really decent condition for around $5,000.00 but with a lot more...
Well, Mike, I was sort of ribbing u a bit ... was going to add the fact u wouldn't have to deal with customs if u win it ... but that price is obvious even to...
Randy, that is a nice wagon. To the best of my knowledge, that wagon was restored by a doctor ( or someone else w/ lots of $$$) in Georgia. It has been on...
Yes. Haemmings wants to return and do a road test of my British Ford Zephyr wagon versus my Vauxhall Cresta wagon. Also to photograph my 'new' Cortina wagon. ...
that would be quite nice. You're definitely an auto celebrity ! R ... From: Mike Frankovich To: stationwagon@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006...
Beautiful car, but the price is now 30K. The owner will have a hard time finding just the right person who wants to pay 30 grand for a 1978 Ford Wagon. I'm...
