The "All Cars I Have Had List" Topic

[cbxer55]

I didn’t know you had a Lightning. Do you still have it?

You asked for it!! Had the 2000 for two years, had to sell it after a job loss due to 09/11. Bought a 2004 in 2009, still have it.

Both you guys are good stewards of these never will be made again vehicles. There's a product called Fluid Film. I use it every fall on my entire underside and it's kept rust from developing. They just made it in black so I might give that a go this year. It's sprayable, brushable, and there's a long tube kit with an omnidirectional nozzle so you can put it down in your frame and pull it out as it dischages to coat the inside of it

Fluid film is something I didn’t learn about until the 2011. Both the 2011 and 2019 get treated at least once a year in the fall with it now.

It makes working in the under side of them suck but I have old clothing for that. It works well in making sure the discs don’t rust lock to the hub and the wheel rust lock to the discs.

Ranger only plays in unsalted snow, '16 is aluminum.

Sadly the Laser and '02 have gone on to greener pastures.

'85 Ford Tempo
*'90 Ranger
'89 Ranger 4x4 (parts donor for chassis)
'92? Explorer 4 door auto
'91 Explorer 4 door manual (miss that beast, got half done with the manual transfer case swap, was way better with 3.73's than 3.55's)
'92 Lincoln Town Car
'92 Subaru Justy FWD
'94 Geo Tracker
*'97 F350
*'00 Explorer V8
*'98 Explorer V8
*'97 Ranger

I didn't include the wifes cars although she drove the '98 Explorer for a number of years as a DD... I marked what I still have with * to be easy. There's a '67 Mustang at my brothers that's slated for me that I'll probably grab this winter, it'll likely get the 5L from the Mountaineer out back (I only included running vehicles ) and a 4R70W to be a better driver than the 289 and C4? not that there's anything wrong with that combo, just 4 gears and fuel injection would be nicer at times and the '97 system is simple on the 5L's...

With the 67, what are your plans for it?
I almost bought an 05 GT this summer and my thoughts were to lift it, posi rear, mud terrains and a roof rack. It was only 6 grand and super high mileage 460k

 

[scotts90ranger]

It's already somewhat of a restomod so pretty much just a driver, with an overdrive trans it'd probably do decent on gas even with a mild cam and GT350 heads... and the Hooker headers that are on it, already has granada front brakes, just needs a brake booster to help out if I can find a small one to fit in there...

I love that. Cats were meant to be driven. I love cars that are built. I've never had a Mustang other than early Fox Bodies. I'd love to find an old fastback with totally baked paint, and just keep it rat rod

 

[scotts90ranger]

Wish it was a fastback but it's just a coupe but still looks decent, the paint was apparently a cheap job that was bleeding bad when it was still driven... it's been garaged since about '07 and hasn't really driven since I did the disc brake swap about then when I got over my head (seems silly that a simple toe change was over my head after all I've done since then...), but life gets in the way...

Hey a neat theme for the notch back is what was known as the California Special. You night like how they look. I think it's the best way to get the most visual appeal out of it

The CS cars did look pretty cool.

Ive only seen them in fastbacks though.

Agree. They just look big and mean.
