What Is Your Vehicle History??


Wow, so many cars and bikes!!! Bike later....

1) '65 VW (bought new by my pop) I drove it until 1985 and sold it in great running condition and great shape (no rust). I sold it for $600.00. That is what my pop paid for in when we lived in Michigan.

2) '68 'Cuda 392 Hemi (replaced the 318) 580+ HP at the rear wheels. Pearl black clear coat. A real head turner and stunner. I have photos somewhere...

3) '76 El Camino 396 tunnel ram twin 750 Holly double pumpers, 50 series tires at the rear on 10 inch wide A/R rims. Fast and wicked and scary at the drag strip(with no weight in the bed).

4) '74 MGB stock motor except cam and carb swap. A reddish/orange in color with black racing strips and a perfect original convertible top.

5) '76 TR6. Racing green and all stock. Beautiful daily driver and fast with that big in line six!!!

6) '70 baja bug with an Empi 100hp motor. Never got it painted (original beige paint). I drove it for about three years and sold it to a beauty of a collage girl.

7) '79 Mustang bought new. 4 banger maroon paint. Stock stock stock and got crunched at the beach by a drunk babe in a rented Cadillac.

8) '83 Z28 bought new. Swapped out the cam, put in headers, custom exhaust and wider tires and lowered the suspension. It was a fun fast car. I drove it back and forth from Tampa to California while I was in the Navy(Alameda, San Diego,Coronado). I drove it back and forth several times. I drove from Alameda to Tampa nonstop in 36 hours. My dad freaked out when he saw me as I had called him to tell everyone I was leaving in 10 mins. Never saw a cop the whole way until I hi the Florida state line!!!

9) '86 Mustang GT. Lowered and fast. Ground effects, much engine work, exhaust wider wheels and tires. A true 196 mph rocket.

10) '83 Ranger regular cab 4x4 with 2.8 motor. Lifted, 32 inch tires 8 inch rims custom exhaust 4:10 gears Yukon axles. I bought it in California with 10,000 miles on it. I drove it back to Tampa and sold it five years ago. Somebody put about 4 pounds of sugar in my gas tank one night. Real nice asshole, eh?

11) '87 Corvette. Lowered it 2 1/2 inches, highly modified motor, exhaust change, headers rims. This was a beast and you would not believe how it handled and it was a true 206 mph car!!!

12) '89 Bronco 11, bought new, 2wd with 2.9 motor, cam swap, exhaust swap lifted 4 inches and running 32 inch tires. A real great running Bronco. I sole it 5 years ago with 97,000 miles on it. I had a slight tranny leak and instead of taking to to the garage that day I had to hook up my trailer and go get a free motorcycle that a guy I knew wanted gone!!! It was an old BSA with 22,000 miles on it and I knew it would make a neat naked sport cruiser!!. On the way home from Sarasota, Fl the tranny started to slip a bit and the fluid started to come out and I stopped and filled up the tranny and it got me home but the tranny was toasted!!! $700.00 for another one!!!! Ouch!!!!

13) '97 Nissan regular cab bought it used with 23,000 miles on it. POS truck. 5 spped in traffic was killing me!!!! The truck was a nice little truck, but after I put 5,000 miles on it I sold it to a high school who wanted to low ride it!!!

14) '99 ranger 4.0 2wd bought new and still have it. Lifted 5 inches in the front and 4 1/2 in the back. Running 33x12.5 BFG KO tires on 15x8 A/R polished rims and a lot to add...modified motor (cam swap), auto tranny upgraded with a shift kit, 8.8 rear 4:10 randy gear swap and Yukon axles.

I have photos of all my cars. I will scan them soon ans post them.

'96? f150 5.0 auto 4x4. parts truck, never ran. traded some parts for a d50 and sterling combo, traded more parts for a HP KP 60, sold them both and scrapped the whole truck and used the proceeds to buy the rocks, the 460, and a couple transmissions.

1997 Ranger 2.3L 5 speed, my first ride

2001 Firebird, my dad suprised me with this one, it was a V6, but it was a nice car and fun to drive. First new one I ever had.

2002 Ranger Edge Supercab 3.0L 4x2, I liked the Firebird, but missed driving a truck

2003 Ranger 2.3L 5 speed, should have kept my Edge, but the 29mpg was nice

1989 Mustang LX 5.0 5 speed, project I picked up, built a motor for it and sold it

2004 Dodge Ram Quadcab 5.7L auto, was a nice truck. The mpg sucked but I miss that one sometimes. Traded it in when we had a baby to get the next one.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3.7 auto, still have it.

2002 F150 4.2 5 speed

1998 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 5 speed, the biggest POS I have ever owned.

and now my 99 Ranger.
 
1990 buick lesabre- paid 200$ for it and drove it 3 months, beat the living hell outta that car, broke both cv axles, busted the front end up hitting a snow bank on purpose at about 40mph+ and caught about 3 feet of air. finally blew up goin 95mph down the hwy and sent a piston into the highway and thru the hood. sold it to the junkyard for 350$

1994 ford taurus station wagon- rents car they let me use til i got somethin of my own. went to pass a semi and the distributor broke 500$ to fix and we still got the wonder wagon. its that sea foam green with the forest green interior...

1991 ranger STX- my baby. paid 625$ for it totalled out and i have about 1400$ including the truck and she still runs like a champ. not gunna lie tho, i beat the crap out of it almost everyday. shes only let me down once 2 weeks after i got it goin cuz of the fuel pump went out after sittin about 2 years. got it with 108k and now is just shy of 130k and aint no stoppin a ford.

1978 f250 4x4- got it as a grad present from my 3 uncles who helped me get my ranger and that thing is a tank to be!
