A 1987-1993 Mustang 5.0 liter H.O. (aka 302 cubic inch). The parts are ubiquitous, the cars are cheap and when correctly assembled outrun brand new cars costing more than 20 times (2000 dollars vs $40000 or more)their current market value. The 1988’s through 1991’s are (to me) the best. Forged pistons, and MAF sensors.

2025年1月10日 · Notice the price trend. The cars are worth $30K. That beater you are asking about will take at least $20K in body and paint work alone. It is always better to buy one someone else’s lovingly restored car that his widow sells for 1/4 the restoration cost at auction… see Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, Goodings, ect.

2007年9月5日 · There are a lot of good cars from the 60s and 70s to tinker with. But most that have survived are muscle or pony cars that have prices well beyond your budget. Even pick-ups in good condition are probably going to be out of reach for what you are wanting to spend. As long as you are just wanting something to tinker with, consider an old 4-door ...

2021年10月24日 · So by “restore” if you just mean washing it and getting it to start and run to drive it around the block a few times, maybe. But if you are talking about “restore” as in engine, trans, interior, body work, and besides to hire it all done since oil changes will be the least issue, probably better to just take a picture of it.

2024年3月17日 · I recently heard an argument that spending time and money to repair old cars is illogical. Those resources would be better allocated by junking all the old cars & buying a new or at least newer car. The counter-argument is that many or even most hobbies are financially pointless. For example I have a toy electric train set I received as a kid for Christmas, and I still …

2021年11月20日 · Some parts of my car look very dull. A few months ago I washed the car and applied to a small section ‘Turtle Wax: Rubbing Compound Heavy Duty Cleaner’ and then applied Wax. The truth is that the paint cleared a bit, but today it is the same as before. Opaque and dull. what dou you recommend? I don’t have an electric polisher. Here’s a picture from months ago, …

This is actually easier than it seems, with so many crate engines, including EFI models, and so many classic car restoration companies around to restore the original look and improve the safety and handling of the classic cars. Suspension and brakes can be easily upgraded with bolt-in replacements.

2024年11月23日 · Would swapping wheels (with tires on them and all) from Car A to Car B be ok if: Car A: Has bolt pattern 114.3 x 5 Wheel size is 16 x 6.5 Tire size is 215/60/16 Hub and center bore diameters are 67.1 Wheel offset is 44-48 mm Car B: Has same bolt pattern, same wheel size and same tire size. The difference is the hub and center bore diameters are 60.1. Also wheel …

2009年5月16日 · What kind of shape is the body in? If it’s OK, all the rest is easy, probably one of the easier 1967 cars for you to restore. Parts are plentiful, there’s a thriving owner network (there may be a club in your area), you can find out answers to just about anything (try www.thesamba.com). Do you want to? Do it! It seems like a neat family ...
