  • My new wheels!

    OK it's the polar opposite of a festiva but I've missed my truck ever since I sold it. I've had to borrow my dads truck many many times since I sold it. This will solve that problem. And yes it probably get's 12 mpg, but like my other truck this one will get driven maybe once every month or 2. I'll use it to pick up or deliver motorcycles etc. 351, auto, air (no belt), glass packs, edelbrock carb, new fuel pump, new battery, new plugs. Starts right up, runs drives, shifts, stops great. And in keeping with the carbonvmax method (only buy if it's a smoking deal) I paid $250 for it! I just drove it home an hour ago.

                      I can't believe the luck some people have! $250.00? Here, that thing would fetch 10 times that. It'd be a rare beast too since the Cape Cod salt has eaten most cars of that vintage.

                          Nice find.

                          I have a 1983 F150 351 for sale cheap. Tired of looking at in my driveway.

                            That is a smoking deal Paul ! That should come in handy on those rare occasions when you need to haul something that wont fit into a festiva. A buddy of mine has a restored 59 ranchero and a restored 59 elcamino.
