I just happen to know where a 1987 police car is with 3 miles on the clock. It has never been titled and is still factory fresh. It still has the price sticker on the window. Unfortunately the price would be high enough that it wouldn't be what you want. One of the companion cars was a Dodge...

Not as much as one might think. the 96 was about 800 pounds lighter and Ford started working on the handling about 1982 so by 96 the car was sticking to the road pretty well. They have made some additional improvements in the handling but the first time somebody was tailgating me and I floored...

The mustang is limited to 170MPH. The likely reason is the tires stock tires are rated at 180MPH and tires don't last long when you go above their maximum speed. If you remove the limit you need to rethink the tires.

Those heads hold a lot of oil. It's best to check it after it has set for a while. The best time to check it would be in the morning before you start the car. Even my 96 4.6L needed to set about half an hour before I check the oil. Often I would have the low oil light come on when the oil was...

Milky oil could be due to air mixing while you were driving. It would be best to let it sit over night and see of the milky appearance goes away. That said, my 96 mustang had a bad rear end from the factory. It would sing and took a while to verify it wasn't the transmission. When they assembled...

I moved from a 96GT to a Dark Horse manual, racing red and premium package. I picked it up about 18 months ago and am about 5,700 miles. It's a daily driver and will never see that track. It took a while to get use to it because the Tremec shifts so much better than the old transmission. In...

Because some countries drive on the left side of the road, the headlight are designed with a different lighting pattern than those used in the US. Long story but we shipped a BMW motorcycle to New Zealand and that was one of the changes the new owner had to make before he could take it on the road.

They filled the tank but the station is right next to the dealer. It probably wouldn't account for more than a mile. They offload in front of the dealer and the dealer prep combined with fuel shouldn't total more than two miles. That leave about 4 miles unaccounted for.

If you're working on stuff like that, you should always keep a can or two of Kroil Penetrating Oil around. We have old stuff that has years of abuse and the truck drivers we provide parking for occasionally can't get something apart. It's the best thing I know of when dealing with rusty parts.

Keep in mind my cars have been in Arizona or southern California so I can't say I tested what I am saying. My 96 came from the factory with a substance like tar or plastic coating almost the entire underside of the car. The exception is the suspension and drive train parts. After over a quarter...

Look up the manual for your tender and see if it's designed for AGM batteries. Ones designed for batteries before AGM might age the battery by applying an excessive charge. I suspect your's will handle AGM as it's new enough to know about lithium batteries. They didn't start using them until...

Once I am sure they are done revising the manual, I will probably print a copy or two. Between by Epson ink spitter and Mac, I can print two pages per side and print on both sides. That should cut it down to 138 sheets of paper which while still bulky, it's not as bad. For now I use the copy on...

Ask and you might receive. I found the thread I was talking about.

Another member didn't like Recaros and was able to swap them with a neighbor. The computer needed some tweaks to get the climate control stuff working and he didn't have the memory buttons on the door. If you're willing to live with a few restrictions, the wiring is there and it's a surprisingly...

For a repair, I would go with a good two part epoxy and if needed, a touch up paint.

My car came with 19x9.5R/10R rims and 255F/275R/40R19 tires. I can't say if there is a difference in the wheels or axles on the dark horse and the other issue is the PP uses even bigger tires. I don't know just how big you can go but even with the standard tires I have, things are close.

I have been using Ford replacement blades for a long time. In the southwest you rarely use the wipers and I tend to clean glass with a spray bottle and cloth. By the time you need them, they can be dried out. The factory ones seem to resist drying better than the after market ones so I don't...

I have never had a convertible but here in Arizona the dirt is like talcum powder. Leave the top down or the windows open and you have a cleaning job ahead of you. I would go with if it's a nice day, down while using the car and otherwise, up. Even indoors here a find layer of dust is expected...

The Econo Boost is sufficient at 300 HP to get you down the road and deal with daily driving or road trips. Face it, the V8 is just more fun and makes you want to get behind the wheel. On dry clean surfaces, the car will do a good job of staying glued to the road so it comes down to the driving...

A Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve isn't a catch can. It is intended to pull exhaust gasses out of the crank case. A catch can is intended to remove oil that might be in those gasses.
