Last 3 for right now. I have to transfer the title, pay the sales tax, transfer my plates, and all that. Then I get to grab some gloves and play "what can I find in the interior?" :hick:

More pics later today

:burnout:

ELWOOD (Dan Aykroyd): You don't like it?
JAKE (John Belushi): No, I don't like it. (Elwood floors it and jumps over an open drawbridge)
JAKE: Of course, it's got a lot of pickup.
ELWOOD: It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile, or what?
JAKE: Fix the cigarette lighter.

Chuck that's f'n hilarious!!;)

Deft. a sharp car, pretty nice, must've been halfway taken care of.
Are you gonna change the rear seat?
I hate to say to throw on Cobra R wheels, everybody does them, but..they do look good though. Myself, I'd probably try to find some 2000-'01 alloy wheels for it.
Does it have the gas tank protection too?
Nice car, I'd rock one. :D

I cruised around all morning with the Blues Brothers soundtrack playing in the cassette player :hick:

The story just keeps getting better! First it got 25MPG on 87 octane swill, then the insurance (full coverage, collision, massive amounts of liability and PIP, low deductible) is only $400/6 months! Then I went to get the title in my name, and I didn't have to pay sales taxes! That's another $700 saved :hick:

Nice. Ya gonna keep the spotlight and wigwags? I'd prolly ditch the spotlight (they're illegal here) but I'd keep the wigwags (they're illegal here too, but if they're not on nobody knows they're there - in fact the T-Bird has wigwags). I'd definitely keep that bumper guard...

Oh, and DEFINITELY wear gloves when searching that car, and do it very carefully. Can't tell you how many needles I've found in decommissioned cop cars. It's our shop's policy to wear gloves when working on any used police cars, even those still in service...

I used to have dozens of those center caps along with all kinds of other stuff - front door trim, rear door mechanisms, spare wheels/tires, two aluminum driveshafts...

Then I gave it all to a guy that volunteers at a local Mountie detachment as a favour when I decided I'd never own a CV (the Lincoln killed that idea). I had considered keeping a set of tires for the snowflakes, but they were all snow tires and the T-Bird will never see snow again.

you dont hafta steal them. the plastic, castle lookin ones are standard issue ford parts on the ranger/explorer. the flat, metal chrome ones came on rangers too.

all you need to retro fit is the proper lugnuts. both styles of cap snap over the lugs

1st day update:

I got the title transferred, registration, plates, etc, the works. $125 :D No sales tax :D:D

Topped her off (25MPG) and added a bottle of fuel injector cleaner, some new wiper blades, and my steering wheel pad (carpal tunnel :( ).

I spent 2-3 hours going through the inside and trunk (WITH gloves!) and cleaning it out. I found a ton of wiring and trash, but nothing dangerous/interesting.

Started round one of engine bay de-greasing as well.

Tomorrow I'll actually wash it (supposed to be sunny) and change the oil (picked up some Royal Purple 5W20 and a K&N1001).

Next week I'll hit the boneyards for seats, door panels, dash panels, carpet, and a headliner. I need a spare and jack too. And the centers

Why no sales tax? Says the Washington State Revenue Auditor.

Nice car, looks like a lot of fun. Maybe we will see it at Portland?
