Update on family members, er cars.... February 26, 2009, 06:14:07 PM Well, it has been a while since I was really on this board, and I thought I would do a little update on my vehicles....so1966 Oldsmobile Toranado 425 olds engine, front wheel drive, ugly...but the wife loves it.Next is the 04 Chevy...rah rah.Then the Ford Cougar....yeah the FORD cougar. Bought this car from a guy that worked at Ford Mo. Co. Some kind of European Test car driven in the states by some executive. Bought it as a shell, bought a wrecked Cougar and now we drive it. It is a 99 but the assembled title reads 02. Let me know what you guys think. Quote Selected

Update on family members, er cars.... Reply #3 – February 26, 2009, 06:32:32 PM Yeah, the original hood had a hood scoop on it but it was missing, and since the donor car didn't have holes in it I used it. Easier and cheaper than buying another scoop.OH yeah, it has the v6 and a 5 speed manual. Quote Selected

Update on family members, er cars.... Reply #9 – February 26, 2009, 08:24:15 PM Yeah, for sure a mixed bunch of cars. But yeah, that olds runs pretty good. It roast's the tires without a second of hesitation. But, without some serious cash, a restoration will be a long and drawn out process. My wife wants it redone to go get groceries in. Quote Selected
