Re: Car youd like to own (realistic) Reply #31 – May 31, 2005, 06:19:03 PM Quote from: Tbird232ciand still probably broke down a few times...my aunt had an 81, and the turbo technology from chevy was so...lacking, that under boost, they had a tendancy to run very leandraw through turbo/carb setups didnt work very well on the 2.3L fords...so GM put it on a Pontiac 301...interestingYeah, the 301 is a dog. Car isn't fast but it looks like it. Niether one of them have had any breaking down issues with it though. Now it doesn't travel any further than 10 miles or so from his house unless it's trailered.

Re: Car youd like to own (realistic) Reply #32 – May 31, 2005, 06:48:58 PM Yeah, those 301's were garbage, turbo'd or not. My third car, an '80 Formula, had the 301 4-bbl and it was JUNK. Looked very good, but JUNK. My next car after that one, and my first Thunderbird, had the 3.8 and would run rings around it.I have heard nothing good about the first turbo T/A, but , they look good. If I had one I'd yank the 301/turbo drivetrain and stuff a 455 or a built TPI 350 in. Now, the second turbo T/A (89, wasn't it?) was HOT HOT HOT!!! Buick GN drivetrain in a much lighter Firebird body... Quote Selected
Re: Car youd like to own (realistic) Reply #33 – May 31, 2005, 07:08:09 PM Oh. Didn't know that about the turbo TA V8's. Oh well. It's not like the wife would ever let me buy one of those 'greasemobiles' anyway. :rolleyes: She cringes at the sight of any F-body between the second Gen and second last. (poor girl was raised in a ford home) :disappoin I supose a guy could always drop a turboed BB in one. :hick: Quote Selected

Re: Car youd like to own (realistic) Reply #41 – June 01, 2005, 09:40:45 AM QuoteHey Mr. Dess, how is 15,000 USD for it ?Ahhhh, you guys made my day!!! I haven't laughed that hard since I saw a picture of Shawn's mom naked. I really don't see a situation where I'd ever need to sell the convertible. As long as I'm alive there are no plans for a 'For Sale' sign on my car (Will's pseudo-extortion photo from the hotel at Carlisle a few years ago doesn't count)...sorry to dash dreams here. The car is willed to someone who won't sell it either.Alex has been trying for, what, maybe half a year now? Ask him about his progress.... :flame: Quote Selected
