The inspection went pretty well. I need disable the yellow front park lights and red side markers, and find where the vin# is hammered in on the frame or chassis (or make a new one). Then I should be all set.

Nice, true 70s colors too.

IMO keep the AAA sticker.

You really need an NRA bumper sticker for that rig.

and a gun rack in the back glass.

Would a confederate flag be more appropriate for this then the stars & stripes?

[Galaxy]

Btw, what is the sticker to the right of AAA?

Boise University, methinks.

Yes, and play Free Bird everywhere.

Not bad.  It must turn a few heads over there.

Why do you have to disable the marker ights?

[J86]

The front end of that thing vaguely resembles the Family Truckster.  Awesome.

What do your friends think of it?

[omicron]

What brilliance!

[mzziaz]

Why do you have to disable the marker lights?

Government regulations.

I think I'll do a temporary fix with tape

[mzziaz]

What do your friends think of it?

Well. most think it is cool.

However, my father's first expression was: Why on earth did you get that thing? 

[mzziaz]

What brilliance!

Yes, isn't it?

[cawimmer430]

Love the color on that baby. Nice car/truck/pickup/SUV...whatever it is. 


Don't forget to send your best photos to your friend in Kristiansand.

The cool thing about having an odd, car is that no matter how weird your ride is, there is always gonna be some wild enthusiast who lusts for that exact model.

Well, I've hooked up with a guy in Southern Norway who owns three Rancheros or something. Apart form being very helpful, he just sent me stickers for my new ride:

Messages:

"Ranchero.us" (model specific forum)

"This ain't no L Crapino"

and

"This ain't no L Crapino - you blind fuck"

Ford's sales&marketing department must be wondering if they completely miscalculated the Norwegian market.

In fact they are already responding.






Edit:  That is supposed to be a Focus pickup.

[mzziaz]

Just sold it.


Right now I regret it like fuck

Why'd you sell it?

[mzziaz]

Why'd you sell it?

Didn't have enough time for it. And it is a pain to have three cars and only one indoor parking space.

At least it goes to a good home. The buyer is in his '60ies and have driven Amcars his whole life. He's promised me first dibs if he ever sells it.

How did you make out vs. what you paid?

[cawimmer430]

Nice pics. 

When are you going to buy a 1981 Ford LTD Crown Victoria?

I made about $1500, maybe a little less.

Ty, strictly cell phone pics though.

Charlies endeavours have given me a lust for wagons, so who knows?
