I was Ford blue for many years. I always had a Ford something in the garage. My last Explorer and F150 Powerboost soured me a lot. They are building trucks that the dealers don't know how to fix. I'm all GM right now with a GMC 1500 Sierra Denali Ultimate and a Camaro ZL1 convertible (that only has 500 miles after a year). I'm thinking I'll swap the Camaro for a Cadillac CT5-V when the refreshed 2025 comes out. I like the new dash/interior with not much change to the exterior which I already like.
I’ve never had any issues other than something minor here and there. I did have the phasers replaced on the F150 and I need to get the forward camera replaced on the Edge. Looks like a stone got it
Curious…..road salt in SWFL?
I moved here from the socialist republic of New Jersczystan in 2021
Gotja contemplating a move myself to get the hell out of Illinois. No more cash bond in Illinois beginning this past week. It’s going to get uglier soon. Sorry for derailing thread…..
Things rust from the salt in the air. Anything along the coast would get covered with a white film of salt. Hard to keep engine compartments shining. Surface rust on exposed metal. Home air conditioners would rust out quickly.
This showed up at GR Auto Gallery. They are a consignor. I sold my 1969 Camaro SS using them.
I think you're going to be $50,000+ for a nice driver that's not a #'s matching SS with a build sheet.
Yeah looks that way. They come up now and then. That one I linked earlier looks pretty good now. The ask is $80k Canadian which is $60k us. It’s looking more reasonable. I think I’ll go take a look at it.
I'm building chassis, suspension, turbo work, EFI, and assembly. Body work will be done elsewhere. I had Roush build the engine - all aluminum 526. I started it over ten years ago but had to shelf it to run the business; now back on it. Hopefully two more years and it'll be done. The goal is to look like a factory original Cuda but lower to the ground and aftermarket wheels.
