Bought myself an sweet old truck. Started out looking for a Chevy, but ended up with a nice Ford.



1978 Ford F150 with the 400ci V8 and a long bed.

My timing could have been better, what with gas heading towards $4 a gallon, but this was what I was looking for at a really nice price.

Nice find. If it was 4x4, I'd say lift it and go w/a 351 Windsor.
Since it's not, drop it and keep the 400 or up to a 429 (if you can find one).
Build a solid C6 and you'll be golden.

The market is up, I was bored...came home with this one day. 2002 Saab Aero 5-spd wagon. 260hp, crazy torque, great brakes, handles...um did I mention it's got great torque! Got it STUPID cheap because it had a cracked tail light & fog light, the tailgate struts were done and the shocks were totally shot. $40 for a salvage tail light, $40 for a set of tailgate struts and a set of Koni FSDs and I have something that can carry many cases of wine back from the Santa Ynez Valley at crazy speeds. It was a blast passing 5-6 cars at a time in the mountain pass up from Santa Barbara. I got 24 mpg doing it too.

This thing is retarded. I look like an idiot driving it. Fuck you, I don't care. I think. Maybe.

So is that the turbo V6?

I was thinking about those cars a year ago, they look nice, but the magazines never compared well against BMWs/Audis etc.......But for the price you can get them for, it doesn't matter

The base engine is a small turbo 4 (185hp), the middle engine is a oddly, slightly boosted v6 (~200hp), and the fastest motor is a big turbo on the 4 again (250/260hp). That's what I got.

It doesn't handle as well as a 5-series. But it's more comfortable and costs about a third as much. I don't need a fast car, I have a race car to get my jollies in.

Thats a really nice wagon.
Too bad the company is gone for good.

Wonder if thats a Saab specific block or if its shared with other cars in the GM portfolio of that era.
