Bill reviews and drives a wide variety of cars, from classic to modern, foreign and domestic. Tangents, history, sarcasm, non sequiturs, outrage, and the weather report are thrown in free of charge. Good Morning!
My parents owned one, new in 79, metallic copper. Super comfortable car, handled like an ocean liner. Pilot license recommended. Lol.

Great car in the day. My mother owned a new 79 in metallic dark blue, matching landau top. Sharp car. Drove well until you wanted to get sporty in the corners. Lots of fun in that car. Memories.

Well car instruments are sometimes called clocks, but to have an actual clock taking front and center on the dash?! I owned a 1969 Camaro for about a month, a Colorado car, rust free, I was going to pull the inline six out of it and go the crate motor route, saner heads (at the time) prevailed. But a truly rust free '69, even in the '90s, should've been a good thing.

Check out the floor in that building oh my God, some company sold him quite a flooring job. That was a really good lick for that company. And whoever he gets to keep it clean oh my God it pays their mortgage just to come clean that floor. That's a cool car I just bought a 504 diesel because you can mix up Diesel with gasoline and used motor oil and drive on it for a buck a gallon. So after the election when they Jack fuel prices up I'll be clocking along laughing going who would pay $4.14 a gallon.

If you're so in love with freezing weather, you should trade places with me! You can come up to new hampshire and be homeless because nobody can affrord to live in Trashua because it's a communist democrat city in a flip flopping Red state, and the weather sucks so bad that even Mark Twain commented on it during a trip he took to Mt. Washington, -"If you don't like the weather in New England,.. wait a minute. It'll change!"

I have a gold and brown '82 Berlinetta that is a little different from the '84. The gas filler cap is on the left rear fender instead of under the license plate. The steering wheel is different and instrument panel is all analog and simpler. There is no Berlinetta badge on the left rear bumper. I don't think the '82 had an 8-cylinder option. The target market for the Berlinetta was women and the girls still love the styling; I get lots of compliments from strangers and all the girls want to ride in my car. The practical feature the ladies love most is the heater -- No one is going to ever feel a chill in the '82! But the model is very hard to work on for routine maintenance -- The spare tire is one of those stupid minis and the bumper jack assembly is a jigsaw puzzle. Best just to call AAA! The entire rear light assembly must be removed to change a burned-out light bulb. It's almost impossible to get a floor jack under the car. Very few shops can properly overhaul the Rochester carburetor (a place in New Jersey knows how). Replacements for the complex combination turn indicator/windshield wiper & washer/cruise control stick are no longer available and the approved substitute part doesn't work the cruise control. Still, I love my Berlinetta and will never sell her.

The 1977-'79 set of XR-7's are my most favorite of all. Although admittedly based on new-for-'77 Ford LTD II, the XR-7 (to me) was far more attractive than the T-Bird of those years. Very clean lines with strong Lincoln cues including the rear 'hump' and the sexy grill up front. In some ways it was a smaller version of the gorgeous Mark V. It's even more beautiful today, 45 years later.

I have a ‘95 XLT almost identical. SWB, 5 speed, 4x4, 302 V8, 95,000 miles. I get a lot of compliments when driving it, it still cleans up very well. One guy in a Hampton Inn parking lot in Yuma AZ recently offered me $20k cash for it. I will never sell it. Bought it slightly used in 1995 with 9000 miles on it. It has been and will continue to be a great truck.

I can explain why your AC is so good and it IS luck! Back in the day when R12 was the refrigerant of choice, it used to work way better than the stuff we have today. My dad used to have an old Mustang with 40k original miles on her and she still had her original AC coolant! It was so cold that it froze the vents, no exaggeration. Some people say they could get snow to come out under certain circumstances. Just think, in order to have that the system had to have no leaks whatsoever up until now. Over time eventually they will all be gone. To have the original coolant is super rare and makes a car MUCH more valuable/desirable!
