lets see your ride !

My daily. 1998 Camry with 106K on it. In good shape but the earth is slowly going to reclaim it here in the rust belt. I'll drive it as long as practical. Its my grocery getter go to the gym car cuz it gets 30mpg and I don't worry where I park it. It saves me from dings and miles on my other car.

I've had a couple Camrys for the kids. Be sure to check the valve cover gaskets. Spark plug holes fill up with oil and the oil mist gets sucked into the fresh air vents.

Easy fix.

Check the water pump when you do the timing belt. I'd also replace the oil pump gasket while you have the timing belt cover off. I had one fail *after* I fixed the timing belt.

I'm sure there was other stuff. I thought they were easy to work on.

I had great luck with these cars.

Yep, all that work is already done (fairly recently). I've had the car since 52K miles so about 5 years with how I drive and split time with another vehicle. If rust doesn't reclaim it I hope to drive it for another 5 years.

Here's my holler hopper right after I painted it last year. It was white, but still is inside. Didn't do a full color change, just covered the old peeling paint and surface panel rust with some nice flat OD... MAN, is flattner for paint not cheap.. was more than the paint cost.. It's not smooth.. almost a little like bed liner texture, but not near as deep.

1994 K2500 4 wheel drive, 5.7L with 194K on the ODO.

It was originally a state highway vehicle, then bought by the VFD I volunteer at. They had it for about 15K miles then sold it to me since they were getting a replacement for it .

I really wanted to get my FR-S in Yellow. I was forced to order it in white. That's the only option I ordered.

Oh..... nice !! And 4WD no less!!!

I got a Case 580CK years ago, but it just didn't cut it on my hilly property. 2WD, marginal brakes, and it had been beaten to death. I woulda' been better off with a 4WD like yours.

If I could have just kept on holding out, I would have preferred a dozer/hoe/loader...... and wouldn't you know it, about 4 months after I bought this, a dozer hoe showed up in the area for sale.. Damn near bought it too. Glad I didn't though. I've got enough things to take care of. I've named the place Vertical Acres, so that kinda tells you a wheeled machine isn't in my best interest, BUT, it has saved me MASSIVE amounts of work that I wouldn't have been able to do with a dozer hoe either...

I'm thinking after a year or two of working at this new place, I'm going to start looking around for a small dozer.. No way could I do anyting around here if that Hoe wasn't 4wd

Nice NSX, what year is it ?
(is that Doug DeMuro`s auction site ?)

 

[Dmartn149]

Yes, Doug's auction site. It's a 92 with extensive maint. records. New timing belt, water pump. Replaced trans with close ratio gear set.

 

[nolasally]

Apparently well bought below 70,000.00! Aluminum body panels...Watch out for door dings....

After some pretty cold weather up here - thinkin about my summer drive (currently hibernating)…

 

[joecoulson]

Shined it up yesterday

Hope you've had better luck with yours than my Dad!

He was always a Chrysler enthusiast and finally bought a brand new fully loaded New Yorker in '76. The problems he experienced were numerous (some funny like a spring coil ripping through the driver's seat tearing his pants!) culminating with complete engine failure just beyond the 12k warranty. He had continually reported overheating, but the dealer assured him that was just how the "lean burn" engines worked. Coolant had gotten into the oil and engine seized requiring replacement.

He sold it shortly afterwards.

Thats sad. It reminds me of getting a new toy for Christmas and broke before I got to use it.
The automatic climate control is a poor (terrible, horrendous, inexcusable) design and requires modifications to be usable.
Everything else is mostly the typical durable Chrysler leftovers from the 1960s. Except the dash, junk.
440, no lean burn on the 76 440.

This 75 Dart 318, auto, air, is turning out to be a good daily errand car, no rust. The 64 Chrysler is running the roads rather well now, no rust.
I'll probably keep and drive them. But no restoration.
The two cars are like night and day to drive. About 800 pounds difference, I think. One highway cruiser, one tin can.
