The '92 Crown Vic sounds like a screaming deal if the miles are true. The Mark III is nice enough but the wheels need to go. The Aurora is pretty but scary to think of all the likely issues it may have or soon will have. The Falcon wagon would be no fun to drive at all but would be one that could probably benefit from a sensitive restomod if the price was more reasonable.

While the camper wasn't fit to haul on a pickup any longer, it really was fairly nice inside and made for perfect summer on-site accommodations.
By the snow on the ground, I will guess Chugiak in August.
Cool old Pontiac but too rough for the money
Wow, this is a lot to unpack
The old photograph it wet so it looks shinier trick
Interest in these late W30s is up. This could be a fair deal

Kit car - might as well put the money in a fire pit and light it off...
I think that might be the first or second year for a USDM ix, that one might be the deal of the litter with material of that era faring well. Appears to be a cloth interior car, which has to be rare.

225 hp engine from an E46. Haven't seen that swap, much.
Too bad they didn't swap in some sport seats. That might have made up for it being a sedan.

And what's up with the rat's nest of wires in the glove box? Finally, that steering wheel and the aftermarket wheels don't look good IMHO.

When the guy says it's better than an S52 swap (from a '95-'99 M3), that's where he goes off the rails.

And a cat delete doesn't bother me one bit on something that old. Of course, he could have used a high-flow cat instead. But, no biggie, and I'm not sure why it is even mentioned on a custom car.

And I'd be OK with wheels that look like, or were Minilites. Those aren't close enough, and I don't like the color. IMHO, as always.
I'll disagree on the power thing, though. There isn't a lot you can do with the stock M20 engine. Massive tweaks might only get you another 10 HP (168 HP stock). The S50 or S52 (240 hp) is hard to beat.
I've seen M50/M52 swaps (from a non-M E36), but those don't hardly seem worth the trouble for 16 HP. Sometimes, those seem opportunistic (I need an engine, and I can get this one cheap. Which is probably how they ended up with an E46 engine)
Maintenance on the E36 engines is much lower than on the E30 engines, as well.

Of course, then we're talking $12,000+...OUCH!
Unless it's an M3, engine swaps don't really devalue an E30. After 30+ years, it's a normal thing in a restoration. It's the same with a 2002, and S14/M20 swaps. Done well, it's desirable. (unless you have a 2002 tii or a 2000 turbo)

The car got a lot of looks and a couple compliments today, it seems to look best in more gentle light. Wagon actually got a compliment in a parking lot too.

When owning a home there is always something to do. Even more so if you are a knucklehead like me and own two.

Used cars w/o a warranty that are worth 5 figures or more are a risk I no longer wish to engage in.

I'm stuck in the past. I have trouble accepting any car over 30k that won't have a warranty attached to it but I guess the market is much higher now
I am getting some new parts and pieces "while they are in there" and for fear of using a 7 year old "good part" that might not be so good at 7 years after crazy engine failure, so this includes:
1) 12 mo.12k mile warranty (I can't help but think this is Audi's way of saying screw you to non-dealerships).
2) 5w40 Total Quartz 9000 7 Quarts Motor Oil and Oil Filter
3) 1.5L of Fresh G13 Coolant
4) Exhaust manifold gaskets
5) Seals, Gasket upper, additional seals and gaskets
6) Fuel Injector Seal Kit
7) Thermostat
8) Oil Separator
9) Coolant Pump
10) Oil Cooler Seal
11) 6 New Spark Plugs NGK
12) Haz Disposal (CA / EPA thing?)
13) Labor to replace engine was sharpened to 26 hours. Am told Longitudinal V6 is much more work than a 2.0T for example, and transverse mounted motor. Not all engines are easy to swap, The S4 is apparently a difficult time-consuming one; he said it was likely taking over 40 hours in reality.
14) Labor to transfer transmission, supercharger, components to new engine.
The only think left to find out is how much more a 4.0T V8 engine costs and what the extra labor for that swap would be!!!!!
If I had gotten a 12K warranty I'd have been SOL anyway. As they say, it could have been worse, if the engine had grenaded in the first 30 days and 1,000 miles I'd probably be suing Arrowhead BMW in Arizona right now.
Toyota tax
Hipsters would do unspeakable things for that patina
Fun throwback, not sure about "classic" yet
Another fun throwback priced up there and then some
Malaisey doats, everything at an angle
Low mileage, really basic looking interior - family member had one of these which was much fancier
Special edition
I like the sign on the back
I suppose the transmission is what enabled it to survive
I don't think I have ever liked a Mustang in that sort of good condition less than that "High Country" thing. The color is awful, and the screwed-on badge looks really cheesy.
