Here's all my past and present and a few of the family's

Present:
04 Escape with 78k

06 Ranger with 32k

Past and family's:

00 F150 5.4/auto traded it in for the Ranger.. somedays regret it.

95 Aspire sold it.. to many vehicles, baby on the way and didn't drive as much

94 Aspire and 91 Festiva. Dad has the Festiva sold the Aspire

Dad's 91 Festiva. That's right he has two.

Dad's 86 F150 5.0L/auto Rotting on the farm. Both kids drove it when we started driving. Sad to see it rot but not for sure it's worth saving. Still runs good but the trans is shot and beat to all get out.

Also had a 90 Festiva, 88 Festiva and 98 Escort but no pics that I can find.

96 Taurus, drove great, plastic rockers completely trapped water rotting what was underneath. All day for a new radiator. Rear knuckle snapped off the strut pinch bolt... knuckle itself was threaded so I had to get a whole new one. What a pile of junk!

95 f150, 4wd, 300-6... ran awesome, hated it, too bulky, rather rusty in the usual places. The hood release got jammed somehow so I had to break through the grille to get at the workings:

97 contour, got it for $250, the fuse for the dash lights blew and this kept the alternator from charging, PO gave up on it. (Alt field current goes through the battery idiot light.) Further examination found insulation starting to fall off the wires, a known defect. 4 cyl automatic... what a mismatch! 25 MPG and no pep unless you really got on the gas.

1997 Thunderbird "sport" 4.6L v8

I like your pics best so far.

 

[fordboy]

yep!

 

[bretfraz]

Been meaning to scan and post this pic for a long time.

My former '90 LX 5.0, factory ordered, sold in '93 with 110K on the clock. It's the only pic I have of the car. I took this pic the day I sold it. I've had other Fords but this is the only one I took a pic of.

 

[fordboy]

Any tractors?

Well it looks like the old truck might be in my possesion this summer. Surprised me when dad said they'd sign the title over to me if I wanted it. Going to take some work and love to get er back to decent condition but it'll be worth it. Alot of memories in the that old truck.

While I'm at it I'll include a pic of the Ranger doing what it does best. Put some 2k helper springs on it. Still managed to get 25mpg with that load.

I have a 1951 8N. Beautiful, classic style. For some reason I can't get it started this spring. I might even need to sell...

If I get a chance, I'll take a pic.

I bought this for my wife and three small kids as her grocery wagon. It's a 1995 Eddie Bauer from Tennessee. I feel like they are safe in the Bronco when they run their errands.
