A BIG shoutout to AC👍 Randy, thank you for taking a chance on these old cars and AARing them❗️ This is why a lot of us tune in to your videos religiously; we love watching a regular guy like us taking something we would all have a chance of getting and then bringing it back to life and passing it on to someone else to get some more use out of‼️ This is who you are; please don’t change. All the best to you and yours and please, stay safe🙏 (I still think the Z4 would be a great car for Jessica, hint, hint)
Don't know what you did but this is the first time in over a week the Audio has worked on my primary computer, good job on whatever you had to do, Also glad to see the Cougar made the trip OK and the Caprice I had no doubt would make it. Thanks again Randy for taking care of the Audio issue!
I broke a shock once on our old minivan, going over the Skyway Bridge that if you went over 35, the whole car shook like hell amd scared the shit out of me and my family. We limped home on back roads and everything. I learned right away that bad shocks and struts will scare you like the second coming. I think he'll make it.
(Apologies to Derek of VGG) I reckon you have about an 86.2379% chance of a tyre doin' some instant weight reduction and sendin' yer off into the shrubbery like a........wait...... Well I'll be dipped! Well done, Randy! You're right - a lot more fun pushing the envelope and having a go at getting it there. The tyres were quite audible as to their deteriorated condition and she must have been a right old handful. Being that she looks more like an 80s car, the old Cougar will still appeal to someone.....who will snip her up, do the work she needs and drive her for ages,..... Its the sort of car that MIGHT get a couple of guys in a bidding war on the day, but could also go for a song....and it wouldn't matter if it was mint condition or not. Good call on that and the Caprice.
The last gen of GM B-body cars were amazing and it is so weird that GM dumped them in 96, they could have gone on as long as the Panther platform cars. I got a 91 Caprice classic in 2009 and dailyd it till 2020 and put about 60000miles on it, it had about 250000miles when I sold it to my friend who restored it and gave it to his son as a first car, the only thing i did to it was to change the transmission for 1800€. I Payed 4000€ for the car and sold it for 3000€, this was in Finland.
Early 90's Cougars were nice cars. I got my driver's license in 1993 and my parents had a 91 Cougar that they let me drive. It was so much fun drivng that car.
Hey buddy..Long time no watch..Ended up getting COVID 19..In December after Christmas..But being in UK..We where and still are in second lockdown..Hope U are well..I love the Mercury great colour..And I love the..Old school seatbelts..I remember cars..In 1987 and 88..In Miami..When my dad was living..And working there..
A 1991 Mercury with bad tires and a questionable head gasket repair being driven 70 miles home. How many of us would have said what time are you leaving because I'll go with you.
Randy, please make a video or two documenting how you sell your cars via IAA. And please push Austin Carr to make some videos to keep his channel alive. At least once a week would do.
A friend I know bought a 1991 Mercury Cougar. He got the car from Vancouver Canada and does not have the automatic seat belts. The 1989 models can be imported into the United States and the 199O-1993 models can be imported being over twenty five years old.
Used Blue Devil in a 1996 Nissan XE pickup with a blown head gasket. Got over 350 mi. on it with no more problems. Folks if you are gonna do like Randy and I did, make sure to follow the directions to the letter or you will receive a not so good outcome.
Had that same 3.8 in an 88 T-bird and that thing ran and went until the body rotted so bad the left rear trailing arm pulled off the body, which was like 200,000 miles. Thing would get close to 30 MPG and handled great. Easy to oversteer it though. It's old enough it might be lazier to just get another motor in a junkyard. There's one in my local yard now, had an interior fire just enough to burn the cloth off the seats and blow the windows out. I didn't look to see what motor.
I like you. You have guts like me. I bought two cars off eBay sight unseen 14-16 years ago in Texas. Drove them back to Arkansas with nothing more than girlfriend in her car, my State Farm road service card and a cellphone. No problems. Both 300 mile trip home.
My parents had a 1994 olds cutlass Cierra we drove it around for about two years before it finally let go of a cylinder and my mom was afraid to drive it after that and they basically sold it for scrap metal when they should have put a new engine in it but if you know them they are the ultimate procrastinators it's just who they are.
One of my vans the rotors when hot would warp and I drove it down this long steep hill in Virginia, 1000 miles from home, by the bottom of the hill the wheel was literally going back and forth visibly more than an inch. Once the rotors got a chance to cool off again it was fine. Crazy.
My daily has one now worn to the cord on the inside edge. That same van with the shaky wheel, the next year the same trip I had to swap the front and rear tires because one had a big bulge in it where it was coming apart and it made the van pull to the side pretty bad.
Randy if I lived close to you an had the money I would buy the caprice but it live in South Carolina good luck buddy take care tell Casper I say hey see you soon good to see you
@@BigSi-xw6wv Maybe, but Randy keeps copying Derek's phrases, "i'll be dipped" and talks about VGG all the time. It's not an insult. VGG has good content, and I am sure he is not the only one.
