List: Every Car you have ever owned

I grew up in an automotive family (dad has been an ASE Master mechanic since 1960 and a member of NHRA since 1956, so it comes natural to me. Buying and fixing/driving older vehicles is more of a hobby. The 97 Dakota, 97 MKVIII, and now the 95 Escort are all drivers right now.

All you need is a ZX3 and a ZX5 to complete the set!

Whoops, missed that earlier post listing the ZX3.

A bit off topic, have you had a bit of trouble getting your Focuses (Foci??) to start when warm? Sometimes I have to crank the engine longer to get it to start if I've driven it recently. It's completely random on if it fails to start.

It appears they never fixed that, lol. I drive a '13 Focus for work with the DI 2.0L and sometimes I get extended cranking. Never misfires or runs rough, and of course no CEL. (For those without a sarcasm detector: I know they are completely different platforms now, just found it a funny coincidence)

Probably won't work on the '13 with its electronic TB, but on my '07 it seems to help if I tap the accelerator pedal. Don't know why. Didn't have to do this on the Escort.

In order of owning:

94 Buick Regal GS 3.8L v6 Auto (Engine threw Cam bearing off end of block, junked)

91 Escort LX Wagon 5spd 1.9l (victim to 4 car pileup, junked)

91 Escort LX Wagon 5spd 1.9l (fried wiring harness due to sticking starter solenoid, junked)

99 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2.0l Auto(after 2 timing belt incidents, burned a hole through cylinder due to spark knock, junked)

02 Volkswagon GTI 1.8l Turbo 5spd (final straw was broken valve spring, but that car cost me far more money than ever worth it. Sold)

Current Vehicle: 93 Escort LX Wagon 5spd 1.9l.

FUTURE PLANS: dropping 1.8l BP into LX Wagon. Then turbo.

Louisville Pull a Part has 2 GT's if you want a BP engine

I've actually already got a full GT 5spd in the works now! Thanks for the info though! I saw the one at the Pull-A-Part over on National Turnpike a few months ago (if it's the same one), someone had already mangled the cams out of it and they were sitting on top, rusted to hell. Made my heart break.

What row was it in? I recall one being in 324 or so, that one is gone now. Another one that is currently in 312 or 311. A couple weeks ago, a red one came in and has an intact bumper.

Honestly I don't remember the row number. I know it was in the back right corner of the lot, facing the entrance, in the front of its "row"

1966 Ford Fairlane station wagon
1968 Mustang coupe (DD up intil 2 years ago)
1963 Ford Falcon Futura (parts car)
1963 Ford Falcon Sprint (race car project)
1983 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe (engine from here goes in the Sprint)
2002 Escort ZX2 (current DD)


1 running Ford out of 5 isn't bad, right?

I am afraid to count! I have 62 right now and have been buying, selling, swapping, junking and crashing them since 1974.
I am a Ford guy but currently have 3 Austin Healeys, 2 Volkswagens, a Dodge truck, 2 Pontiacs, a Buick and 3 Mazdas! I have some Mercurys too but they count as Fords as they are from the 60s. Wait! Except for that 91 Capri, it's just a weird little duck.

Oh, 63! Forgot I just got a 69 Cougar.
