    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.
