It was sold new at Forbes in Waterloo. It's a factory 4 speed car (only 106 Esprit's with a 4 speed were sold in Canada)....
I live just outside St.Thomas and I own a 52 GMC 1/2 ton that I currently have in a million pieces. Oh well, building it is half the fun.

Hi, my name is Andy and I am a car junkie. I have been since I was. a kid. I own a '68 F100 which has been in the project stage for about 12 years. It is strange how things can be delayed so easily.

Looking for someone who is really good at adjusting car doors to fit properly. I have a couple that are 1/2 low at the back. I believe they were not mounted properly and it is NOT a sagging frame problem.
The organizers of today's Drag Race Memories show did a great job. There was just a ton of old drag racing pictures and memorabilia Way too much to see at one show, but just great that people have been collection and saving and are now sharing. Great Memories. Sure was great to see a number of the...

Out of curiosity I got looking at the Suffix Code and having a hard time figuring out what the last 3 digits mean...

Hi. I am happy to have found this site. For the last 3 years I have been re-doing a 56 Ford F100 with a small block 350, TH350, and 72 Chevelle front clip and rear axle. It was originally a California truck reasonably well built with low miles but needed to be restored again. The wiring was a hodge podge of st...

Here are some pictures of my 34 1/2 ton pu. Not sure which direction I am taking this.Definetly going to make it a driver though.Have a 250 IL six and also a 425 nailhead or a few ford fe choices.You would think with the price of fuel the choice would be easy and obvious. Hoping to get it home this easter wee...
Hi, I am wondering if anybody could give me some insight into my project. I am building a small modified, but instead of using a dropped straight axle I intend to use an IFS from a small 60"s car. ( I already have the small car as a donor and this is a severely budget-limited project) I figure the front...
Today was a great day, after pulling a motor out in the alley so Fatstax could scrap the car tomorrow he suggested we try to get the 55 running since Armdrop is coming up soon.Great i thought but I just put the third distributer in and still no spark I couldn't think of what was left. New cap and rotor ,mod...
