1965 F100 longbed. One day it worked, next day, stuck shut. I took apart the latch on the inside of the tailgate but it still isn't opening. Any suggestions?

I have a factory manual, but it is way beyond my skill level. There are six separate functions on the switch. One to shut down the cruise for the brake, clutch, e-brake, and three others for the remaining functionsl

It is a 1989 Toyota Celica GT Convertible. 3sFE engine. 5 speed. I drive this car between my home in Fort Worth and my home in San Francisco. I do this drive every 6 weeks and let me tell you it sucks without the cruise control. The car is a blast to drive and will touch 40mpg on a good downhill ru...

I have been searching, with no luck for a cruise control switch for my old Celica convertible. As there are none on the planet, do you know of anybody that rebuilds automotive switches? It looks like something was spilled on the switch and the circuit board fried. Thanks! this switch is on the cons...

I finally bought a Mustang Convertible after looking for months. For every decent Mustang on CL, there are 50 ragged out ones! Is there a forum for Mustangs that is even close to being as good as Slick 60's? I found a few, but I get tired of wading through thousands of posts about "what do I ha...

I need some advice. I want to get a Mustang Convertible. I want a V6, 5spd. My budget is $5000. Any years to avoid or look out for? I know in my price range it will have to be late 90's or early 2000's. I just moved to San Francisco and i guess I need another ragtop. I would be terrified to drive m...

I recently moved to San Francisco, rented an 1100 sq ft apartment for only $2800 a month, and left the fleet behind in Texas. The cars around here are amazing. I guess it's because unlike Texas, you can actually own and drive a car that is not equipped with A/C! I have seen so many mid 60's to late ...

I knew there had to be a way to fix that POS design! I have replaced 5 widow regulators in my daughter's '04 Liberty. She loves her Jeep, and it's paid for, so what can you do?

I guess it's my fault, I've driven by there a hundred times and never even thought about stopping. I think I will go check it out before it closes.

Wouldn't a full restoration include matching tires?

I was reading the thread on classic car insurance the other day and I was thankful that I couldn't give any first hand info on claims...well that was then and now is now. I backed my slick into a giant oak tree on my own property. I had a disassembled car (hood, fenders, engine and tranny) in the be...

Yeah, it is a flathead six, and yes it's positive ground. When I saw that negative cable bolted to the top of the engine I just smiled inside. I'm sure i wouldn't have gotten the car if it were still running. It is a 3-speed with overdrive.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/shakespearesdad/53PlymouthCranbrookOct16012.jpg I just towed my Grandmother's 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook from New Mexico. It was last registered in 1977. It has 79,000 miles, original paint, interior, and drivetrain. The seats, headliner, and door panels are lik...

Well, as is my luck the, the '62 Hawk was a rusty POS. Why are people such scammers? I guess all original, great condition, is up for interpretation for some folks. The hunt continues...I found a couple at www.countryclassiccars.com Illinois is quite a drive for my slick and trailer...

I'm gonna go look at a '62 Studebaker Hawk GT. It's got the Stude 289 and a 4-speed. I have wanted one of these since I was a little kid!
Any Studebaker fans out there in Slickland?
