"A really good PDR guy could get that out" is a classic Randy line and should be on a shirt!

Right up there with: The important window works. and Let’s put a jump on her.

[@gregt722]

Who cares if the Cougar is a V6. Like you said, “nicer, newer, cleaner & lower miles”. I enjoy affordable cars. Most of us enjoy your channel because you’re not flaunting wealth and money, and we can’t relate to Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Swamp Vette, the Tempo, and of course the 59 Dodge... this is content I enjoy, and look forward to watching. Thanks!

[@RegalCobra097]

This is why I enjoy his channel. He is different from Samcrac, Tavarish and Hoovie.

[@drewbenefield2001]

I really like that Saab!! you’re hilarious Randy!! Have a great day!!

[@copcarguymn]

The good old Nissan Z24 engine was nearly indestructible and bullet proof. Having a 4 cylinder with eight spark plugs made those Z24 engines a very snappy engine for there time.

[@TylerDuysen]

just like the ford ranger with the 8 spark plug 2.3ll 4 banger

[@copcarguymn]

@@TylerDuysen I didn't remember ford ever having a 2.3 litre with 8 spark plugs.

In that year the XR7 was a trim package, either engine was available. Also, did you notice the low coolant light? Betcha head gasket is done.

[@Broke_Guy]

It isn't a low coolant light, it's low washer fluid light. It has coolant, and washer fluid. The light is just stuck on. The open door lights is stuck on also.

[@makpsv]

@@hv54wxt And what is a Vectra C? A slightly bigger Astra.... 🙃

[@MGalaxy]

Not much in common with Vectra C (not Astra). They share the same platform which was an international project of various GM divisions (Epsilon II). The whole interior, exterior, rear suspension, engine (2.0 block mostly designed by Lotus, other stuff by Saab) and all the electronics are completely different.

Some paint, air ride or lower it on a budget with a static drop new wheels and refurbished interior or redone on a budget. Would make for some cool content for the channel and a cool little through back mini truck.

On the Jag, for future reference, there is a key hole for the boot if you look under the boot chrome strip where you were pushing the boot release at the back.

Randy, the XR-7 came in V6 and V8.

California was nice. But this is what I enjoy! Everyday cars with the occasional surprise. It's what I like about your channel. Waiting on the auction results for the cars you sold at IAA. Curious how they did.

[@bartscanland9415]

Z24 was the Nissan engine code, which predates the Cavalier Z24. The engine has a carburetor, ohc 8 valves, 8 spark plugs for cleaner emissions. I believe the '90 Hardbodys were equipped with the KA24E 12 valve sohc fuel injection.

[@vancebooker459]

Love the old Nissan Pickup!

[@kstricl]

My brother had an 85 Nissan with the 2.4 - he found out the hard way that they are somewhat prone to head gasket failure between cylinders 3 and 4. His burnt the head and the cylinder, basically totaling the truck (it was pretty rusty.) I'm not sure if Nissan had addressed the issue by 89, but might want to check the torque on the head if you do pick this up just to be safe. Sounds good though, so it may not be an issue. Before it went though, the truck would run 75 down the highway all day without missing a beat.

[@krazyhippy]

Love that old Nissan, takes me back to my grandpa's farm. It will run forever and are great little trucks.

[@jacksonc.9854]

If you want to feel like you're on a Rollercoaster get the focus used to have a 2017 focus traded it in plus it started to leak
