The K-car was Chrysler’s Swiss army chassis in the 80s. They made literally everything out of that platform: subcompact cars, midsize cars, luxury sedans, sports cars, minivans, and yes, even pickup trucks. On the bright side, they are dead simple and because they made so damn many of them, it would probably be easy enough to keep one running forever for cheap. On the downside, they are cheaply built, underpowered, rust prone tin cans that felt and drove like a shitbox when they were brand new, and I’m sure 40 years has not improved that situation.

Id like to learn stick on a rust bucket like that and turn it around for no profit. Cant do that now. Itd be a proper grocery getter for that learning span

 

[XR7-4.6]

The Rampage wasnt technically a K car as Omni/horizon for which it’s based predates it a few years. Fundamentally they’re similar.

They’re not bad tbh. Front wheel drive is a dirty word in modern standards but EARLY front wheel drive for which those fall was light nimble and a fairly unique driving experience, crude as they were. It’s not good handling per say but extremely tossable in a way that’s hard to describe and nothing like modern FWD.

Learning stick is much easier on a torquey car than a small engined car, I felt like I’d never master it driving (or attempting to drive) Civics at the time I learned but moderately sized V6s and V8s is where it’s at, stalling is actually difficult.

I don't know if I've ever seen a four headlight Rampage in person. There can't be many of those rolling around. All I've ever seen are the single headlight versions. I think they are kind of cool. Their proportions are pretty good for a car/truck. Would be cool to put an SRT-4 engine and 5 speed transmission in one, but then again I say that about every 80's Chrysler that came with a 2.2L.

 

[MadMikeyL]

I wouldn’t even do that, just crank up the boost on one of the older turbo motors. I remember when I was in high school, one kid had an 80s Caravan with the turbo-4 and a home-made boost controller, and it was hilarious watching him do FWD burnouts with the fake wood paneling.

It’s a 93

I learned stick in 5 minutes, on a 1600cc Subaru. I had no issues whatsoever with it. I already knew how to use a clutch, from 10 years of riding a bike.
Some peeps never learn, and kill clutches repeatedly. I would recommend Subaru's for learning; they apparently have a lock om the 'hill holder' feature. It helps a lot, when you're learning. The idiot that bout my tbird never learned to use a clutch properly, so his Harley eats two a year, and 3 sets of rear brake pads; he also never learned to use the front brake either, lol. his Harley hasn't run in 10 years because he let a chain wear until it broke, and it broke the cases. It took him less than a year to trash the tbird.

1998 lincoln mark viii for sale by owner - Kent, WA - craigslist

122 k miles, runs good, has been lowered in a trade, don't know a lot about it. Call or text .

seattle.craigslist.org

Here is Mark VIII that would be good for parts. It is not very far from me, so I am seriously thinking about it. But what parts would I really want or need? I've read here about the driveshaft but beyond that I am not sure what would be useful.

 

[KevinVarnes]

It has a slightly better 4R70W, aluminum rear pumpkin, aluminum rear lower control arms, and the 4V 4.6 if you are up for an intense engine swap but dang that thing looks like a runner to me. Hate to see a good 97/98 Mark VIII parted out.

I thought it was the earlier Mark VIII's that had the good driveshaft, but I cannot remember anymore.

If that were close to me and not rusty I'd grab that pretty quick.

has been lowered in a trade

I think what he means here is the air bag suspension has seen better days and doesn't work so well anymore.

 

[Kenz]

93 was the year marks got the one piece aluminum driveshaft. The other years are not really an improvement besides no rust.

I basically gave away my 93 when I moved. There is a reputable seller on ebay that sells them every so often, I got mine from him for 300 shipped. That was also about 8 years ago so they are probably double that now if you can find one.

If any 94-95 needs a 96-97 hood/headlight/header panel swap it’s that one!

Add Octastars, and @XR7-4.6 will have a nervous breakdown.

Those are aftermarket pep boys wheels with Lincoln emblems glued to them. Ford never ever used screw on center caps.

Holey smokes! I got mine for $80... though that was 15 years ago when they were easy to find. At this rate, the drive shaft is worth more than the car!

I think I sold mine for $80 after the 5 speed swap. Considering I paid $25 for it when I pulled it it seemed like a nice profit. I’d feel like a thief if I sold it for $300, you can almost get a new custom driveshaft for not much more!

They’re not rare per day beyond attrition. That airbag however is gen 1, gen II as you know has the separate emblem, not just the embossed logo like us peasant Tbird/cougar owners got

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

Speaking of rare:
How rare are the OEM transmission coolers including the OEM mounting brackets? You know, the ones from that torque converter shudder TSB.
One of the junkyard cars here has it, and I was wondering if it's worth anything.

I haven't ever seen a picture of one before but have heard of them in old posts. I would assume they are a rare item. As for the value probably not worth much because most people would rather install a new aftermarket model that has more cooling capacity.

IMO it would be a neat item to have, so if it's not hard to take off it's worth getting. However you have past said you are low on storage space. So unless you like collecting interesting items for these cars or want to use it on your Tbird; maybe not worth it for you.

 

[theterminator93]

I've never seen one but I'm guessing it's the inferior tube-and-fin design (not the stacked plate design) which is what they used for the PS fluid coolers. Since the effort to install an aux cooler is going to be about the same for whatever kind of cooler you put in, it makes more sense to me to just get a new stacked plate cooler with a much higher BTU rating, which can be had for < $100.
