    VERY nice truck Tony !! Ford 4.9 300 straight 6?

    Thanks. ;)
    :) Nah...302 / auto . 35,850 miles now. I just looked up a 302 and see that it IS a 4.9 ltr. :D I've had it since "96" and don't know much about the motor??? I'm embarrassed! :#
    Looks like it has 205hp. Nope again...I was just closing out some windows and saw...205 for manual! :o 195hp for auto... :D So now I know... :)

    Just got it inspected Saturday.
    At the inspection station, a guy showed up with a newer Ford F150 that did have a 5.4 triton motor/ auto. That thing sounded a lot more powerful than mine for sure. :p:D
    That owner loves his truck too. B)

    I gave it a great cleaning the other day. Even under the hood, which had a lot of mildew under the lid, is now spotless.

    30 second cleaner is amazing. Like I said earlier, you can watch the stains disappear in a couple minutes. then rinse. ;)

    Those Ford straight 6's were pretty much bullet proof. Nothing wrong with the 302. Them suckers can be built to a nice hot rod motor

    Still driving my beater '91. Can sit for months but when I need it she fires right up!

    ^^^ mmm... doesn't look too beater/beaten to me. :)

    My poor ol' Taco was a beater -- 'specially late in life. Utterly reliable, though.
    She's a farm truck now in Maine... Ag plates 'n' everything. With a fresh frame under her (y'all know about the Toyota truck frame issues, I reckon), the drivetrain, I think, will keep goin' forever to a good approximation.

    @tony M yours is a beautiful truck.

    Mine can sit for months and fire right up too.

    My truck's mileage is correct. ;)
    The inspection shop manager commented on the low mileage too. A mechanic there called it the "shiny truck". :D

    I had a 90 but I had to give it up as the entire floor boards were salt eaten. Boy I must say Ford had some darn good carpet as it was the only thing between me and the road for a year. I wasn't too worried until I seen the area that held the bench seats was about to drop.....scared me good

    My guess is that '69 Cougar in the garage next to the Oldsmobile 442. :p

    Those are my end gamers.
    Please elaborate... they are beautiful, at least in the pictures, and the wood looks compelling, but are they really good enough to be end gamers?

    Genuinely curious! 🧐

    Considering their baby brothers are knocking it out of the park with reviewers, the driver selection is on par with my tastes and they just look absolutely stunning, how could they not be my end gamers?

    I have not heard them. Who knows they could suck. But I doubt it. I would have to set ears on them before dropping $7k for sure.

    Awesome @joecoulson. It would indeed be surprising if they did suck! 😉

    Big bookies do have a certain appeal. I guess I have always associated Wharfedale with much more affordable boxy designs, with an old-fashioned charm, which these are not.

    I do like what Air Motion Transformer tweeters I've heard for myself.
    Alea jacta est!
