    Illegal GT 500 KR

    Normally I lurk in the 5.0 talk section, but this intrigued me. My dad took this pic of a window sticker for a Shelby GT500KR at McCafferty Ford in Langhorne, PA. The window stick says it is "NOT LEGAL FOR SALE" and "Not legal to operate on streets, roadways and highways" What gives?

    Rough acceleration

    Convert care

    HI, the 1990 I just pickep up has a white top. What is a good way to keep it clean? I can see where the previous owner used some kind of cleaner because I can see the cleaner spots versus the darker/dirtier spots? Any ideas on a safe cleaner?

    HVAC Controls

    OK...the AC doesn't work in my car. I am fine with that, it is 18 years old. The question is that the temperature control switch will not go to either extreme. Physically, the dial stops before it hits what were the stops in the 93 and 88 cars that I had. Has anyone had experience with this?

    Part numbers

    Hi, After 3 long years I am finally starting to get my 84 SVO roadworthy. The 2.25 per gallon gas prices are helping that choice. I have a few questions, and being a new father, I don't have much time to research the answers, so I am banking on your knowledge. 1. I need exhaust from cat...

    I finally got my brother to look at my svo. He is a tech and has a quick 87 turbo regal, so I trust his recommendations. He said that I should replace the plugs/wires, cap and rotor. What type should I get? I have just become a father, so money is a little tight, but I still want to get this...

    opinions on gauges

    Happy New Year!! I am finally getting my svo on the road. Should I leave the boost gauge alone, or should I get a gauge like I see other people having? If I get a boost gauge I was going to mount it in one of those pillar mounted gauge pods. the ones I have seen are usually 2 or 3 holes...
