It's official. My Tour is dead. I threw a rod, or a piston blew up or something inside my motor today while I was working on it. Not sure if I am going to do a 3.0 or just toss the whole car. Had it for 6 years and getting tired of working on a FWD platform. Will take offers if anyone is interested.

was a wussy boom or did it go out in style?

I was in my driveway and I heard it start to go so I shut it off before anything escaped externally, so I would say wussy. Car is up for anyone who wants it. Whole or parts. I may part it out cause I'll get more for it.

I'm calling dibs on certain things. I feel like a vulture.

NOOOOOOOooooOoooooOOOOOo......


I should probably elaborate a little more. I've called dibs through pm on all sheetmetal and interior, that is if he sells it. Everything else I won't have a use for

I have the post 98.5 Dash which is warped to hell! I'd prefer the pre.

OK- A bold move in an effort to keep the thread from being locked. Please PM me or call my cell if you are serious about certain parts. Ideally, I would like to keep her intact, but as long as she goes to a good home, or several homes. That is fine.

I will consider all FAIR offers. I know what everything is worth, and also know the overall amount I want for the car.
