@ccasteel 76 ford courier correct?

 

[ccasteel]

1975 Ford Courier. Made by Mazda. It's only been driven about 1300 miles since its last oil change in 2001. Rosey's great great grandfather bought it new in '75. As the story goes, he was really pissed when he first raised the hood and found out it was made in Japan.

Even has the Nippondenso logo in the speedometer. Love it! 4 speed or auto?

 

[kc_chevota]

I'm sure its a 4-spd all the 1st cars he gets the kids are manual

That's cute!

 

[ccasteel]

Rob is correct. All my kids start out with a manual. This one is a 4 speed. Rosey was super excited as evidenced in the pictures. She has already named it Porter after her great great grandpa.

Yep

 

[rockstate45]

Yep

Haha thought it was when I saw you pass but wasn't 100%. The tires look great on there. What was your deciding factor of those over the Goodyears? (I remember sizing was an issue...)

 

[Flatlanderfj40]

Wanted 10.50 vs 12.50. GY didn't make them

Also they are a much better tire. Great choice, looks sharp.

In preparation for an upcoming trip and getting new shoes tomorrow, I added some spacers to the spare to raise it 1.5 inches. Got in a rush and didn't take after pics. But, boy howdy, do I love that Texas undercarriage.
