Hello everyone. I'm new here. This is a great site with a lot of useful information and some amazing cars. I know absolutely nothing about these cars. I've mostly owned Fords, but I do have a '91 S10.
I made an impulse purchase a couple of weeks ago. At first I was having second thoughts as I already have too many cars, but now I think it will stick around for awhile. I drove it 40 miles home and it drives nice. I know the 267 is pretty weak by today's standards, but its not too bad. I really like the size of the car and the boxy style stands out among all the bubble cars and SUV's on the road.
The paint is original and some of the front sheet metal was replaced at some time. The odo says 75K and the seller said it was actual miles, but I don't know for sure.
There's some surface rust in a few spots, but no holes anywhere and the frame is solid.
Ouch! This is the worst damage. The PO recently had the exhaust installed. It looks to be well done and it sounds great.
Interior isn't too bad, but the rear panels and the headliner will need some attention. The aftermarket receiver install looks a little sketchy. I was told that toggle switch is for the high beams, but I'm scared to try it.
PO was chasing down an interior leak so some of the trim is off, but I think its all there. I'll need to do something about those speakers.
The car runs good, but the choke doesn't work and the cruise control is not hooked up. I noticed the pcv valve was clogged and the vacuum hoses look like they're original so I'll need to catch up on some maintenance.
I probably won't be able to do much for awhile. My plans are to keep it mostly stock including the bench seat, 2v carb, and 14" wheels. The only thing I don't like about this car is the lack of gauges so I may do a cluster swap at some point.
