Who cares if the Cougar is a V6. Like you said, “nicer, newer, cleaner & lower miles”. I enjoy affordable cars. Most of us enjoy your channel because you’re not flaunting wealth and money, and we can’t relate to Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Swamp Vette, the Tempo, and of course the 59 Dodge... this is content I enjoy, and look forward to watching. Thanks!
That Nissan Z24 hi Idol is from a bad vacuum leak it's actuallyquite a very common problem on those engines if you look it up on Google check the wax solenoid idol valve what was that light on the dash for
That Nissan hardbody has the Z24 Electro-injection engine with the 8 spark plug setup. I had the same engine in my '86 4x4 king cab 5-speed ST.. miss that truck. Great content as always
The CORVETTE AND THE M6 ARE beautiful beast's man sounds good , looks good , beautiful sports dream rider FOR SURE!!!! loved them , PERFECT REBUILD PROJECT'S AND best of all both were at cheap bids really , DANNNNGG SONNNN!!!! , loved the saab , the nissan D21 HARDBODY and the 2020 Blazer which looks beautiful and stunning and perfect project rebuild AS WELL. Awesome video Randy , great walkaround , lovin' it with the Corvette and the M6 looks stylish and stunning as they would be in LA . Stay Safe & God bless you.
It isn't a low coolant light, it's low washer fluid light. It has coolant, and washer fluid. The light is just stuck on. The open door lights is stuck on also.
@@ronniebuchanan6575 lol 😆 I was thinking 🤔 the same thing I guess he got a little carried away like I do cuz its just hard to not obsess over some of these old somewhat classic time capsules
That Hardbody would look amazing on air or even a static drop with some different wheels and fresh paint and maybe some used or cheaply refurbished seats.
The good old Nissan Z24 engine was nearly indestructible and bullet proof. Having a 4 cylinder with eight spark plugs made those Z24 engines a very snappy engine for there time.
@@copcarguymn yep the ford r2.3 had a 4 and 8 spark plug option which was for maximum fuel economy back then and emissions even a few other vehicles had it
You should give that little Rio at 13:43 a shot. Ik it’s a eco box little car but I drive a stick and it will surprise you how good and fun it really is
I can’t wait to see what you do with the Nissan I had two of those back in the day a 2 Wheel Dr. in a four-wheel-drive and I loved them both and a what color were they? yes red!
Not much in common with Vectra C (not Astra). They share the same platform which was an international project of various GM divisions (Epsilon II). The whole interior, exterior, rear suspension, engine (2.0 block mostly designed by Lotus, other stuff by Saab) and all the electronics are completely different.
On the Jag, for future reference, there is a key hole for the boot if you look under the boot chrome strip where you were pushing the boot release at the back.
21:12 Since Jaguar was owned by Ford at that time, I have a very similar key. It goes to my 2006 Ford Mondeo. Can't the Nissan truck be converted to EFI? I know that there are conversion kits out there.
I was stationed in Georgia and used to rent them from Enterprise and always had a great ride to Jersey and back . I know you had a lot of work to do on the other one but this one is looking much better than that one. Cleaned and detailed you’ll make money Randy.
The Saab 🤩 The 650i is a sick car but it can bite you without a proper maintenance, but hey! that's content GOLD! You already won the hard body and I'm happy for that! Aaaand that Vette could be a score!
I bought the 1997 Mercury Cougar XR7. It's a great car. I drive it all the way from Oklahoma to Houston with no problem. I haven't decided if I'm going to fix it up and keep it or sell it.
California was nice. But this is what I enjoy! Everyday cars with the occasional surprise. It's what I like about your channel. Waiting on the auction results for the cars you sold at IAA. Curious how they did.
Some paint, air ride or lower it on a budget with a static drop new wheels and refurbished interior or redone on a budget. Would make for some cool content for the channel and a cool little through back mini truck.
Just to let no rainy too on those Nissan's those z24 motors they are originally inside the cars back in the 70s and '80s those motors were built for the cars and they put them in the pickup trucks but I love that body style though I'm glad you got that truck I hope you have fun with it
Good video. I own a cammed C6 Z, supercharged running 660whp ( that was before I put the supercharger ), so I’m dyno running in April. I think I’ll push 750whp + . What do you think I’ll hit with my supercharger? My mods are in my about.
My brother had an 85 Nissan with the 2.4 - he found out the hard way that they are somewhat prone to head gasket failure between cylinders 3 and 4. His burnt the head and the cylinder, basically totaling the truck (it was pretty rusty.) I'm not sure if Nissan had addressed the issue by 89, but might want to check the torque on the head if you do pick this up just to be safe. Sounds good though, so it may not be an issue. Before it went though, the truck would run 75 down the highway all day without missing a beat.
Z24 was the Nissan engine code, which predates the Cavalier Z24. The engine has a carburetor, ohc 8 valves, 8 spark plugs for cleaner emissions. I believe the '90 Hardbodys were equipped with the KA24E 12 valve sohc fuel injection.
Hey Randy, this is not short. Looks like you were going to do 2 videos but ended up putting them together into one. What happened to all your cars sold on IAA? I think you'd do well with another Vette video over all the rest here.
My buddy got his Nissan hardbody new in 97 when we were in high school he still has it his son drives it now to that same school we went to lol its in pretty good shape. Z24 should have 8 plugs
Randy I did enjoy looking at the cars you showed us from Cali But I would rather look at what I can afford than what I wish I could , like women 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks bud
Nissan Truck Good Project Randy Have you seen the new Trailblazer? Looks like a Soul but a little bigger Thanks for another good walk around Have a good day
Funny thing about those older Nissan trucks For some reason behind the Dash gets a little hot It doesn't seem to be anything major league wrong with the vehicle but what it tends to do is melt the speedometer needle so it Benz I have seen quite a few of them where the needle either broke off or bent at a weird angle because of The speedometer Stop pin
The G6 sounds like lifter rattle. I have a 94 lesaber with the 3.8. Hey are know for the old oil gumming the lifters and making them stick. Should free up after 30 minutes of idling . If not put some resin oil in the oil and it will clean the lifters. I put it in mine and have had no problem since
Ooof... that SAAB is stunning! I had a 2.0 Vector Sport and it was the best car I ever had. Except.... they tend to break front coil springs. Also the buttons have a rubberised coating which starts the rub off.. But.. I would easily buy and drive another today.
I love the corvette too depending on the price but I really wish there were some manual ones out there still it seems like all the good ones are gone or something
_Surely keep us posted on the '91 Yellow Corvette convertible. That L98 fired right up, and sounded healthy! It's tough having to see this C4 drop top gem neglected, because long long ago it was somebody's baby._
Randy second post for me you really need to find another resale dealer so you can wholesale these cars you like after playing with them . At least until mike gets things sorted out . He is definitely your go to guy 👍🏻
I had an 89 LS but there was an XR7 for the same year and the 89 and 90 only came in 6 cylinders which makes no sense considering every other year except for the 99-02 which had either a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder
"A really good PDR guy could get that out" is a classic Randy line and should be on a shirt!
even I say it now when talking cars with friends
Right up there with:

This is why I enjoy his channel. He is different from Samcrac, Tavarish and Hoovie.
Those Vettes are going to definitely start up. Yessuh 👍 💯
I really like that Saab!! you’re hilarious Randy!! Have a great day!!
Love those walk around at los angelas. Great. Love this one too.
But he hasn't barely tested the important window on these LA rides. I felt absolutely under-informed. 😂😂
That Saab is beautiful they’ve been going up in value as well!

I am happy with the average Joe cars that you do. 🥰 keep up the good work and the good content.
I agree. I don’t enjoy channels involving high end cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris, unless randy picks one up cheap!
@@gregt722 i agree average joe cars are the best i get excited
I love this channel and vice grips the best.
The Nissan truck is the best one you’ve actually shown today to me anyway
Hey Randy, thanks for the shout out man! That headliner looked like a goodin' like mine!
Anytime man! Love your content!
Bostonian Edition?
Does it run on baked beans?
Or maybe Sam Adams?
just called that because of the vinyl roof only the bostonian edition had this vinyl roof option
Clam chow-dah.

I had a 87 model Metallic Black Tornado Trofeo. W a Digital dash.
The cougar could be an easy flip vehicle for ya though.
I had an 88 Nissan hard body short bed regular cab Z24 5 speed truck we put it on the ground talk about some good times wish I still had it.
4.8 V8 at BMW is not the one that eats bearings. Its the V10 that does.
In that year the XR7 was a trim package, either engine was available. Also, did you notice the low coolant light? Betcha head gasket is done.
It isn't a low coolant light, it's low washer fluid light. It has coolant, and washer fluid. The light is just stuck on. The open door lights is stuck on also.
@@Broke_Guy oops you're right. My bad 👍
" probably one of my shortest walkarounds ever in history "
Man its 50 minutes :D I remember those days when a walkaround was 20-25 minutes.

That Nissan Hard Body is a steal. Would make great content and people really like them. Weird Beard loves them. Like that Saab also.
Need to run through these real quick but sees a 52 minute video
Can’t wait to see the Nissan hardbody after paint!!

I would definitely be interested in content on that red Saab
Great video👍
That Nissan pickup will be cool😎

That z24 is the holy grail nissan motor tough as nails
That Saab is basically an Opel Astra, they always do that when parked for a while. The car is absolutely fine mechanically.
Vectra c *

The 650i is a sick car but it can bite you without a proper maintenance, but hey! that's content GOLD!
You already won the hard body and I'm happy for that!
Aaaand that Vette could be a score!
That Saab😍 those things eat through coil packs, happened on my '06 when I had it, always been the cause of the miss
I had an 89 Nisaan hardbody 4 wheel drive bought it new. Ran the wheels off of it. Drove 90 miles round trip to work everyday.
I bought the 1997 Mercury Cougar XR7. It's a great car. I drive it all the way from Oklahoma to Houston with no problem. I haven't decided if I'm going to fix it up and keep it or sell it.
Oh thanks for the tip on the Ford focus. I hope mine never goes out. I can't afford to get that fixed

I own two. My 86 4x4 and 91 2wd slammed. Both ext.cabs. absolutely love it man
I'm a old Hardbody and B2200 guy my self. My buddy still has his 97 Nissan he bought new still drives it weekly nothing wrong with it never rusted
Those old v6 3.8 ford motors were gutless but reliable as hell.
Z24 was the Nissan engine code, which predates the Cavalier Z24. The engine has a carburetor, ohc 8 valves, 8 spark plugs for cleaner emissions. I believe the '90 Hardbodys were equipped with the KA24E 12 valve sohc fuel injection.
2.4 liter, some ran 8 plugs on the 4 cylinder, and it was generally best to look for a single plug distributor,
and blank off the others.
15:00 That Focus will more than likely need a TCM. TCM failure usually causes them to loose gears.
Not one Bentley in the bunch. Must be back in Oklahoma. Thank's for the follow along, Randy. Always great to see what's offered.

Love that Merc, and the XR7 also come with a 3.8L v6.
I'd say try and buy the first 3 cars along with the hard body and the vett. They'll be a win with content.
If you want to feel like you're on a Rollercoaster get the focus used to have a 2017 focus traded it in plus it started to leak
Good to see you again buddy how are you and the bike doing be car full on it take care be safe

Cougar XR7s can be either v6s or v8s I've had both 8 cylinder and a 6 cylinder cougars
Shame about that jag, you can get booster/jump connecters that work through the cigarette lighter.
Might help the next time you have that problem.
Try to get the Saab.
Those 9-3 aeros are beasts when you tune them.
That C4 rag top could be a winner if the purchase price stays low...would be nice to see it saved.
Would have been nice to hear more on the Merc SL. And that Vette, I would have to take chance. Some nice stuff this time around.
I love the corvette too depending on the price but I really wish there were some manual ones out there still it seems like all the good ones are gone or something
