Got another Meerkat
 

I had a VW Golf that I traded even up for a Merkur, but not like the red one. This one is a Scorpio. Here is the VDubb:

It needs some work, but hey, what 1989 doesn't?

WOW

I don't get it.

did they sell those here in the states?

I bet you must get tired of all the people rubber-necking when they pass by that majestic fleet of yours!

Roadcone, they sold them here in 1988 and 1989, and the fleet isn't mine. The other 2 in the background were other junkyard finds by the other guy that likes these cars.

congrats

you mean theres 2 people in beaufort that like those cars?

just curious what is your "attachment" to these cars? i mean, to each his own, but i cant grasp this.

not hating on you just sincerely curious if its childhood car or something.

No, not in Beaufort, are you crazy? The other guy is in Delaware, where the top picture was taken.
And the "attatchment" I have is that they are different. Everyone has a Mustang, or Camaro. No matter what you do to them, someone has done the same thing. With my car, its much easier to "personalize" it, without copying someone else. I just like different. Ive owned a 71 Pinto, and a 90, 93, and 94 Taurus SHO, and have gotten asked the same questions for them.

Until youve owned a '86 Ford Tempo with stuff done you aint different, you aint shit.

Lol!

I had an old Fiat Uno-45 in Italy. Comeatmebro! lol

Like the frame held together with subframe connectors? LOL. and a flowmaster!

What about a primer gray Ford EXP???!!!! My first G Ride! Of course it was given to me by my grandfather at 16 and died shortly afterwards.

Exp works for damn sure

I remember working on the Merkur models back in my Ford dealership days. Neat cars for sure at their time, but today's technology blows anything from that bygone era away now.

I will say one thing about the Merkurs back in the day, the ride quality and handling was very German like when compared to the rest of the Ford line at the time. The Scorpio was kind of unique in that it had the 2.9L Ranger V-6 in it, but with a double blade throttle body. That car didn't even dive when jamming on the brakes from 80-0mph.
