This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Here's a nice Fox Ford Find from New England, courtesy of FuzzyPlushroom. More »

While on the junkyard expedition that netted photos of a Black Gold 280ZX and the Groovalicious Purple Princess Of Peace Taurus, I ran across a couple of young dudes who were researching potential LeMons ideas.

Not all the cars at next month's 24 Hours Of LeMons Arse Freeze-A-Palooza are as gloriously twisted as the CBR900RR-powered Geo Metro or Ghettocharged Frankenmiata, but even a run-of-the-mill Fox Mustang can show up with a great theme. That's exactly what's going on with Team Huey Newis And The Lose, who have painted their '85 Mustang in a painfully 80s pink-and-gray combo and are now assembling team uniforms comprised entirely of Members Only gear. Yes, these guys have a rich cultural vein to mine with their schtick, and you can read their mission statement (and see all the photos) by merely making the jump. More »

Ready for another round of Nice Price Or Crack Pipe? Yesterday, a decisive 89% of you felt that $6,500 was just too much to ask for a Datsun 200SX convertible, so it's off to Booth Number Two for that car! Today we've got something for you fans of vintage Detroit iron- a genuine, coach-built, 1-of-120-built 1981 Ford Fairmont Futura Durango pickups, or, as we like to call such a vehicle: a Fairmontchero!

Perhaps this ad is a bit lighter on the cocaine than the Hot Stuff '81 Mustang ad, but we're talking a few grams at most. Otherwise, it's all there: high heels, polyester, anorexia, miserable engine outputs... and the Ford Fox platform. The sad thing is that the Cougar's (claimed) 34 highway MPG would be pretty decent among the bloatmobiles that pass as "economy" cars today. More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5049723&view=rss&microfeed=true We can look at the 1980 Capri in two different ways. Was it yet another underpowered fake-sporty Detroit rattletrap, or the raw material for countless Fox Ford freaks who would stuff all manner of insane engines into its lightweight chassis? The Fox is the gearhead's friend, so we can't look at this car the way we'd look at, say, a Lynx or Monarch. In any case, this ad scores very high on the Malaise Era Cheepnis-O-Meter. More »
