Is that the original color? If so, and it's Sea Green like it looks, I think it's either a '69 or '70...

...but the real guy to ask, if it's the same two-digit SAAB expert guy I know, is infrequent commenter here Chip Lamb: [jalopnik.com]

FWIW, I got my info from [www.saabmuseum.com]

]]> <![CDATA[SeanKHotay commented on Scout II Down On The Copenhagen Street, With Bonus Saab 96]]> Unless something's modified or retrofitted, the SAAB is either a '72 or '73. (bumper overriders '72-; metal grill -'73)

]]> <![CDATA[SeanKHotay commented on Twingo Renault Sport Pocket Rocket, Now With 133 HP And Awesome Pedals]]> ...the clutch pedal gets a "pause" emblem, brakes get the stop logo, and gas gets the play symbol...

Does it have the optional marketing outtakes, engineering commentary, and deleted styling dreams? (don't care about the advertising trailers)

]]> <![CDATA[SeanKHotay commented on 1946 Chevrolet Pickup Truck]]> @grrgle: "...stop trying to lard them up with what something else might not be.

I think today's Ford SuperDuty offerings come pre-larded.

And how many SD diesels went down since they got rid of the 7.4L in, what, 2000? I know of one big city ambulance service with only 17 of 37 '03s and '06s running at one point.

But, yes, my '94 F350 7.4L is running strong at 276Kmi...with a $13K new drivetrain including axle rebuilds.

Sorry to poke a stick in your beehive but it's all a matter of opinion and perception...

]]> <![CDATA[SeanKHotay commented on 1946 Chevrolet Pickup Truck]]> I'm pretty sure this Chevy shares an owner with the '62 Corvair van; they park on the same block, both are generally loaded with painting gear, and each has a white-and-blue paintjob.

This is surely a lean company. They're making full use of their existing capital equipment.

For compliments? I woulda thought the percentage would be higher than that...

]]> <![CDATA[SeanKHotay commented on Ford Reveals 2009 Super Duty Cabela's FX4 For "Hook And Bullet" Crowd, "Big Hog Daddy" Harley-Davidson Edition F-450 For Leather And Chaps Crowd]]> @Ash78 & abgwin: Ford's still ordering the King Ranch wheel so, unless building a King Ranch Wheelhenge, it's still on.

Actually, the Cabela leather sounds like its the King Ranch with Cabela stitching...that's the only analine leathers they're using (brown and a reddish). There's a Harley analine qualified but, AFAIK, they're not using it (just regular old black top cut leather).
