keiser31 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'll take the white 5-speed........ohhhh...you meant for YOU to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Reichert Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 White 5 speed by far. Just hook up a frightening siren to alert you to overheating the engine. You don't want to overheat one of 500 heads. Hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Such a deal, what a great grandpa you have. SoCal huh? Where are you, LA, OC Riverside? We have regular meetings of TC's and their related cousins the FWD Chryslers/Doges of the late 80's/early 90's. I mentioned the location in the other thread you've posted in. PM me for any additional details you need. Welcome tot he best TC forum on the web:)PS If you choses anything BUT the White 90 5 SPD car, I'll have to dis-own you:p Also that 'purple' you mentione is called 'Royal Cabernet' and likely has the "Bordeaux" interrior (could be Ginger tho)Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImperialNorth Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The cabernet was not offered in 1990, so not sure if thats a 1990 or its a repaint?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest socal3 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm 26 so the style of the car still has to grow on me, since my real love is my 93 RX-7. He just told me he wants the 5pd oh well. But for some reason I like the 'Royal Cabernet' I think it looks classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImperialNorth Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm with you, that's why I bought the Royal Cabernet, I would have preferred a black & ginger but maybe the next one( I wish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest socal3 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I just can't belive he got all 5 cars for 13k. I don't know what the guy was thinking. I don't think I can get 5 civics for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d_voitel Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 13K for five TC's? That's incredible! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild bill Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 As far as the royal cabernet or red just a matter of color preference, intertior color may sway you also. Nothing wrong with the white either just higher mileage to consider. Watch out for the bug, when you get bitten you too can wind up with 5 very easy. Have grandpa put the 5 sp in the will for you or 1st buyers rights. Check for tool kits and umbrellas they came with. Wife washes out with yellow, complextion concerns. Already too many white cars in the past. Personally I like all the exterior colors. I think you will get used to the style especially after you take a few corners. More exsidingly abundant bountiful help on this forum than you could ever pray for. But we all can't spell right. Welcome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some reason I like the 'Royal Cabernet' I think it looks classy.Sweet, so roll out the Royal Cab to the next meeting and I'll show you some 'tricks' you can do. The styling took me a while too as I am 'young-ish' as far as the TC Masi crowd goes (sorry guys, but C'mon you knmow what I mean right;)?) but there is much to love about these unique cars:cool: First thing you need to do is remove the hartop and store it somewhere dry and safe. Then drive the car around on nice sunny SoCal days, soon you will be doing evenings and nights too. Trust me on that one. I never put the hardtops back on once they come off! Just don't need them where we live and top down cruising is what these cars were made for:) Want more speed and power, we can work that out too:D You still didn't say where you live...Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest socal3 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah I live out in Palmdale CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Drive out to Applebees tomorrow night, 1238 Imperial Hwy, La Habra. About 60-70 miles from Palmdale but there will be some TC's and knowledgible folks there from 8pm-midnight. I'll bring my new TC if you bring yours:cool:Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest socal3 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I wish but I work two jobs and the second one ends at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Keep us in mind, we had only 2 TC's last night but plenty of sibling cars, lot's of Daytonas, Lebarons, turbo Omni's, even a few Shelby's. 28 folks showed up at Applebees last night and when I left at midnight there were still 15 or so poking around under hoods and swapping stories:cool: Always the firts Thursday, 13+ years at the same location...Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImperialNorth Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Allan, wish I were closer I enjoy what we call "cruise nights" unfortunately I'd have to install snow tires to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d_voitel Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 During the Spring/Summer months we have them in Mout Airy, MD as well. It's open to all makes/models Classics, Rods, Customs whatever. There's an Ice Cream stand where we all meet on the first and third Saturdays of the month. The local Lion's Club brings music and some sort of fun for all. It's really a hoot and a lot of people come to enjoy the cars, friendship and ice cream. I'm the only one to bring a TC, so it gets a lot of attention. When I tell the story of how I found the car and how much I paid for it, their jaws drop! My wife takes a '92 Imperial as well. It's a fun, free evening of enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImperialNorth Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Within a 60 mile radius of me, I can go to a "Cruise Night" every night of the week. Companies like Canadian Tire, A&W & Home Depot host our events. Some of these nights we might get 15 to 20 cars. Some locations we get 150 or more cars.Unfortunately in 2009 the weather didn't cooperate and neither did the Packard, she has heating issues. I am really looking forward to taking the TC this coming season that's why I am trying to get the work done to it over the winter so she is ready to roll by April 1st (weather permitting).
