So honestly, what happens with all of these terribly overpriced abominations in the end? Do they often find someone as delusional as themselves to unload on for something near the asking price? I mean seriously a chopped up 20 year old Fiero for 13k.

slidebite posted:1988 Fiero with a butt ugly "Ferrari" body kit? Well, to be fair it has an engine swap. I don't know if its the pushrod v6 out of a Camaro(l32), or the DOHC one out of the z24(lq1). I really doubt he's going to get 13k for it though.

They get stolen or break down, and end up in several different scrap yards, all over the world. That's what I like to believe.

comrade sampo posted:Isn't '77 just about the bottom of the barrel as far as horrible smog motors go? Yea, pretty much. EDIT: Also if wikipedia is to be believed they didn't make the LT-1 in 1977. The "performance" motor of that year was the L82 (350) at 210HP. Chances are it doesn't even have that. Dumbass owner aside I'd still love to have that car. Maybe not 10 grand love to but its gotta be decently quick regardless. AnomalousBoners fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Jul 13, 2009 |

IMHO an untouched 88 would probably be worth more. It would certainly be more desirable... especially with those KMs, Assuming those are even correct.

That big thing is called a bread box, there is no air bag there until 94, it is meant to cushion the damage to your passenger when you smash into something. Go GM!

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1264679334.htmlquote:1983 Volvo 242 $1,200 OBO 2 door 4 speed manual transmission with electronic overdrive Some rust on the rear wheel wells and around the doors Milage is unknown because the odometer stopped working at 113k. Runs and drives good Still has original tool kit Haynes repair manual included Feel free to call me or email through craig's list with any questions or to set up a test drive. Click here for the full 800x600 image. Literally the only 2-door I've seen within a sane driving distance from me. I have no idea how the 4-speed manual shifts are to drive, but this is pretty much what I want right now, minus the broken odometer. The color is even appropriately disgusting. I want to gut it, turbo it, and mortify everyone around me with it. I drove a sedan (with four doors) 240, later generation. Got involved in an almost head-on collision (caught most of it on the passenger corner) my first week of ownership. Crumpled my front end, absolutely ruining it. End result? Bolted the hood down and drove it, problem free, for two years. P.S.: Not pictured here: the terrific amount of rear wheel well rust. \/ \/ fixed.

I think that's still technically a sedan even though its a two door.

Likewise, failing mechanical speedometer cables are the most common problems with mkII mr2s. I've owned two and both had the same issue. mr2oc reports an apeshit volume of these also. cars get old, poo poo breaks. Especially wear items like mechanical speed sensors and what have you.

Cap'n rear end in a top hat wants you to buy his 289 '65 mustang for ONLY $25,000. Restored to "showroom" condition, including such features as a faded and mismatched interior. Filthy loving engine with all kinds of exposed wires running all over the place. Where that $30k went, who knows? No tire kickers please, don't waste his time. http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1237667702.html Tai-Pan fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jul 16, 2009 |
