shoopeach posted:ya I feel that a reg e30 should be worth around 1-2k, yet they're always at least double that. Anything in the 1-2k range is an eta that hasn't had its oil changed in years. You can't even get a Mustang II for under $2k anymore, the heyday of cheap used cars has come and gone. Seriously, it's hard to find a g-body for a good price. That's unbelievable, who the hell wants an 80's Regal that isn't a GN?

We don't have CL here, but we do have Gumtree. I found this ad. I don't know what the deal is. It seems like some farmer was the ultimate hoarder. Anyway if there are any Goons that live out near Ballarat could you please, please, please go have a look? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ballarat-central/cars-vans-utes/a-collection-of-cars-boats-trucks-and-caravans-for-sale/1009039629 quote:Hi Farm clearance sale of car collection individually or a collection. Then there's it's Avoca friend. Still not 100% sure it's not related. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/avoca/cars-vans-utes/1975-other-other/1010302784 Seriously if anyone's local. Please go have a look. Looks like things are priced to sell and it might almost be worth trailer rental and the horrible long haul. I won't lie. I have my eye on that red Niva. e: Oh poo poo! I see a Falcon pano, a ZL-ish Fairlane and a Land Rover in fairly good condition too.

Lightbulb Out posted:Now regular E30s just need to appreciate... Come up north. The 4k rustfree, 100k mile 5spd e30 I bought in 2008 would easily get 6k up here. Although sometimes there are gems. I test drove a turbo M10 e30 that put down 235whp at 13psi. I waited a couple days to decide and it sold out from under me for 4k

Sir Cornelius posted:Unless the paint is code 184. Sorry dude.   Body and interior is pretty clean (uncracked dash!) but I got a multitude of stupid things to fix on it. It's got a vacuum leak and a miss on initial throttle in, guy put a Z3 shifter in but somehow janked up the linkage so it's offset weird, it needs the SI board batteries replaced cause the gauge cluster is all fritzed out. I'm going to deal with that stuff and turn around and sell the wheels + tires and put my Ronal LS's on it.

loving e30s, so jealous. I'm gonna guess he put the shifter linkage in backwards (is it sitting far forward?), or he flipped the offset connector at the transmission.

When I put in the Z3 lever on my E30, I had to add a slight bend in the selector lever just slightly to get it to clear, so maybe they hosed it up. That looks like a nice clean E30, Moxie!

That looks like a nice clean E30, Moxie! Thanks! I paid too much for it IMO but I always wanted a really clean plastic bumper coupe in a decent color and it's a good starting point. Local kid was selling it and I had the $$ so why not.

As long as there's no rust and its clean, which it looks to be, you can't really go wrong.

I am absolutely kicking myself for not seeing this earlier: http://novascotia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1996-Volvo-850-R-Wagon-forsale-or-trade-W0QQAdIdZ438623739   quote:Time to let this go. A lot of you know the car, but its a 1996 Volvo 850R wagon. Standard shift, 5 cylinder turbo. Car has a complete 3 inch OBX stainless turbo back exhaust. An aftermarket front mount intercooler. A three inch throttle body from a N/A Volvo 850. The factory turbo control valve was replaced with a manual boost controller. SNABB 3 inch intake kit, a heavy duty IPD compressor by-pass valve. IPD front and rear sway bars and upper strut bar. IPD braided stainless brake flex lines. Lowered on FK springs and fk rear struts. Car is chipped with an ARD greed tune and is running 18 psi. This car works very well. Very well mannered, yet pulls very hard when you want it too. Apparently someone already offered a trade for it and he's probably gonna take it.

His car is a 'replica' only in the loosest sense, but that part isn't wrong. E: or is that the joke? That his choice of wording is technically accurate, but almost certainly isn't the same engine? Sometimes I'm bad at this
