Speaking of crackpipe e30s...
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/4233702728.html

I don't see how an S52 swap and some rimz adds $11k to the price.

People are listing those for about what it would cost to build (assuming the donor was in good running shape and parts were bought new) and "BECAUSE E30" people are actually paying over 10k for S50/S52 e30s. I kinda like that they have absurd cult status because no one wants e36s and the prices on them these days are fantastic. I could grab a solid 328is for less than 1/3 the cost of that e30, or an M3 sedan for 2-4k less.

The iX worship these days is even more mind boggling. I had one - it was a fun car with the 40/60 AWD bias, but also had a good amount of problems. Anything related to the 4wd system is expensive as hell and generally unreliable, especially the front diff and viscous coupling in the transfer case. The front suspension travel is actually worse than a stock RWD car, and due to all the added weight 170hp and 3000lbs feels pretty slow even with the 3.93 diffs. They also get awful gas mileage for a car, like below 20mpg average. But despite all this people are paying more than good condition iS models. I don't get it. For that money give me a good condition 02+ WRX.

I have a weird thing for Mavericks, Falcons and early Novas lately. Makes me wish I had a lot of storage room and the ability to weld.

Saw an awesome Futura with rotten torque boxes, can't possibly be that hard to fix... Nor would be the other three thousand problems the PO hid or was too inept to detect.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/4258698259.html

quote:

What you're looking at is a LEGEND. This is no squeeky, rickity old HEEP or 'posh' MALL ROVER that breaks down when the going gets tough.

This is the ORIGINAL WORLD FAMOUS 80 series TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. The 1991 FJ80. Or as the Japanese like to call it, RANDO KURUZA! That is no joke. Just saying that name stirs up GODZILLA so you should probably GTFO of the way because it might just RUN OVER your little Suzuki Samu-what without even knowing it.

Driving in this will make your chest hair grow longer and bald spots more fertile than the Idaho potato farms. The first mullet haired maiden you look at will marry you and you will have not one off-spring but TWINS because that is the price RANDO KURUZA would ask from you.

Do you know what the ENTIRE freaking African Sahara, Congo, Kalahari and everything worth its salt on the PLANET drives when they just HAVE to get somewhere? You got that right it, Jenny, they ride the hill crushing LAND CRUISER.

The LAND CRUISER does not have time for the word "CAN'T" when it's busy chasing billy goats down the Himalayan mountains, or casually crunching over male Lion dung out in the bush, hunting some water buffalo with the driver's torso bouncing out of that man sized sun roof. MAN sized sun roof. Is there an echo? And it even has a ROOF RACK so you can tie that beast down when you're done fiddling around with your rifle and posing next to your trophy "4-Wheeler." Because real MEN don't POSE. They DO. And you will TOO, when you shift the transfer case into 'HI' with your clammy little pedicured feet on that throttle pedal.

And when your rich buddies are soaking in the rain waiting for a tow truck to haul their MALL ROVER RISK-Oh 2 for the 5th time this month, you can drive up and laugh at their expense for 23 minutes then tell them to get back in the CAVERNOUS 3rd ROW DUNCE seats because 2nd row is for your dog and anything smarter.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is some kind of "beater" or "hoopty." When GODZILLA took a dump after eating half of Tokyo, what do you think was left to fight him? Not the faded vinyl camo wrap falling off from the monster's stomach acid. Think harder, Trudy. It was the 4700 pound BRUTE FORCE ON 4 WHEELS pounding Godzilla's intestines with the thunder of 155 HORSES from that indestructible 4-liter 6 cylinder Sabre Tooth Tiger crammed inside its ladder frame. That's what. Just turning the ignition makes Godzilla belch PLASMA FLAMES uncontrollably from indigestion thinking of that day.

Did you get that 'little' detail? This is FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, not some piddly little part time wannabe that you can 'pop' into 4-low and pretend to go off-roading in your independently sprung twigs you call a suspension. This California's nightmare rides on SOLID AXLES only, so you better not high center that bulbous diff case on a rock or you'll get a 54mm socket smashed on the back of the neck because you forgot your hi-lift jack. This is not some cushy crossover car-based leather bag you're too scared to drive in the rain. This is the real deal. Do you think you can handle that, Cletus?

You know how to contact me. It's that little thing up there that says REPLY. It's that obvious.

Do it, or you will die regretting never having the honor of driving a REAL MANLY MAN OFF-ROAD TRUCK.

** And yes, the plates and inspection sticker are up to date. It shifts and runs like it's supposed to. A/C & Heat work. It has 4 brand new Falken A/T tires. It will drive to Greenland if you can pay a ferry to take you there. How you get back will be another story.

If you feel you're up for some nature wrangling, $2400 or your best offer is what it takes.

Come look at the truck before drawing any conclusions. I am selling because I need cash asap for a house, and without the shelter of a garage I have no more time to service the Land Cruiser.

It's not really a Lancia Beta, so it isn't quite as lovely as that notorious rust-bucket.

Beta Scorpion was a US-only badge, in the rest of the world it's a Lancia Montecarlo, which has a set of unique problems all of its own :buddy:

Fortunately 99% of that will come off with a bit of acetone and a quick rub with a lint free rag.

Careful around any plastic lights, though. They cloud up really loving fast when exposed to acetone, in fact it's the ingredient of (or one of the ingredients of) brakleen that causes fogged reflectors/lamps.

I'm not actually going to buy that dude, even for a grand. My girlfriend paid me back a large chunk of money she owed me, I could almost swing that Falcon without tapping my fun savings out. If we get the warm weather we were promised this weekend I'm gonna check it out.
