VideoTapir posted:Let me guess: someone who knows the exact minimum required to keep a car on the road, right? Basically. Every mechanic I've known agreed that it's a terrible idea to buy a car from them. They buy the cheapest thing they can find and spend as little as possible keeping it running until they have to replace it. You spend all day working on other peoples cars for years and years, it kinda takes the desire out of you. I can only think of a couple that're really into working on their own projects, but they've got pretty cush jobs that don't leave them covered in grease every day. edit You know what screams hot rod to me? The interior, transmission and engine from a minivan. The Prowler might be the most embarrassing car ever made. Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Apr 7, 2015 |

I've always kind of wanted to take one and then put in a real drivetrain. Something like a supercharged lsx with straight pipes out the side of the engine bay. hmmm: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-Corvet...f155b48&vxp=mtr hmmmmmmm: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-CTS-V-...162969928&rt=nc jamal fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Apr 7, 2015 |

That thing is an appalling heap of poo poo and I'd be embarrassed to be seen in it. Weren't those cars colossal turds to begin with? I remember when it was first announced and I thought it really looked amazing but it came and then shortly after, went silently into the night with barely a whimper.

Did they have pushrod suspension up front? EDIT: Actually looking at it all, it looks pretty advanced and sweet. Frankly with some time and money I bet a prowler could be a loving sweet car. 2800lb, push rod suspension on aluminum body. Maybe a Porsche cable operated transaxle. Who knows what else. All I need is an infinite budget. Sadi fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Apr 8, 2015 |

By the time you spend the truckloads of money it would take to un-gently caress a Prowler, you could just build a ground-up hot rod instead. They appealed to the people who wanted the look of driving a '32 Ford but are just too scared of carburetors and wrenches and distributors.

I saw one in the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg museum among actual classics from the time period that the Prowler tried to emulate, and it made it look that much shittier. Especially in the interior department.

My former best friend thinks the Prowler and PT Cruiser are the high points if auto design. And that's not even why we stopped being friends.

He sold it to me cheap but it was still a mistake. He later admitted to me that he had to make an emergency water pump repair on it, didn't have a gasket, so he just used some caulking he found in his garage.

My brother had a cokehead sort-of mechanic friend who would buy cars for like 200-500 dollars and run them into the ground. I recall one of them was an S-10 with no bed (and at some point no hood) that ended with him setting it on fire. He'd previously tried to kill it by high-marking in it. (Given that it didn't have a roll bar that would have probably killed him, too). He would typically have one valid license plate at any given time, and he'd swap it between vehicles without consulting the DMV about it. He got pulled over a lot.

Nah, one nearly the same sold here locally just last year. One owner, under 100K miles, no rust. Higher asking price. They crop up once in a while.

My mother sold her 1991 240SX Coupe back in 2006/2007ish for rediculously cheap before I could tell her not to. She was the original owner, 5speed, 63k miles, digital dash and HUD still functioned perfectly. It truly was a grandmother car that was only driven to church and back because that's where she happened to work. Some 18 year old bought it for $2000 and promptly added a body kit and rims. I haven't seen it in years so I assume he drifted it into a tree.

BIG HORNY COW posted:On a local FB group You can build that yourself for a lot less, all you need is some 53/54" milsurp tires, a deuce, a second set of front leaf springs and shackles/brackets, and an M101 trailer bed. Then you sell the extra rear axle and assorted parts to a redneck building a MEGA MUD TRUK for a couple hundred. Also he is a retard, it looks like, and just put flipped stock wheels on it. That's not going to do the wheel bearings any favors and it probably looks retarded with the front tires sticking a foot out of the fenders, which are already huge.

With all these guys making bobbed deuces, there should be a ton of center diffs laying around. Somebody should throw a whole bunch into 1 truck, make it articulate between each axle to turn. Snaketruck. Oh god, i need sleep.

A steering rockwell axle goes for 800-1500 all day, but the rears only get like 200-300 because everyone has a couple extras sitting there.

God drat I want this so bad - I shouldn't look on Craigslist when I don't have room/time/money for more vehicles 1975 Ford Courier Pick Up Truck - $1300 FOR SALE: 1975 "Ford" Courier. Built by Mazda for Ford, this little truck sports a dependable Mazda 4 cylinder engine, 4 speed transmission, utility box and a dually rear axle. Odometer reads 91816, but that cannot be verified. It is a bare bones work truck, good on gas and DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SMOGGED. It is exempt. Recent service includes rebuilt carburetor, new clutch slave cylinder, full tune up (cap, rotor, wires, plugs), new fuel pump, wiring was inspected and repaired (for lights) and the engine valves adjusted. It runs like a happy little sewing machine. A little grumpy when cold, but once warmed up, it's ready to roll. The dash pad is shredded. Tires are in very good condition. The bench seat looks brand new. This truck needs an ignition switch. Brakes are good, however they are drum all around and the mechanic advised a brake job sometime in the future. Registration is non-op, no DMV fees owed, clear title. And did I mention? NO SMOG! Asking $1300.  http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/4968132575.html Astonishing Wang fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Apr 16, 2015 |
