It makes sense that the person losing $70,000 on a truck & considering it an 'investment' would be the same one liquidating their business's assets.

In this add, he's pretty much admitting that he's just flipping it. It still has temporary tags on rear window.

agree. Even if it were a cashflow issue... four years is ample time come up with the few hundred it would cost to have it tuned properly..

"Need a tune" is just a variation of the "just needs a tune up" that you see on craigslist or whatever. In reality, it won't do well on a leak down test, because it's been running pig rich for 3 years and has a list of problems that won't be cured by anything short of a complete teardown. Get your poo poo running straight before trying to sell it. If you can't, eat a lowbal offer. Offer that guy 4 grand. You'll spend the other 4 grand trying to unfuck it.

Continuing in the vein of "old german cars that I have no good reason to buy" we have this lovely audi 200. I'm guessing I can get it for under 1k, he says it runs great except it won't pass emissions (but that if I lean the CIS out it will pass) and there's almost no electrical gremlins!*

*Currently gremlins include nonfunctioning speedo, non-operational rear windows, and I'm sure many more that have not been mentioned. On the flip side, turbo i5!

He also has a 20v 90 coupe for sale (no ad) so I'm hoping to take a look at that too.

I've been wondering though, does a nonfunctioning speedo mean that the odometer doesn't work either?

More like 8k-12k to unfuck it.

He's only getting 300RWHP with a 6 cylinder and a turbo that big?

https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/5270220708.html



tired of all these china cars and their "error codes" and sensors and relays and ECU's

you don't need a delorean to step back in time..... just buy this lil truck

1979 Ford Courier

Built before the internet but after the age of candle lit headlights

but get this it still has the (1979) state of the art electronic ignition .... thats right you can actually work on this thing and not deal with adjusting them pesky points...

did somebody say points?
cause that's what everyone is going to be doing when you cruise at 3mph so everyone can see you strolling in this lil red hoop'D

too square you say? not nostalgic enough? say no more!
This beauty comes equipped with custom hand made cabinet grade hand stained door and kick panels reminiscent of the wood paneling walls in your dear ol' grandmas house!!

but the vintagesque doesn't stop there!!
The window cranks are actual glass door knobs!
no power windows in this post disco base line truck you'll be working your wrist crankin these windows up but you won't be working your wrists too long cause there's just enough room behind the older reupholstered with a split seam bench seat to put a pillow, a blanket and 1 if not 2 bottles of boone's farm , (duct tape optional) Trust me I used to be a professional...... the ladies are going to think this "lil" truck is sooooo cute they are sure to want a ride .... and well we all know what happens when you pull down that old gravel road to turn around ...... and this baby will do great on the street or old (rarely traveled) gravel roads with it's 3 like new toyo tires...... what about the 4th tire? never you mind that and don't look at the passenger side rear tire...it's fine

worried the masses won't see you coming?
no worries the muffler is blown and can be heard coming from 2 blocks away.... 3 blocks if your getting on it! not to mention the massive sucking sound the upgraded Weber carburetor makes when you get on it drifting into corners ...... (that 4th tire helps get her broke loose)

now this jewel was built in the US of A but right at the brink when we started importing cars and parts, that's why she's equipped with a Mazda 2.0 engine that runs great! and sounds like a sewing machine (your nana should appreciate that)

backed up with NOT the low geared 4 speed of yesteryear but the freeway capable 5 speed so you can jam gears slap that stick into 5th crack open the wing windows so the air can blow though you hair as you listen to Radar LOve on the Blaupunkt CD player ..... a german stereo in your piece of american steel? Get used to it cause you are now a hipster!

And.......... all this can be yours! IF.... THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!

disclaimer : hereby relinquish any responsibility or admission of involvement related to how cool one may become operating said vehicle and/or volume of cannabis consumed cause I mean look at it.....would ya just look at it... you know your gonna smoke a ton a weed in this rig. I mean dude... you smoke weed right? I mean it's cool if you don't but umm...... do you smell brownies?

Didn't know WTF a Greenwood Package was, but looking around, that moustache thing on the hood doesn't seem to be part of it.

https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/5273989238.html

quote:

Look as hard as you want...all over the country...you will never see another C4 Corvette like this.
Candy Apple Red, Black interior with the following special options:

Greenwood Package
Front and Real Spoilers
Roll Bar
Custom Glassed in side pipes
Color matches alloy wheels
alarm package

This unit turns heads and has been in my garage under a cover since I have owned it. It has been gone over bumper to bumper with my local mechanic and if something needs to be done...it's done.

Looking for a garage queen that you take out on the weekends to shows, or just for a drive...this is the car. There is nothing like it.

I will have no more room to keep it...so, if you do, this car is a winner.

Inspections by your mechanic are welcome, but no test drives....I will have this unit in Ebay as well, but would prefer to sell locally!

Any questions, please test me. Thanks
