That.

IIRC the posters he was selling were designed by other people, he didn't do any of the art himself, just tried to make money off other Goons' art.
I used past tense because while he was alive last time I checked, I'm fairly sure he was banned over the poster-sales thing and hasn't posted much since.


I want it. Even if it turns out to be complete poo poo, at that price you could probably make your money back selling the axles and scrapping everything else.

Those are stock XJ wheels, almost zero chance it's anything but stock axles. So... $300 worth of axles, maximum, unless one or two of the rear ones are dana 44s which is extremely unlikely. Even with two dana 44s in the back, it's no more than $700 worth of axles.

Also I don't even want to know what's going on under there, because there's no way there is enough space under the back of an XJ for the driveshaft and transfer case skullduggery needed to get both of the rear axles driven.

They do appear to have used a 2-door rear side window and body side to lengthen it, which would be the way I would do it.

Found this while looking for doritos-on-a-stick stuff:



Yeah, that's sure an $1800 car there. I don't feel too bad about what I'm wanting to ask for my rough-ish FC now.
Bonus points for posting a car/dealer that's in North Carolina in the Dallas, TX Craigslist.

Pre-bailout gm, with possible ignition recall issue, but for 1900 its tempting. The question is what is wrong with it.

Its the Barrett-Jackson effect and then people like Richard Rawlings doing a show about dragging poo poo out of a barn then selling it for a way more inflated price.

I am still waiting for the crash. I know Italian exotics did the same thing a while back, hopefully the prices crash soon. Late 80s and early 90's cars should not be commanding the price they have been lately.

I'm not sure if you're surprised or think this is somehow relevant. I don't think I'd buy any car with 300k on it.

I've never wanted a C5 (my dad has one) but since this is so cheap maybe I should try it out as a track option since I don't want to put a rollbar in the Miata.

I wonder how terrible the first model year of a revolutionary new car at GM is.

Early LS1s like that were known for piston slap when cold. Not as bad as the early Gen III truck engines, but it was a thing.

It is also a first year new gen with a very desirable color combo with a 6 speed. It's a great deal.

Driveline parts for that car are cheap and plentiful, but all the fiddly interior poo poo is normally wasted, and is completely unobtanium. That thing is immaculate.
