I went to College in Eau Claire, and I still have a lot of friends living there... Maybe I get one to look.

How much for a ford falcon? https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=9947&lid=1583977&pgn=1&pgs=10 Only been up for a couple of days and already got a 320k bid. Will probably go over a million. It's a bloody ford falcon sedan with stickers on it!

I think Homologation models are different though. Still, that car has no pedigree.

Later, he and his brothers would buy 1959 Chevy pickups for $50 and run them into the ground (sometimes via a jump off a cliff). Turns out he was just making them more valuable for everybody else. Any minute now, the cars of my childhood will be collectible. Fox-body Mustangs already are. And the Taurus wagon that I described as looking like a melted frog back in the day ... I want one now (did they make the wagon with the boat motor?)

Boat motor? I bet you're confusing Mercury Marine's Corvette LT4 with the Yamaha SHO V6. And no, unfortunately. If you do get one, I have an original K&N intake kit for one.

I get taking care of your valuable possessions but that Ford I posted had 40k km on the clock at auction. I feel bad for mr the investor guy with all the money in the world, or a lot at least. Yet not enough to buy the pleasure of driving that old performance car at performance speeds because he's too scared to lose some cash. All while someone else probably thoughtlessly did the first 40

Minor correction...LT5. Last I looked the ZR1 was fairly obtainable a year ago. Who knows where prices are now. The LT5 is bulletproof. Helluva ride back in its day.

You gonna laugh when you read this, but mid 90's unmolested Civic Si is going to be a million dollar car someday. Even Neon ACR may rock an auction house 50 years into the future.

I meant the Yamaha, they also make boat motors. Never could figure out what their logo was because it makes no sense on an outboard or a motorcycle, then I went to a music store and ohhhhh.

Some stuff (specific castings especially) are capital-E Expensive, but not particularly hard to source. The engine is a tank to begin with, so hard parts breakages are pretty rare outside of racing.

You can buy a donor ZR 1 for under 20k which is less then a P car motor by 15k.
