I'm about to fly to Los Angeles and drive a 1995 BMW 318ti back to Iowa. Should be fun.

California top I assume.

I flew out to San Antonio to buy my $1 M3. I got it off an old neighbor that bought a then new 335i. Sight unseen. I didn't even know what color it was when I got there. Drove it back to PA and I've still got it.

Someone posted a mint looking Cherokee on NextDoor, 4.0 manual, stacks of maintenance, new tires. $2,500 and it was naturally gone in about an hour. Just missed it.

My immediate reaction was "this has to be a scam" but GIS never lies.

"no other images found" leads me to believe that its real.
All this thing needs is the roll bar/light bar and bumper and it's straight outta BTTF.

That was my reaction too but nothing in the text of the ad makes me suspicious, just the fact that it’s a clean 87 yota for a really good price. You can tell it does have a MO license plate as well.

Justification: It's worth $3000 easily. If you've got $3k and a place to park it, you could probably flip it pretty easily if you get sick of driving it.

Edit: Note that the ad doesn't say "runs good" or "transmission works in all gears" or "passes emissions" if that's relevant in your state, so there might be a reason it's cheap.

Cruising CL with the hybrid check on, I came across this gem "mated to a 2007 Ford Escape hybrid drivetrain. It is registered as a 59 Jag. The idea is to make an easy, everyday driver." Not really sure how easy it'll be with a seemingly missing front/interior, but... welp, here ya go!

Custom tube chassis and it's still jacked up like a 4x4, and rear wheel not centered in the opening. Hmmm.
Also, since the lengthened the car and chopped the top, it's not going to just need an interior, it's going to need a custom interior. And glass. I mean, I guess it's a hot rod... ish thing, but they king of glossed over that.
Also, it's now FWD, and not a straight-6 or V8. Meh.

Well, I guess that would make it sorta drivable and hide the damage, but yeah, that's not "fixed" at all.

That has to be taking the piss. But I'm worried it's not, because if it were a joke, they would have thrown in "ran when parked."

Edit: the real ones have potato-quality photos of it in one piece in the garage, it only goes all end-of-Blues-Brothers after the buyer hamds over the cash.

Yeah, the crack about the rear glass, being correct about what year and car it is, the fact the picture is decent, and nothing is misspelled points to it being a joke ad.

"Rare" and even "nice" doesn't mean jack if it's a rare nice thing no one wants.

That said, those are pretty neat cars for the time when they're the turbo model, and that one is in remarkable shape.

i think i saw one of these parked in Malle, Belgium too at a garage. Prob last week of July. I have the ‘tism one way or another but i remember only because this Subaru Saab LeBaron (we didn’t know the type) looked so weird and impractical that it automatically made it look cool.

How much for a ford falcon?

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 forgot to check up on this but this old 4dr falcon with nothing that special about it (never officially certified a phase 4 - just built as such if they were to be ever released and complianced) sold for $2mil.
So you could build a 4dr XA for $30k easy as you don't even need the real plates (that don't exist). But why would you when you could buy a XA-XC GT falcon coupe as they were raced and won in Bathurst for about 200k if you needed one.

Makes euro car enthusiasts seem sane. Lots of dumb money in Australia.

T type is just basically appearance right? Not turbo?

In any case that car looks incredible and is well worth it for 3500 bucks. So cool to see a rare, if somewhat lame, car in great shape like that where the owner doesn’t want 30k for it. Would be a totally awesome experience to cruise around in it and sip Crystal Light

Yep, the (RWD) Regals were the only Turbo T's. There were Century and Skyhawk T-Types too.

E: Nope, I'm wrong. The Skyhawk T-Type used the 2.0 Turbo from the Sunbird GT.
