Put the Lambo engine in the passenger compartment of an 80s station wagon. Run air vents through the rear doors.

LOL 40K plus per year is not a nanny driving around Calgary... unless she was driving home to Mexico every few weeks. Best guess - it's a salesmans' (or similar) car and they're paid a KM car allowance and the maintenance is either charged through the company or a write off expense. Looks in good shape and probably maintained better than 99% of other cars on the road. Might be a reasonable buy if it goes cheap enough.

I seem to remember seeing a ton of these on Craigslist in California back in, oh, 2013? I think they were going for $5-10k back then. Between the cost of MB replacement parts and 15 mpg (gas was $4 at the time), I decided against it. I don't really see any on a quick scan of CL right now, and I deleted my Facebook account so I can't check there...

I haven't daydreamed / window shopped in a while so idk how covid has affected things, but that's a good price on a 560 and a kinda steep price on one of the lesser V8s. Assuming very good, but not immaculate condition.

slidebite posted:$5600. Absolutely worth it, i think. If i could have put it together i would have been all over it. We ended up with the Pilot at $17k which i think is a good price for it. would have been about $23k retail. Not one of my usual auction steals but it is a desert for vehicles between $10k and $20k.

Kind of looks like a casting taken off of a Bricklin SV1 that has been glassed into the rest of the front end, though the fake vent is a little wider. I should be shaking down an unusually overpowered car at the moment because we've finally had a break in the weather, but I have the world's most stomach flu so I'm gonna look on facebook marketplace and feel sad inside. The bogan underclass in NZ has heard of the American car prices situation and is now convinced anything RWD is worth 2-3x what it was going for a year ago. Selling: destroyed mx5 with a 1.6 and wheels that dont fit Want: Mint condition plastic wrapped mx5 1.8 prices   Selling: underpowered family car with crash panels and unwarrantable headlight tints, worse-than-factory handling coilovers Want: Like a million fuckin dollars Bonus: Black on polish Wolf (rota-tier) knockoffs of a Work S13P, which are so ubiquitious as to be basically bogan clown car swangas at this point  Selling: broken Want: ten to thirteen thousand dollars more than broken is worth  Selling: maori mustang Want: maori mustang maori mustang maori mustang  quote:maori mustang For perspective's sake for non NZ/Aus people, the Cefiro is a third or fourth tier Nissan car which aims for the same performance envelope as an Iron Duke Camaro, but with somewhat worse driving characteristics. Also I found this, which without a dyno can't be judged as to whether it's a shitbox or a comedy car, but have to respect the principle of taking a rusty british econobox and putting an engine with 5 times the displacement of its original into it. For some reason it's located in Edgecumbe, which is basically a very small detroit and I'm surprised the owner didn't have their wheels stolen between taking photos at different angles.

Hey don't poo poo talk the Ceffy - at least it didn't come with a diesel like the Laurel (one of my school friends had one of those which he was immensely proud of) E. My younger bro has an S14 Silvia that he back yard swapped an SR20DET into like 15 years ago. It's been sitting rusting away on his driveway for at least a decade now but don't worry he's going to get it sorted and back on the road 'any day now' dissss fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Dec 15, 2021 |

I will say that the Laurel does have its place - in being used to donate those diesel engines to VN commodores which will then be green stickered after rolling coal outside a primary school. Also funny - I sold my S14 Silvia to my brother (older brother) after spending a christmas fixing it up, and it's sitting rusting away in HIS driveway waiting for a Barra turbo conversion. Got $6750 for that car which was half of what I should have done but I couldn't justify charging more for an NA 2.0 that my lemons racecar EK4 civic could race away from.

Nicked grandpa's car from the estate sale at the retirement village, wanting 10k, you can tell it hasn't been raped to death with the mismatched rear wheels and the way it's in Whanganui Poverty spec 4 door auto 120hp Skyline for more than it probably retailed for back in 1998  Finally an honest, realistic deal

Maybe not as crazy as it seems, 68 - 72 GM A-body convertible chassis frames are in demand and valuable. If you have something rare like a 442 or gto convertible with a weak frame that could be a good donor car, sell the rear end and body shell to make back some of the cost. If the frame under that thing is any good, that is.
