I've been looking for a 4WD kei jidosha truck for my parent's ranch, and mostly look at Daihatsus (guess why). Most of the ads are resellers and are pretty normal, but this one is funny because what would you do with an R1 powered Hijet?

It's so clean! Everything is so proportional and just looks right.

This is amazing.

Turismo is a carbureted K car, its a total ancient shitpile and will be slower and less economical than you can imagine. Toyota has no interior but is cool and way too expensive. The LeSabre is at least double its worth for a slow old shitpile, the carb turbos made about 180hp and the non-intercooled EFIs made barely more. Th Corvette sucks and has a lovely drivetrain. I bet that Landcruiser is totally rusted out, but if it was in California or somewhere not rust-prone, that would be the one.

If I'm going to make a terrible financial decision, I would definitely travel to CA or AZ over buying here. I'm just indulging myself with whats available locally and ultra-odd.

To mein Aussie eyes that looks like a Monaro and a Falcon Coupe(GT) had a baby. Especially the colour / paint. I was genuinely confused for a minute. The U.S. is like a parallel dimension.

Everything about that looks like a bad idea, converted to an automatic, rust, damage, missing trim parts. Wrong engine....

And yet, I cannot help but feel like I should buy it because this is as close as I will ever get to having one. SO CHEAP.

The 2003 9³ might as well have been British. Brand new everything mid-year for the SS platform, strange/broken electricals, and more gremlins per car than AMC ever produced.

This one is also pretty drat expensive.

He sold the manifold? (Intake or exhaust?) Why? You'd think whoever bought it would kind of need it. I think this might diminish the value of this as a package.

They are 4 lug so no firebird.

This car is likely based of a Beetle and I have seen those wheels on nearly every 70s bug based kit car.

Isn't the steering geometry going to be all wrong for ape hangers? As in, that bike will be murderous and the tiniest steering input will result in the bike catapulting you into whatever's available?
