Having spent a fair bit of time in that gen Escort, I'd rather have the hacked-up koog. It looks stupid but the Fox Cougars are not a literal pain in the rear end to drive and the 3.8 is a fair bit more reliable.

I'd drive it. God drat, luxury and rally in the same car? Sign me up.

But seriously, the LS would be a good rally car. Torquey V8, independent rear suspension, and a proven durable body. Sounds awesome. :getin:

Are you sure this is the same one? looks a lot nicer than the last time, and now it's in Tacoma and not Everett. I thought it didnt have an interior last go-round.

Yeah, upon second look it seems like this one is different. The first one had less interior, less/worse paint, and something funky with the door locks, I seem to remember them having the door pulls replaced with random welded together bolts or something.
I hope this is a second one and the trend will catch on and grow from here. Offroad luxury sedans, hell yeah

Early LS400s had cheap capacitors (?) that failed on the gauge's circuit board which could be repaired. He may have moved on to other things now but there was a guy in CA who'd rebuild the board and test it for $250 or so.

So if the no gauges part bothers you that could likely be fixed.

If I didn't already have a turbo project car sitting in my garage I'm pretty sure I would buy this. Mostly just to transfer parts to my red na6 and resell.

Wonder what the rust and dent look like, looks great in photos besides the spoiler and exhaust. I'm guessing they were taken a while ago...

An NA Miata is the only convertible I've ever been in or driven. Which is a good thing, because my eye-line was essentially right at the convertible top latches at the top of the windshield, and my knees were touching the steering wheel on both sides.

In addition to the era-inappropriate seats and shifter, the thing that bothers me most is that the front tires are mounted backwards (the wheels are just on the wrong side). What a simple thing to fix, why would you leave it?
