Someone had posted a hilarious reply about comparing a used car to old shoes and giving them to a hobo, but it seems to have been deleted :(

I don't know anything about Supras, but the car in this ad is not a typical DD Supra. I'm not saying the price is right (I have no idea), but it's definitely not a garden variety Supra if it really has 1082rwhp as claimed in the ad.

Not by a long shot, but the reply that apparently got deleted was loving great.

can someone explain what's going on with those three shift levers there?

if this gets deleted, it's an 84 hurst/olds.

Here's a picture of the Lightning Rods shifters (along with my Kenwood CD player and EQ), and a little clip from the H/O brochure that came with the car detailing the upshift procedure. Downshifting is the same, but backwards. To shift from D to OD (or vice-versa) you have to push the button in. To shift from OD to N the button must be out. From N to R and P the button must be in. This prevents you from going forwards past OD into neutral when manually shifting into fourth. It also works like a normal automatic, I can leave it in OD (or D) and it'll shift like any other car (just a bit firmer, the code OZ tranny on these cars does that).

It's a shifter made for drag racing, basically.

Apparently appraisal value = (Money spent on mods x Visual Horsepower) + 28,500

I've seen some crazy poo poo, but 18k would buy me a pristine E30 m3. I responded for a full list of mods because I can't even fathom how it would be "appraised" at 30,000 dollars. Of special note is the automatic most likely mated to a bone stock m20 with a whopping 200 dollar dinan chip, which isn't even the best e30 chip.

I think that's a bit high for the TR-6, not sure about the other one. One interesting thing is that while helping restore my dad's 1952 MG TD, we found out that the company kept no records of the color that they put on a particular car. There are correct colors for the years, but no individual records. He's going to repaint from an almost aggie maroon (almost certainly not the original color) to BRG with tan leather and burlwood dash. Once he paints the thing I'll get a project thread done.

Apparently the reason for the rediculous hood scoop is that it's a CJ3A with the later motor from a CJ3B swapped in, requiring some clearance. We're trying to figure out what to do about it at this point.

Suicide doors are so-called because they can fly open while moving (and throw you out? I guess?) because they're hinged backwards. Wouldn't that make a regular hood a suicide hood?


Seems like every 350 is from a Corvette. There must be way more Corvettes missing motors than I thought.

I've been watching it for awhile and I'm pretty sure he had an ad up at one point that said the motor was from a suburban.

Considering you can now bring in a '90 (which is when the keis got their final displacement bump to 660cc) it's maybe not the best purchase, but I've got a soft spot for kei trucks/vans.

In other news, been trying to get some decent photos out of the owner of this beauty.



The vinyl top was removed and sanded/primered, but the rest looks amazing with the original wheels and even the factory stereo still in it.

I like how he changed the shift pattern on the console to match the six-speed. I'd probably pay that much, if the condition is actually that good, would be a fun car with the T56. Too bad about the lack of t-tops, though...


I don't think the IROCs were t-top cars. They gave up a lot of body flex for those things.
