What about old armored cars? I've never seen one for sale to the general public, which is weird considering how many there are. Is there a law against selling them with all the full plating on them or something?

Shame because I would totally drive an armored bank truck. :cool:

Lots of guys roll around in these.

Take the gun off it and its basically a light truck, except you know, covered in thick rear end loving armor and is completely amphibious. On Englishrussia somebody bought one of these and totally did the interior out like a luxury SUV and painted it real nice and poo poo. Russia also makes an armored truck on a Chevy chassis that in its lowest trim will stop anything up to a rifle round and in its highest can stand up decently against an RPG.

I was driving by this place on the way home when I noticed these on the side of the road.

http://www.westcoasthotrods.com/cars/detail.php?carslist_id=121

Me and my dad pulled over to take a look, he said he thought he saw the back of a Cosmo at this place over a year ago and it looks like the guy had rolled the cars out to the front for whatever reason. When we got close I realized they had been sitting for some time, the white one had flat tires and was covered in tree sap, the blue one's interior had been completely destroyed from the sun and was now ridiculously cracked, its paint had began fading severely all over the hood, and it was starting to rust on the roof and trunk lid some how. Among those the guy had all sorts of cars sitting around, tons of R32 Skylines in various states, an NSX that was parked in the middle of a giant sea of cars rotting away and some oldschool Japanese iron, RX7s of all generations, a 510, a Z32 300ZX or two, all just sitting there serving no purpose, most not for sale.

I went home and emailed the guy, wondering how much he'd want for the Cosmos, figuring that they had been sitting for some time and anybody who knows what the gently caress a Cosmo is, isn't going to waste their money on a rusty beat to poo poo example I figured I might be able to talk the guy down and get one for what the engines worth basically. I got this email back.

they are 3 rortor cars 10 thou each

Well there you have it, 2 20B engine and Cosmo bodies, both getting increasingly rare, rotting away infront of some shitheads shop because hes trying to make retarded profit off of them. Heres the first Cosmo I found for sale in my city for 10,900, notice the complete lack of rust, flat tires, and an interior that isn't destroyed.

:siren: $17,000 :siren: for an SVX. The only way that thing could possibly be worth $17K would be if it was completely original, untouched, <500 miles with the showroom sticker... and even then that's grasping and having a buyer that desperately wants one.


There was one on Craigs in Vancouver a couple months ago (I know, I flew out and drat near bought it) with 74000 KMs (46K miles) that ended up going for $5500.

You can also get a clean import one for dirt cheap, theres no market for them in Japan so you're probably paying 7-1200 dollars just for the car, you can easily get a really clean one in for 4-6 grand.

Ahaha this guy is insane.
