You have a chubby don't you?

[thesameguy]

Ahh, the good ol' days.

This is how I bought my first car, but no car since. It was amazing how much stuff changed between '94 and '97! Screw '94.

[George]

It was amazing how much stuff changed between '94 and '97!

Yep. AOL quit mailing out 3.5" discs and started mailing CDs instead. :up:

I confess the last time I was looking for work, in 2012, after six years at the same job, I picked up the Sunday paper and asked my wife where the wanted ads were. Turned out they were in my hand, but only about three pages long. The classifieds used to be the fattest part of the Sunday paper, not counting the ads and coupons.

[thesameguy]

I don't even remember the last time I handled a newspaper... which, thinking about it, is a little crazy! Probably a random event at my parents' house on a weekend at some point. The last time I actually I sought out and used one is definitely in the '90s. Maybe '98 or '99, looking for a place to rent before those classifieds moved totally online too.

'99 Dodge Ramcharger (http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5319416317.html) I bet they got it registered as a Ram.
http://images.craigslist.org/00r0r_8sf61NiBVhN_600x450.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/00L0L_bhDjCxooq6A_600x450.jpg

[thesameguy]

Man, that's weird. Like a Caravan mated with a Ram.

[JoshInKC]

They actually looked pretty decent in person - ca. 2000, one of those - wearing manufacturer plates, showed up at the Oreilly I was working at for a bottle of washer fluid.

[pl8ster]

No idea how you could get that registered in CA. My guess is that those plates are not actually registered to that vehicle.

[Random]

EPA certified engine, probably--that's really what CA mostly cares about.

Could also just be that the local DMV was clueless. :D

[thesameguy]

If Dodge didn't create a specific "Powerwagon" VIN California wouldn't know or care. That was how my friend got his 164Q4 registered in California for two years... there wasn't a VIN sequence for AWD. It was only when he showed up to get smogged and the car wasn't flagged as "idle test only" (like an Audi or Subaru would be) he got hosed. :)

[George]

I saw a white one around here a couple/few years back, and I think it was speedpimp who helped me ID it after the fact, from my description of a "mystery SUV", that I only saw from the side - so no obvious Dodge grille or what look like Caravan taillights in that ad.

I don't get all the fuss about where a car was manufactured or intended to be sold and operated. It either passes safety and smog inspections, or it doesn't. But then again, I'm a wacko libertarian, so don't listen to me.

But really, how is that Ramcharger any different than these two? If one is legal, why not the other?

(rhetorical question - not really requesting an explanation)

http://momentcar.com/images/dodge-ramcharger-1993-9.jpg

http://onlytruecars.com/data_images/gallery/02/dodge-power-ram-250-4x4/dodge-power-ram-250-4x4-06.jpg

[thesameguy]

That's basically how it works, but how's the guy on the corner shop going to evaluate the safety of a vehicle and what its fuel consumption is? Vehicles meet standards, they are given approvals, and then the guy at the corner shop is absolved of that responsibility. A car from Mexico *probably* won't have those approvals - indicated by labels in various places - thus they are not legal. This particular Powerwagon clearly must, or it wouldn't have been allowed to be registered in California.

[George]

Well, when I said safety, I wasn't thinking of crumple zones or Ralph Nader stuff, but just thinking about how they did it in North Carolina. The smog testing shop also checked brakes, horn, lights, turn signals, tire tread, windshield, etc. And if your car, like my first two, were too old to have smog stuff, they still checked all the other things, gave you a different color windshield sticker, and they charged less for the inspection.

Here they don't do any of that, as long as the car passes the sniffer test. No windshield stickers. Bald tires, no horn, busted-out brake lights, muffler dragging the ground, rust holes everywhere, no mirrors, and a cracked windshield? No problem! :D

Edited to add - they even checked headlight alignment in NC, and as I recall, charged a fortune to adjust it, even on older cars with exposed screw heads on the bottom and side for easy adjustment. I never had that problem, but it would come up in conversation. I'm thinking of a friend with a lifted 4x4 truck that had headaches getting his aligned by aiming them against his carport wall, and the guys at the inspection shop wanted [insert ludicrous amount here] to adjust them for him.

[George]

Slim pickings on the Denver CL today. I guess people don't buy cars as often this time of year, so people hold their ads until spring. Maybe.

Here's a real jem:

bitchin 1987 ford cargo van - $5000 (http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5326439002.html)

http://images.craigslist.org/00v0v_9CAvpIaBU4s_600x450.jpg

The styling of this car reminds me of the Fiat (I assume) that Michael Corleone's wife drove in Sicily in "The Godfather".

[pl8ster]

The problem isn't even so much CA as it is the 25-year-old importation requirement (although I thought CA was super uptight about all automotive regulations). If it wasn't available new in the US, it can't be imported until it's 25 years old, unless you want to go the 'show and display' route, and I want to say they did away with that clause anyway, but I'm getting old and I forget things.

So basically even if you can somehow get it registered, you run the risk of having it taken away and crushed if some Fed with a bug up his ass finds out about it anytime from now until the anniversary of it's manufacture date in the year 2024. Which seems unlikely, until you consider the possibility of some dickhole who knows enough about cars to recognize this thing and decides to report it. "Hey, if I can't import any car I want, this guy shouldn't be able to either."

[thesameguy]

I have always wondered if you could do anything useful with a Mustang II. I mean the single largest complaint one could level at the originals is crap engines, but that is easily fixable in 2015. The front suspension isn't *that* bad, and I sure believe TCI etc. has got to have something helpful for the back end. Aside from retrospective disappointment, what was really wrong with the MII vs. contemporaries like the Capri, Monza, and even the Z? Maybe just build quality?

[George]

That really pisses me off. They're just cars. It's not were talking about a collection of lions and tigers let out the back door every morning to run free until bedtime, or a guy who wants to register a Sherman tank with a flamethrower on the front for urban commuting.

If you can legally drive a sandrail, or a Bucket T with no seatbelts and a humongous dragster engine, why not a 1999 Ramcharger?

(again, I'm not expecting answers - just yelling at clouds again)

Considering Mustang II suspension components have found their way under all sorts of hot rods and kit cars, it can't be all that bad. I'm guessing the thin sheet metal and gas tank placement issues that plagued the Pinto is probably their top issues.

[pl8ster]

That Aspen might not be so bad if not for its Pep Boys rims.

And re: the Mustang II, I think it just looked too much like the Pinto for people to take it seriously. Didn't Cheryl Ladd drive one in Charlie's Angels?

[speedpimp]

Kind of on a same wavelength as the Ramcharger. Earlier this year I was in Lansing, Michigan and saw a Pontiac G5 sedan wearing Michigan plates and a decal from a Lansing used car dealer. G5's were only sold as hatches in the US, but were available as a sedan in Canada. Guess the only way it was sold/plated in Michigan is because of the make/model and no attention was paid to the body style not having been sold here.

http://images.craigslist.org/00707_iv13PsYEAqK_600x450.jpg

A clean, low mileage, white MX72 Cressida wagon. Sadly it has the red interior and not the blue. I don't think I could handle the red.

[Phil_SS]

Beggars can't be choosers?

Switch out the interior with a junk yard car?

[George]

Throw some Indian blankets over the seats?

That wagon is awesome, and right in my price range, too! :(

[KillerB]

I'm super tempted myself. You should get it!

[pl8ster]

:lol: at the thought of finding a car from 1985 in a junkyard around here.

But that wagon is awesome! I was thinking the red interior was going to be on the 'bordello' side but it looks like a much more restrained red. You could totally rock that.

[thesameguy]

I'm super tempted myself. You should get it!

I *really* don't want a red interior on anything that isn't from the '60s or earlier. And did you do quick inventory on how much red plastic there is in that car? It's not like it's "red upholstery" or "red accents," the whole interior is red. Even assuming you could find another complete interior, it'd take weeks to swap it all. I've done that job before on other cars and it's awful - replacing unobtanium trim clips and curing rattles from pieces that have been stirred from decades-long slumber. I'd really, really rather not.

But I would, had I not just bought the F150. Which was a necessity. Ish. I just wouldn't put the hurt on myself with another car right now unless it was the *exact right* another car.

[George]

Hey guys, don't tell TSG about this one, whatever you do!

1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown 4 door 80K miles - $6900 (https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5294119485.html)

[thesameguy]

WHY ARE THOSE PICTURES SO AWFUL!?

[speedpimp]

Those are some really old ass pics judging by the school buses in the background of the one. And like WhoreHay said, digital pics of 35mm pics, surprised they didn't do digital pics of 35mm pics of Polaroids.

[Phil_SS]

The one picture of the interior is actually taken with a new camera and it shows the car is in a garage. I'm guessing it has been sitting for awhile and isn't starting. Thus they can't move it out to get some pictures of its current state.

[thesameguy]

Hmmm... good call!

Earlier when I was humorously ranting about the principle of not being able to register a 1999 Ramcharger even if it met emissions and all the lights worked, it had good tires, etc., I was thinking of something like this as the example of, "then why is this legal?!"

Check it out: wooden body, and that wood is probably old and very dry, so this rig probably weighs next to nothing - which it would anyway, a presumably powerful V8, no windshield wipers, and it has a slippery-looking vinyl bench seat with no visible seat belts. Better wear your protective cup if you'll be driving this one, boys, as a sudden stop could be painful, due to that rack-o-matic steering column! :twitch:

This is when I miss having an iPad handy to zoom in on the image. More pics in ad, but none much better than these.

I don't claim to know for sure, and I did no research at all, but here's my guess:

Mid '60s Ford pickup truck hubcaps...edited to add upon another glance, but still without googling...or 1960s flat-front Econoline van hubcaps.

http://images.craigslist.org/00h0h_15rS7LOs88K_600x450.jpg

[thesameguy]

How weird... I saw not one but *three* Karmann Ghias during 40 minutes on the road this afternoon. Two crossed going opposite ways in an intersection and I was like "WHA!" and then I saw a third about 20 minutes later in a totally different part of town. Must be Ghia day in Sac or something.

[JoshInKC]

That Marlin is as sexy as they get, Karmann as well.
Again, the fact that I'm old makes me boggle at the prices. In my mind, the nicest Marlin in the world goes for maybe $10k, and that'd be after months of looking for a buyer. Also (in my mind), really super-nice Karmann Ghias start at about $3k.

Basically, I'm wildly out of touch.

Yeah, but it's that nervous sweaty you get that nobody wants to be around because everybody knows it was a shart, not a panty-dropping I just worked out sweat.

[George]

To quote an old friend who drove a hand-me-down Oldsmobile with a 305, many years ago, about pressing down harder on the gas pedal: "It doesn't go faster, but it does get louder."

Yes, this is your father's Oldsmobile.

[21Kid]

:lol: TSG

I do find it funny that there are serious rebuild kits to "cure" the 305's various issues when in reality if you have to rebuild a 305, throw a 350 in instead.

M3 sedans are always good. The cool kids call that car an M3/4/5. ;)

Nice color combo, and, yeah, the original owner seems to have checked all the boxes. Doesn't have the sport seats ("Vaders") and the 16" lux package wheels and lux package steering wheel (same as the 328's) are lame, but other than that, looks sweet.

It would be a real unicorn if the original owner had ordered it without a sunroof. :D

[JoshInKC]

Note that the Eagle can be purchased with optional studded snow tires.
Which seems like the most fun blizzard-mobile ever. Put a big light bar on the top and go everywhere at full throttle to freak out the soccer moms in suvs.

Factory sold in the USA...probably. As cool as that car sounds, not having a radio is a big no-no for me. Not having one would get old real damn fast. Unless I had enough money to take it rallying and use it for it's intended purpose.

The best EVO ever imo, is the VI. Though I think the IV is the best looking.

What is the "Elite Auto Salon" that Wagovan wrap references? Also, looks really hard to steer.

[thesameguy]

I think EAS refers to a company in Colorado Springs. I wouldn't drive that car in the area, but Elite Auto Salon has a certain ring to it and I'd drive it other places, where it wasn't a rolling advertisement. :lol:

When I was a born, my dad had a Porsche and my mom had a Celica. When my sister was born, dad got a BMW and mom got a CVCC. I don't know how that arrangement worked, but whatever. That '76 CVCC was in the family until '85 when mom got a Volvo. It was *mint* in and out. Really fond memories of that car - especially those few times my much-older niece drove it - poorly. The HORIF maneuver (Handbrake On, Reverse Instead of First) was her specialty and I *swear* those cars were almost capable of a full on backwards wheelie. :lol:

That Suburban-cum-Avalanche is the perfect vehicle to drive if you want people to stay out of your way on the highway. All it needs is a black brushguard to finish it off.

That is feckin' sweet! Never knew they made one(any)?!? I imagine it's a one off custom coach works build of some sort, eh?


This unique Aston Martin Shooting Brake was designed and built by the renowned Swiss Aston Martin Heritage Specialist Roos Engineering Ltd., with the official sanction of Aston Martin. The car was built between 1996 and 1999 upon a customers request, based on a third series 1987 Aston Martin Lagonda.

Crazy that ten years later someone was like, "Make mine a wagon!"

Whoah. I don't have quite the affinity for wagons that some here do, but that is one awesome wagon. My sister's bf has a Lagonda - I will have to send them this link!

My Accord is running fine with over 220,000 miles now, but I can't stop staring that this one and thinking it would be like a miniature version of my wife's Pilot in the same color. I'm thinking both my kids' bikes would fit in the back for trips to the BMX track, and I'm guessing if I folded down the back seat, my bike would fit in there too, to avoid the dreaded trunk-mounted bike rack I use now. That thing works, but it's a huge pain to install and remove, and it scratches the paint more and more every time I use it.

No, I'm not going to buy this one, but I am going to keep an eye out for these when it's time to replace my current Accord. I would be neat to find a low mileage example that has been quietly traveling through time in some elderly person's garage.

I know I'm excited about this concept, if not this exact automobile, if I'm looking at it again on a Saturday. Normally I only surf CL at work. :assclown:

Edited to add: yes, I realize a car for sale that still has the temporary tag/plate in the back window is immediately suspect, despite the sellers explanation that it's not big enough for two people to go camping in.

[thesameguy]

As an ex-owner of a '94 Accord EX wagon, that car is plenty big for two people to take camping. Plenty. I liked my '94 a lot - had it not been gold I would have kept it much, much longer.

[George]

Well, that's certainly good to hear. Thanks, TSG. Car-camping isn't on my to-do list, but he seller in that ad mentioned it.

I did some googling about these yesterday and most of the negatives I read about was rust, and specifically rust caused by water leaking down under the hatchback/tailgate and into the rear lights and then down into wherever water travels. I also read about an automatic transmission computer (huh?) that goes bad with age, considering these are 20-year-old cars, and that manuals are preferable for that reason. Okay, no argument there, and my current Accord is already rusting (very slightly, but noticeably) around the rear wheels so I'm not yet scared away from these wagons - quite the contrary.

yet another case of knowing fuck all of how to take simple pics for an ad.

:lol:

http://images.craigslist.org/00I0I_8hYvDjIdmF6_600x450.jpg

[thesameguy]

Pretty sure one of those radios is actually the HVAC. ;)

[George]

I thought of that, and that's believable, but push buttons instead of sliders? And what looks like a used-to-be-red sliding frequency indicator on both? Or maybe that's a hot to cold indicator.

I don't remember seeing those before in a '60s car, including in my high school friend's '66 Fairlane, which I would think would have similar controls to a '66 Lincoln, but, I certainly don't claim to be an expert.

Google says you are correct. Here's a better picture after googling 1966 Lincoln Continental dashboard:

http://valenticlassics.com/valenti/images_uploaded/vehicle/740_70/183_740_1353.jpg

I see it has a trip odometer as well. Pretty cool for 1966.

And now it's time for someone to say those first came out in 1927 or something like that. :)

I don't know for sure, but my guess is the little stubby lever sticking straight out above the radio tuning knob and under the shifter controls the passenger side mirror.

[speedpimp]

That's an odd design for the HVAC. I know that at least a few early 70's Fords had the radio to the left of the driver, instead of the center of the dash.

[George]

And the ignition key on the left side, too. I once drove a late '60s Ford pickup with a manual choke knob over there as well.

[thesameguy]

Ford was going for a high-design interior, hence the HVAC/radio symmetry on the dash. Check out the previous iteration:

http://www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Lincoln-Continental-1962-dash-07.jpg

The left-hand ignition was common to all Fords through the late '60s. Since steering column locks were not mandated until the '70s (IIRC) ignition switch placement was a lot more variable. The Falcon's is on the left too.

[George]

That's a cool interior, but I notice one thing that seems odd and unrealistic. Anyone else see it?

[thesameguy]

A woman in the front seat?

[George]

Nope, something isn't right with the car.

And, it's not the huge ashtray that dominates the center of the dashboard.

You just don't see those much these days...well, I don't. I know you do in at least a couple of your cars. Probably the XR4Ti and Fiero, also.

How many ashtrays are in the F eetwoo ? A whole bunch, I'm guessing. I'm reminded of riding in cars as a kid and opening the ashtrays on the armrests in the back seat doors and seeing old cigarette butts and ashes. I'm glad my kids will grow up without seeing and smelling that. Sometimes there would be one mounted on the back of the front bench seat for the rear seat passengers to share. That's why I'm thinking there could be quite a few in the limo.

Edited one last time to add: I now see TWO things wrong with that picture. I missed one earlier.

[pl8ster]

Looks like it's in 'Drive' based on the angle of the column shifter. And the parking brake looks like its off, so it's either moving or it's resting against something. And is it just me, or does the hood ornament look like it's shoebox-sized?

Re: the Accord wagon, it's probably a little smaller than my TSX wagon, but I can fit my road bike in the TSX pretty easily without removing the front wheel. I used to be able to fit a road bike in my '03 Accord, though I had to remove the front wheel. I much preferred that to the trunk-mount bike rack (I hate those too) and I prohibit myself from having a roof-mounted bike rack because I'm pretty sure I'd drive it into the garage. Know thyself.

[Phil_SS]

The speedometer needle indicates the car is going approximately 40 MPH.

[George]

Yep, it looks to me as if it's in Drive, with the parking brake off, and it's going 40 MPH.

I won't consider a roof rack for the same reasons. I know I'd forget the bike was up there and try to drive into the garage.

[thesameguy]

Reply to novicius: You're right. I hadn't considered that. Image deleted.

[novicius]

Oh! Sorry George, I wasn't trying to make you delete it, I was just commenting on the vicious hit.

[George]

No, I felt bad about posting it after realizing what I was really seeing. I saw that some time ago at another forum that has a "Funny GIFs" thread and remembered it when I imagined trying to drive my car into the garage with a bicycle on a roof rack as pl8ster mentioned.

Scrolling through pages of funny GIFs in that thread, I never stopped to realize just how horrific that accident was, and I didn't feel right leaving it here once I did. I was trying to be funny, as usual, but that just wasn't anything to laugh at, and I'm glad you mentioned it.

[pl8ster]

Actually, it looked to me like the very corner of the trailer hit the overhang, so it's entirely possible that the overhang sheared off the very left portion of the truck and that the occupants were at least spared the weight of the overhang coming down, if not fairly serious injury.

[thesameguy]

There is a guy (I assume ;) ) not that far from the house that has three Novas like that in his driveway. Well, not quite like that - they look pretty used. But he does seem to like those Novas! Down the street is a house that has a Fiero parked out front - I think I've seen it being driven around because there just aren't that many Fieros around here. Down the street from that, is a house with an A100 van parked out front that I don't think has moved since the '90s. I remember it from when I had some clients in the area; the reason why it's so memorable is that one of the rear door windows has been replaced with a plexi "box" that extends beyond the rear of the van. I've always suspected the owner used to carry carpet or something in it - I can't figure out the reason for the box. I keep meaning to snap a picture, but the opportunity has never presented itself.

The area I live in is primarily OG Sac suburb residents... people who moved here during Sacramento's big expansion post WWII, so there are lots of people who maxed out in the '80s. :lol: It's a weird intersection of high property values and retirees with no reason to move. It yields a lot of '80s everyman cars in remarkably good shape. I enjoy it - but I'm sure all the new working rich residents with their Gs and 3s are less pleased. :)

[thesameguy]

Ha! Google Street View to the rescue:

https://goo.gl/maps/6d7FzQQSaZT2

What's the box for?

[speedpimp]

Doubt it's for carpet considering that it is inline with the back of the driver's head. It is interesting though.

[thesameguy]

I was thinking an angle - from the passenger footwell diagonal and up out the rear window - the longest possible distance. It is, however, probably too small for a roll of carpet. Maybe a plumber?

[speedpimp]

Maybe. My uncle started laying carpet in the late '60's and for as long as I can remember he always used Dodge vans.

Wow, $9500 seems like a deal on a 500E.

Nevermind:


*Car was hit in the rear and professionally repaired with factory MB Standox paint - no mismatch as can be seen in the pictures (Pictures were taken recently for original ad.) NOT salvaged

Doesn't matter how good the repair is, that would definitely be a detractor from its value.

I love these cars, but I don't think I could ever actually own one. In 2015 it's just special, not really a good performer. A 10-year newer E500 is cheaper and better. I just can never get myself to spend money on museum pieces.

And one for me - a STRONG contender in the "if I needed a car today" category:

2002 Honda Accord - Low Miles.. Stunning! Cream Puff!! - $4000 (https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/5431524492.html)

"Automatic, Second Owner, Clean title, Just turned 130K miles, averages 30mpg. This car is in excellent condition with very low mileage. Non Smoking vehicle.This Honda is almost flawless in & out. We have receipts for all Honda recommended maintenance and warranty service work done since we purchased it in 2005. I'm confident you will not drive a better $4000 car."

http://images.craigslist.org/00404_7zfxVERCW0Y_600x450.jpg

[CudaMan]

Since when is 130k in 14 years "very low" mileage?

[speedpimp]

Lower than average miles then?

As for the plow truck, surprised it wasn't included with the property.

[thesameguy]

How anyone can have a '79 Oldsmobile anything that they want six grand for and think one picture is sufficient is beyond me. You gotta work for every dollar over $1000 on a '79 Olds.

[George]

Since when is 130k in 14 years "very low" mileage?

You're probably directing that remark toward the seller and not to me, but that car would work for me and my would-rather-pay-cash budget because it only has 130K on it. I bought my current Accord with 138K on it and now it has over 220K and has cost me practically nothing to own.

If it is truly "almost flawless in & out", I would be pretty confident that car would be pretty safe buy, and a smarter financial move than buying something for $10 or $15K.

[CudaMan]

My question was directed to the seller. I wouldn't balk at a well maintained 130k-mile Accord either. Heck, most of my cars have had 120k or more on them when I bought them, so I play that game too. :) Just never had one called "low mileage" when it clearly wasn't.

[pl8ster]

So that Skyline is in SoCal, on Denver CL, wearing very recent Alaska plates. Okay.

And that Bel Camino - am I the only one who likes the 'before' picture better? Though it looks to have been well done, using the back of a Chevy pickup cab (?). And bonus points for pulling an RX-3 drag car with it.

That Firenza - those rims are ghastly. And in this day and age, if you can't manage to take more than one picture when selling a car online, you don't deserve to sell it.

And the plow truck - it does seem like it should just go with the property. Coolest $2500 plow truck I've ever seen, btw.

[George]

Bel Camino

Whoa - that's the PERFECT name, of course! Why didn't the seller think of that? That would even be worth having custom badges made that looked period correct. I'm sure many folks would be fooled into thinking that was a vehicle you could buy, back then.


am I the only one who likes the 'before' picture better?

I wonder if the guy destroyed the value by cutting off the roof, or if he increased the value by creating a one-of-a-kind vehicle.

I'm thinking a restored stock wagon would be worth more than a full custom job, but I don't claim to know either way.

Speaking of plow trucks, I got to drive one the last two weekends. I had never driven a truck with a plow on it before, and it was the first time I've driven a manual transmission vehicle in YEARS. No problems there, I'm pleased to report. It was a first-generation Cummins diesel Dodge - maybe early '90s - with dual rear wheels and a stakebed and a big ol' Western brand plow up front - the kind that folds back in the middle when you're not plowing. At one point, I had to follow another 4x4 through a large muddy field with all six tires spinning at times in the deep soup and throwing mud all over the place. That was the most fun I've had in a long time. :up:

I didn't know folks cared about Caddy limos newer than the early '70s or so...but maybe that's just my preference. I see 6-door limos on the Denver CL fairly regularly and will post any that look worthy of serious interest or humorous commentary.

Heck, maybe I should ditch my poor man's Accord and pick one up as a daily driver for myself. I could toss the whole family's bicycles in the back, and I'm sure my kids would gain quite the reputation at school when Daddy dropped them off in something like this:

Here's one from my Photobucket archives. I'm taking my little sweetie to a father/daughter dance at her school tonight, and I sure wish I had a spare limo in the garage for the occasion. This picture is a few years old and you can be quite sure she looks much different today than she did on this fun day in Parker, Colorado. As the F eetwoo has a new hood and roof, so does she have a full head of long hair now. :up:

Wow. Beautiful car...and it's not often one can say that about any car from 1976.

[thesameguy]

KB, you better be on the way to Arcadia right this second.

[Random]

Potential buzzkill: 76 requires smog...was there any factory smog equipment on the RX-5s or was the thermal reactor on the RX-7 the first year of smog stuff?

[KillerB]

Russ's point about it being a 76, combined with having nowhere to park it, and the fact that I'm getting married in a few months are all reasons I'm not going to Arcadia tonight.

Info is hard to come by, but I believe these had thermal reactors.

Fun fact - Arcadia is where I bought my B2600i, too.

EDIT: For all our edification, I asked the seller about getting it smogged in CA.

[Random]

:D :up:

[KillerB]

Hi joe,

The last time I checked, there was no problem getting it smogged. It's currently on non op now, but that's because of some minor exhaust leaks. After next year you won't need to worry about having it smogged again because if it's age.

I don't know about a thermo reactor m, but it does have a rotary engine (which makes it unique, and rare).

It's a great car and runs good. With a little tlc, this car will turn heads (as it does now)

Your more than welcome to come check it out for yourself. Just give me a time frame.

Non-op due to exhaust leaks... LOL. The guy seems nice enough but he's either uninformed or lying. Neither helps.

Not gonna lie, if this was a 1975, I'd be driving up after work tomorrow. But I don't need a car I potentially can't register.

[thesameguy]

I could see a rotary not getting a second glance while being slightly off - I'll bet that documentation in the modern, electronic format is pretty lacking for an old 13B, and if everything looks about right it probably wouldn't get a much attention. I've definitely benefitted from that in the past with the XR! The thermal reactor is definitely a potential sore spot, but I also would be surprised if nobody looked. Tell the guy you'll buy it if it comes with a smog... then you have two years before you have to worry again. ;)

After next year, would it still needed to be smogged?

[Random]

Yes.

There's this group of people that is apparently still convinced that there's a rolling smog exemption in CA. :|



Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:


Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older
Diesel powered 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs
Electric
Natural gas powered with a GVWR rating of more than 14,000 lbs.
Motorcycle

[thesameguy]

Yeah - the rolling exemption was killed a decade ago. It's '75 or older forever. Dude is smoking crack. Or lying.

[KillerB]

Yeah, sad to say it, but this looks like he brought it into CA (those aren't period CA plates), and then couldn't get it smogged.

Once my fiancée and I are all settled, I'll start looking in earnest. Really I'm leaning toward another FC (87-88 Turbo II or 88 GTU) or an FD. I'm planning on going to SevenStock this year, so I'll be looking then.

[Phil_SS]

That Cosmo is beautiful. Seems like a decent set of reupholstered seats away from being set.

Reminds me of the one that runs around Pittsburgh and is Auto-X from time to time. Although it was dark shit brown metallic.

[KillerB]

I've seen that one. It's painted Mineral Gray, which was a Mustang color in the early 2000s, which is when that example was fixed up.

It's actually the only one of these I've ever seen in person.

I still haven't found the required eye bleach for unseeing GB's post.
