You tow them both with this and then sell this beast in Kalifornistan for a cool $10K, after you go see Earl Scheib and The Brake Depot.

Well that would be tempting but I'm not sure if anything can be numbers matching and have a crate Hemi. Those things seem solidly mutually exclusive.
Also it seems to be in predominantly in bits and missing the wing.

[JoshInKC]

Yeah, looking at the pictures I thought, "Well, where the hell is the 440?"
Think he doesn't understand either "fully restored" or "numbers matching."

Were 455s available in '88? I worked at an Olds dealer in the summer of '85 and I thought they had 305s or maybe 350s in the Hurst/Olds and 442 models.

I see stuff like this often and think, man, if I needed a car tomorrow, I'd just go buy this and drive it as long as possible. Get some snow tires and an aftermarket stereo with USB capability and it would probably last forever in my garage and/or in the parking garage at work where it's out of the weather.

That Galaxie is pretty cool. The stock interior is kinda clashy with the flat black exterior, though. :lol:

[George]

Yeah, I agree. Interior should be black too, or maybe red.

What's a fellow to do with a seasick green interior and flat black exterior? Why, paint the roof to match, of course!

This guy needs to learn what a hardtop is, however.

"Exterior painted flat black and the top painted "seaside to match the interior."

"This four door is considered a fastback ( it has a more swept back look and does not have the center pillar, so it's open with the front and rear windows down). "

Thanks to Random for that slow ball right over the center of the plate. :lol:

[21Kid]

I think closer to 3-4x. Nobody really liked that generation of Supra - it doesn't have the MkII '80s cred and doesn't have the MkIV FnF cred. A few years ago my friend (who has a hardon for anything Toyota) bought a cherry 50k (IIRC) '89 in white for $3500. Admittedly, 50k is a lot more than 92, but I don't think $62,500 (or $30,000, or $15,000) is the premium people would pay for the extra plastic on this car. I could be wrong... I just don't see a lot of love for the MkIIIs out there.


Not Craigslist, but very interesting. 1990 Toyota Supra with 92 miles on the odometer.

http://www.chtoyota.com/used/1990-toyota-supra-calgary-ab/dcm/brochure5/id3313279?seo#.U89No7H5N8H

They're looking for roughly $65,000 US.

I love the MKIII Supra. It was my first serious car in GTII. :D I took that thing as far as I could into the game and kept taking her out once in awhile until GTIII came out. I've daydreamed about owning or restoring one of those. But, no where near that price. Even if I find a perfect example, they just aren't worth that much.

[thesameguy]

Well, I'd give them a call 'cause I'm betting it's still for sale. Maybe you can lowball them.

[JoshInKC]

RE the 1960 Fury: Again, I'm pretty sure this guy has no idea what "restored" means.

[thesameguy]

Yeah... that person should be shamed by his English.

[George]

He writes better than most CL attemptees.

That's a word, right?

Hell, I'm no judge. I think I'm right but sometimes cringe when I see what I have wrought.

(that's past tense of wrote)



You cannot go anywhere in this car without seeing fingers point since it's so unique. Took it to the DMV today and three different guys stopped to talk to me about it- one of whom was a Navy Seal who did tours in Vietnam. We chatted in the lot for nearly two hours.

Navy SEALs are notorious for accosting strangers in parking lots and telling war stories. Everyone knows that.

[pl8ster]

Does this seem 'too good to be true' cheap? $13,400 seems awfully inexpensive for a 2013 Fit Sport with 13k miles...

This guy has been trying to sell this bike for well over 4 months. First as a 749R (which is sure as hell isn't), and tries to make it sound so perfect when he cut holes in the fairings.




If this thing is still available after my house purchase settles down and all, I'll offer him 3500 to see if he bites.

I've always had a thing for Volvo 122s. Especially a 123GT. Atleast they are still reasonably priced. Unlike one of my other favorite semi-rare cars like the Sunbeam Tiger.

http://images.craigslist.org/00R0R_7FiLzGktJt6_600x450.jpg

[novicius]

That Belvedere price is silly. :down:

It's a Polysphere 318A block (which is much different and older than the hotter LA-series Mopar smallblocks), probably an older stock cable-shifted 727 vs. the newer linkage-type, generic "muscle" rims and an obnoxious fiberglass intake. Probably has a 7.25" rear end vs. an 8.75" Sure Grip, too. We can't see the condition of the interior but it does have a non-original steering wheel (which, to be fair, probably feels worlds better than the skinny bus-driver steering wheel but still). The brightwork does look good, as does the paint and sheetmetal, so that's a plus but the non-stock Sublime paint is all bark and no bite. :lol:

A rebuilt luxobarge/RV 440RB big block & A727 tranny , with a $2500ish splurge spent on a Max Wedge-style Cross Ram intake manifold & carbs setup (http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/bb.html) and buying some "GTX" badges from eBay, would slot nicely here -- but them you'd be into the car for *another* $7k.

"We" include myself, a friend with a 749cc motor from a Ducati, and his father who has a fabrication shop up north that builds hotrods. Been looking for a few months for something small and light to put the motor in, primarily at things like Nashes and Sprites. The Crosley is even more offbeat and probably even lighter than a Sprite.

Lotta win there.

That messed up 911 is not on the win list, though. Sheesh.

That Berkeley is pretty darned awesome - I had no idea it existed. Great idea for a bike engine, but it looks like it needs a lot of work.

[Random]

GRM did a bike-engined Berkeley back in teh day: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/project-cars/1959-berkeley-sports/

It's FWD, which is totally bizarre.

[thesameguy]

Drive wheels were part of our discussion, because we're really not sure what the best way to get power from engine to wheels is.

Also mixed on whether it's "better" to have his dad "help" (as in, do it all) build a frame for it, or try and mount it in an existing car. Lots of questions, we have no idea what we're doing. What could possibly go wrong?

[Random]

The various bike-engined Sevens should provide some thinking material for routing the power.

[thesameguy]

Yeah, we looked at those along with some of the cars out of the UK that use bike engines. Ultimately we think it makes it easier to build the whole thing and then slap existing bodywork on it, but it's far less hilarious than a 1940s minicar with a bike engine stuffed up front. The other aspect of that equation is that both of us will be compelled to try and optimize everything if we have control over everything - whereas if we have existing sheet metal and crap brakes we can just enjoy the ridiculousness of it. :D

[Random]

I was just thinking about the various drive-shaft (and reverse gear!) arrangements, not the whole tube-frame-ness.

I know... I was rambling. :)

I saw a 2-door RAV4 in that color the other day. Forgot they even made those - they were Suzuki X90 weird looking. This particular example had 20" or so wheels on it, which made it look even funnier looking. Personally, I think you should stretch that extra $50 and buy the bug.

[George]

But then I'd have people on internet forums telling me I don't love my family because I drive them around in a car without airbags and tire pressure monitor gauges.

[thesameguy]

But then I'd have people on internet forums telling me I don't love my family because I drive them around in a car without airbags and tire pressure monitor gauges.

You would, but you can always just drive them around in the Pilot. Maybe even stash the bug in the trunk so you can hoon around the mall parking lot while they're shopping for back to school clothes.

I think I'd rather have a Bronco II than an XA10 RAV4, but I'm not sure. The RAV4 is clearly the better drive, gets better fuel economy, is certainly much safer, and might be equally competent off road in stock form. But the Bronco II has a sort of retro charm to it, and a 5-speed V6 sounds like a rarity to me. I'm gonna have to lean Bronco II.

[Random]

Just don't try to drive the Bronco like it's the Traverse you rented.

[thesameguy]

I wonder how far it'd slide on its roof?

[George]

I remember back when all the rollover stuff was going on because my college roommate had just bought a 2WD 5-speed version. The news then was the 4x4s were safer because they had a lower center of gravity. In other words, they're impossible to roll over so why not buy one today?

What I should buy for my next car:

Toyota Corolla Low Miles - $1600 (http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4613845819.html)

"Toyota Corolla runs excellent and has zero problems. 150k miles. 30-40 mpg. I have a stack of maintenance papers.
No body damage no interior damage no problems of any kind. Its not pretty but its bulletproof mechanically. No power options that will give you any issues. Manual transmission 4 doors. 1600 firm."

*does happy dance for lack of options and manual trans*

http://images.craigslist.org/00T0T_f0dBlC9N3iP_600x450.jpg

That's really where my mind is with cars these days.

Appliances.

[Leon]

can't beat a Corolla for appliance duties. My 2002 Corolla has 472,000 km on the clock, and is still utterly brilliant.

[George]

But that Bronco is only $2500!

Since becoming a father, I often think about how old my kids are any given time and what my life was like when I was their age. Being (regretfully) an older Dad, I'm often surprised at how much different my kids' lives are than mine was.

For example, they tell me they don't have chalkboards in school any more. It's all whiteboards, which certainly are cleaner but what about having to bang erasers outside when they misbehave in class?

About now in my childhood, when I was around the age my kids are now, my Dad was buying a '48 Willys CJ2A for $400. I figure that 30-year-old Bronco II is just about perfect for me to follow his lead.

Don't mind me, gents; I'm just deep into my mid-life crisis. :thppt:

[thesameguy]

Things aren't like they used to be, that's for sure.

But not banging erasers together probably helps your kids not get cancer, so that's probably ok. They can go bang keyboards together to get the Dorito shrapnel and paperclips out.

[thesameguy]

Although I am reminded that when I grew up, I spent most of my car time riding around in a 1976 Honda CVCC. My mom has that car from shortly after I was born until 1985, when it was given to my sister and mom got a 1985 Volvo 745T. A few years later she was t-boned by a distracted woman in a minivan, talking on her cell phone, running a red light. If she'd been in that Honda, she'd be dead. I don't think you can ultimately do enough to protect yourself from our increasingly, statistically, distracted society. Those people all wrecked their shitty old Hondas, and now have super-safe modern cars so they can wreak their havoc more confidently. Really sucks for those of us who aren't distracted, and would like to drive a Bronco II.

[GB]

what about the complete opposite end of the spectrum?

http://images.craigslist.org/00D0D_9CE22TWYgIz_600x450.jpg

how bad are these (+10yo German V8) cars second hand?
will the car completely stop running once some electronic non-sense stops working? or will it just run not as well?

been looking to get something to hold me down for 3-4k miles and this would be fun in the snow without being embarrassing to drive (passed up/missed out on a 325i wagon for $2500)
Honda and Toyotas are ridiculously expensive second hand and none of the Nissan and Mazdas I've seen have been take care of (the ones that may have been sell within a day, 5 minutes before i'm scheduled to see the car)

[Leon]

They're a complete nightmare car over here at the moment, along with all the E36 shape BMW's. Self destructing wiring looms being one of the big issues in the Merc.

[balki]

is it so bad that even thinking of having it for a few thousand miles (5k km) and then junking it would be optimistic/risky without doing more than an oil change? (i'm also assuming the oil pan's drain nut, oil filter and filler cap are accessible)

all from the same dealer.
the SE-R has seat tears and a donut spare on, plus different color wheels. doesn't seem bad at all as long as the VQ35DE V6's upkeep isn't much more than the 4-banger's
the 2010 Altima has a kbb value of +$10k with 'normal' mileage but only half that with the "155000 highway miles" this one has.

Sweet car. I can't make up my mind if I like the wheels or not. The wheel and tire size look great but the wheel design is a bit too "American Muscle Car" for me.

I vote for matching blue steelies with chrome beauty rings and dog dish 'caps instead of those mags.

[thesameguy]

Since old Volvos are so grotesquely derivative of old domestics, I feel like the wheels fit a 122 every bit as well as they'd fit a Ford - that is, awesomely! :) You see "old Volvo" and you want to think "European," but all the early Volvos looked way more like (at the time) ten year old Fords than contemporary Audis, Jaguars, or Saabs.

Wow, that F-85 is actually in Galena. What a sh1th0le. It's also literally as far from Denver as you can get while in Kansas.
Wonder what made him post it there.

I like the Nova and Galaxie 500. I'd be all over that Civic, auto or not, because you just don't see them any more.

[thesameguy]

Man, I was getting all excited about that Polara, but the 383 was a bit of a letdown, and then the interior just killed me. Too imperfect for the price.

[KillerB]

That oval Bug is tits... but $18k? It might be worth it but I'd never pay that much for a Beetle.

[thesameguy]

It's taking a lot of willpower to not buy this thing:

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/4671130743.html

http://images.craigslist.org/00202_cQsG2s0UvHw_600x450.jpg

and move over a LOT of stuff my '84.

It's been for sale for like a month - I might just get in touch this weekend and see if he'll take $600 or $700 for it. At that price, it'd be a no-brainer.

Plus, I could grab the TBI injection system for a one day maybe Fleetwood injection swap...

[George]

Yeah, but if it's that good a deal, why has it been for sale for a month?

(just playing devil's advocate)

[thesameguy]

It's not really that it's a good deal, it's a just a specific truck that has a somewhat unusual combination of things I can use - or at least I thought it did. I think I may have imagined its 3/4-ton-ness. If it's a 1/2 ton, it's useless! :)

[George]

Despite the beefy tires, I count six lug nuts per wheel, which means 1/2 ton 4x4, right?

My meager 'murrican truck knowledge:

5 lugs = 1/2 ton 2wd
6 lugs = 1/2 4x4
7 lugs = some weird Ford heavy duty 1/2 tons or the non Super-Duty F250s from a few years back - the older, smaller body style
8 lugs = 3/4 ton & 1 ton, 2wd & 4x4

[JoshInKC]

Yeah, looks like 6 lugs - therefore 1/2 ton.
But adding to george's post, I think there was a way to get the 3/4 ton axles, etc. on 1/2 ton GM trucks, although it was pretty rare. Think it was one of those old "check the boxes for special options a, b, c, e, and g, but whatever you do, don't check box f" type of things.

[thesameguy]

Yeah, it's definitely a half ton - I don't know how I got in my head it was anything but.

IIRC, you could get 8-lug half ton trucks and 6-lug 3/4 ton trucks. I've seen both - and I think the key factor was the rear diff, which you could special order in any direction. 6-lug, 350-powered 3/4 ton trucks are pretty common around here - which makes searching CL hard. :(

FWIW, what I want is an '88-'91 3/4-ton Suburban. I want it's interior and it's non-16.5" wheels for my '84, and I want to scavenge it's TBI system for Future Endeavors. ;) What's left is probably worth $300-$500 in scrap, so forking over $800 or so for this truck would pretty much be a no-brainer. I'd really like to find one with body damage or maybe drivetrain issues so I don't feel bad about taking it apart. I do have concerns if I find a Suburban with a nice interior that needs minor help, I'd be just as inclined to fix it as dismantle it - and I do NOT need two Suburbans.

[speedpimp]

Description says "1500" which means its definitely a 1/2. GMC was 1500(1/2), 2500(3/4), 3500(1T) while Chevy was 10(1/2), 20(3/4), 30(1T). And at one point Chevy adopted GMCs numbering system.

[George]

I didn't see the 1500 in the ad. I tend to read the text from the seller and haven't really noticed the newer data fields in the upper right corner.

In Mexico I have seen obvious half-ton pickups with short beds and the smaller 5-lug wheels of a 1/2 ton, but wearing 3/4 ton badges like F-250 and Ram 2500 and so forth. The first one or two I figured were just guys putting different badges on to look mas macho, but after seeing so many like that I figured Detroit must "upsize" their badges down there: 3/4 ton trucks (or at least badges) for everyone!

[speedpimp]

And don't forget about Chevy adding in HD versions of the 1500 and 2500.

[KillerB]

Considering how much payload a US 1/2 ton can carry, the Mexican badges are probably more accurate.

[pl8ster]

I'm not up on CL scams these days; does this look fishy to anyone else? Consider that there are no Acura dealers in Maine and consequently not nearly as many TSXen on the road here as other places (though I see at least 3-5 per week), so certainly the market for TSX replacement parts is small. The other thing I noticed - other than the pictures looking like they were taken in completely different places - is that the spot on the map is in the center of a residential area. I would love to pick up some OEM pre-'09 TSX wheels for winter tires but this listing smells fishy to me.

http://maine.craigslist.org/pts/4617988864.html

[thesameguy]

Could be legit - there are ads like that all over Sac CL. Usually these people are buying cars at insurance auctions, and they either re-use the auction photos or take them with cell phones on the auction grounds. Often times they post the ads before the car is even in their possession.

[pl8ster]

Hmm. I'd probably be better off getting some narrower 16" steelies, anyway...and to hell with the TPS idiot light.

[novicius]

Bah! The Acura FF is not the car you want to roll steelies on (unless they're OEM steelies with plastic Acura hubcaps). :|

There is no way that's CARB legal, however you don't have the smog new cars for three years, so you've got til 2016 to sort it out. And maybe then, if you're lucky, your lazy smog tech won't open the hood & will just check the OBDII and call it a day. If you're lucky.

I'd love to have either, but owning an early smog-controlled Ford in California sounds like a not great idea. Kinda bummed about that.

[speedpimp]

Anybody interested in a '93 Isuzu with a 383 SBC swap? Here (http://www.autorv.com/browse.aspx?AdName=CLI5075014).

[thesameguy]

If a 383 will fit in there, one will fit in a VehiCROSS.

RAD.

[speedpimp]

Off to share that with a certain Isuzuphile.

You need to look at the vehicross guys. Many of them are swapping LS based engines in them and manual transmissions. The 4wd system they offered is super slick in an almost stand alone package.

It's not TOO terribly surprising. Isuzu offered a GM 2.8L V6 in the Trooper, and the GM 3.1L V6 in the Rodeo, so the chassis were probably already set up to accept GM motor mounts.

Part of me wants to go look at the silver one in Anaheim. It can't possibly go for much money, and if it's smogged there's no real worries. But what the heck would I do with it? I do like the styling, RWD, and the nutso 80s dashboard, though.

[Leon]

Ah, known here as a Piazza.

Also, if I recall correctly under heavy braking for "Wheels" magazine in Australia, they captured it nose diving so hard under heavy braking that the rear wheels had left the ground.

Yeah, but 60V6 and LSx don't even have similar mounts. Although maybe you could use the 60V6->V8 conversion mounts?

If it doesn't, and you, I'll take a turn when you're done with it!

I'm sure I've mentioned it, but back in the '80s my neighbors were successful Isuzu dealers... and I spent a lot of time ogling Impulses. :)

Those two limos hurt my eyes.

The hearse is nice, but as neat as it'd be to have one I can't really think of a single time I'd want to drive one around.

[George]

You use the hearse to find bandmates and go on to become rich and famous.



In search of fresh opportunities, [Neil] Young and ex-Mynah
Birds bassist Bruce Palmer packed most of their
worldly possessions into Young's car (a black hearse!)
and drove from Toronto to Los Angeles. On Sunset
Boulevard in Hollywood, the hearse was spotted in
traffic by [Stephen] Stills and singer/guitarist Richie Furay
(who previously met Young in New York and had come
West a short time earlier.) The four musicians huddled
in a supermarket parking lot and immediately talked of
forming a band. With the addition of drummer Dewey
Martin, the Buffalo Springfield was born.

[thesameguy]

Yeah, that would have been cool a while ago, but the hearse thing is done now. Band-in-a-hearse is kinda cliché.

If anyone's interested in a 1st Gen CRX Si, I can put you in touch with the manager of my local Starbucks. She's interested in selling it to an appreciative owner. Looks to be in good condition and is still driven regularly. No AC, which seems to be the primary reason she's thinking of selling.

[thesameguy]

Awesome 323!

I remember when those things were actually reasonably common in California - if you wanted one, you could have it. I kept almost pulling the trigger but never did for lack of courage. Today I'd not hesitate given one in decent condition. Sadly, most of the AWD system is unobtainium, though, so any somewhat abused 323 is probably going to end up a money pit. :(

[KillerB]

Thankfully, this one looks well cared for and not run too hard. I will watch the price carefully. I'm not likely to pull the trigger (though more likely than I was with that Isuzu) but you never know. I still have the challenge of where to put it. This one-car-garage thing is killing me!

The RX-7... I really want it but I hear these can be a bitch to smog. I'd much rather have one that's been in CA. Unfortunately, then, all the interior bits will be turning to dust. :(

[Leon]

A friend of mine had one of those BFMR 323's. It has been quite tweaked (had $40k worth of receipts from the previous owner).

I held out a V6 Sti coupe over a wiggly mountain road while driving it for the first time.

Had a gearbox made out of gummi bears and hope though.

There is a nice Scorpio for sale - I don't think it's the same one, though.

Won't lie, been thinking about buying it. :D

Paging tsg to the V-12 Jaguar phone:
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/4555781450.html


I think that Jag has been for sale for two years. I am pretty sure it was on the list when I bought the V70 in '12. I've seen it come and go a few times. I can't decipher whether it has problems for sitting for nine years or whether it has problems, sat for nine years, and now has more problems. Either way, three grand seems steep for a non-running XJS - and then there's the sitting issues.

Was looking for something else, found this car is still for sale...

I want to try and check back on it every so often. :D

Those wheels (Subaru?) look appalling.

[Godson]

I want that impulse...

They look like XXR 527's Very popular wheels on the twins :lol:

That's great that the tires were brand new nine years ago; aren't they essentially worthless now?

[thesameguy]

Certainly wouldn't want to drive far on them! I'm also not certain whether they update that number. They may very well have been new nine years two years ago!

[pl8ster]

Ha. Are you seriously considering that car? Balls of steel!

[thesameguy]

I'd consider it for much, much less money. It's worth a little more than they're asking in solid driver condition. No way is it worth anything approximating that price in "broken, sat for nine+ years" condition. I'd love an XJS (V12, hells yeah), but I'm certainly not looking for one.

Props for using something that isn't an SBC swap. Negative props for the execution.

[Alan P]

I'm not even sure what cars it used to be!

[speedpimp]

The cab and front rims are from a '98 Chevy S-10 pick up. Click spoiler for what an unadulterated S10 looks like. The engine is from a fire engine.
