Our kids grew up together and we have each been to the kid's weddings(long way to travel for both families).
Husband got a job where he can live where he wants and does a lot of travelling.
Last night some of the other women that are friends with her came over a get together.
One of them mentioned she and her husband are heading to NC to pick up a Porsche they are buying from someone they know there.
My friend, the guy buying the car, already has a last year air cooled and is probably going to sell it.
Beautiful condition and about 22k miles on it.
I have no idea where the market is on those.
Having driven it a few times, I would love to have it.
He didn't say anything about it when we delivering a snow blower I helped him sell last week, so I'm thinking he wants top dollar for it.
I’m in!

And it must be cheap car week on BaT. They currently have a plain Jane B210, and a VW Fox running. Not the usually stuff.

Why don't you buy a 996? In most respects, it's a better car, and even with a new IMS upgrade and a full service, you get a Porsche for 1/3rd the price of a 993.
It sold for 65K, which is more than I'm willing to pay.
Black interior?

We are friends and I don't want to complicate things.
It does have a black interior and it's spotless.

Not sure if it an 'S', drove it in the fall. but I don't remember.
In retrospect, it probably wasn't any worse than the back seat of a Nova or Granada, so they were about what you'd expect for a compact. And, up front they felt a bit more midsized to me. Not in shoulder room so much, but with seats that were a bit thicker, better legroom, etc. I guess it's just that the sedans and wagons were actually pretty space-efficient, for their time at least, that the coupes seemed a bit of a letdown to me.
They were the only ones offering a wagon in that size class at the time.
In the fall of '77 the parents were in the market for a new car and wanted a wagon. We test drove a top-line Aspen wagon, a '77 LTDII wagon (no Fairmonts were yet available) and the '78 Grand LeMans Safari. The latter seemed like the nicest car of the 3 and that's what Dad bought, though it was not a very well-built car as things turned out.
I remember driving the Aspen wagon and liking it reasonably well, though it understeered very badly.

To me, those GM midsizes drove like small big cars. Ford's and Chrysler's seemed like big small cars.
One apparent 'goof' that I was glad about, was althought it had no A/C, it had an A/C vent, chromed plastic, on the right side where usually was stuck a big plastic block filler. It looked a lot better. I had to show my Dad that no air actually came out of there, LOL.

I like the 'taut' look--no wasted space nor the 'prestige' long hood of the Monte Carlo.
Until '81, every Monte Carlo built in that third-generation came with the F41 suspension and 205-70 tires as standard equipment.
P.S.--Now that I read the article, I see they used the term 'taut', too!
Not that they look alike, but I also like the '64 Studebaker Daytona two-door hardtop for the same reason--not an ounce of fat on it. The Daytona and the '78 Malibu Classic were only an inch apart in wheelbase.

I saw this Morgan the other day - license plate says it’s a ‘66. About a half mile after this pic, one of the wheel trim rings comes flying off and rolls down the road and into a parking lot. The driver noticed and immediately pulled over and started walking back to retrieve it.
Same trip, this Ford F-100 (early ‘60’s ?) pulled up next to me. It turned left, so I wasn’t able to get a better shot.

when I was a kid (a long, long time ago!) there was a little old widow lady that lived a few houses down, and she had a white civilian checker like that. For some reason, I think it was a 3 on the tree. Did that even exist? Or I am just making that up.

If I could ask her a question, it would be about her memories of that car.
I always thought she was underrated. "Smoky contralto" voice (as I read it described once); a writer; plays piano and guitar, and maybe most of all--has always been 'under the radar'.
She's absolutely my lifetime favorite artist. So many great obscure cuts.
I think her voice is gone now, but I'll give her that. She'll be 74 in a few months.
I really like the "time machine" aspect of movie locations and noticing all the details of what a place used to be like, AND setting you folks a car ID challenge. So... back in NYC... in 1967... there were these two guys...
Volare coupe: 32.9"
Nova coupe: 32.4"
Granada coupe: 33.9"
Fairmont Zephyr: 32.6"
Fairmont 2-door notchback: 35.3" (to be fair, this was actually a 2-door sedan, so it was identical to the 4-door).
AMC Concord: 35.7" (again, this one's listed as a sedan).
Malibu coupe: 35.1" (I threw this one in here because, while a midsize, it was similar in overall dimensions to the other two, and was most likely cross-shopped to some degree).
Diplomat coupe: 34.1" (guess that longer wheelbase paid off a bit. FWIW, this only applies to '77-79; for '80-81 the coupe went to the shorter Volare coupe wheelbase).
So, in the overall scheme of things, I guess the Volare coupe isn't *that* bad in the back seat. FWIW, I think my '76 LeMans is also rated 32.9" of legroom in the back. I've tried sitting in the back of my LeMans, and while I wouldn't want to be there for a long time, it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
And, of course, these are just published specs...your mileage may vary!
