Oh, dear. What a waste.
One for Andre?
Before CUV's ruled the world, there was this
This car isn't green, it's gray ... oh, wait ... now I get it
Double your pleasure, double your fun ... uh, NOT!
For as nice as this looks, and for the money invested, you would think the owner would know how to spell the marque name
Return of the mullet!
Guess there just aren't the nice choices in Denver as there are in Seattle.

W123 is a nice color...although that might be all.
Are those "Porshe" wheels really correct for a 944? They look wrong to me. Looks like an amateur project money pit.
Anyone else think BMW stole the design of the SX4 for the X6?
I think the 80s styling is kind of cool, maybe because I remember it from back in the day. The trim pieces have to truly be unobtanium though, and it seems around here most of those bikes that remain have not led easy lives.
I have a friend who has one, an '81 I think. Still has the original fuel injection, while most of them were converted to 2-bbl carbs. Nice car except for one thing...it's brown!
Dunno much about Porsches, but this 944 doesn't look bad.
Paint job's kinda silly, but otherwise this 5-series don't look too bad.
Decently preserved Crown Vic in period earth-tones.
I was starting to be impressed when I saw they spelled "Alfa" and "Romeo" correctly, but they lost me at "convertable"
Nice pic of the asphalt in this Mark VI ad.
Cheap hauler...I imagine the engine should last forever.
Oh, the humanity.
This '83 Silverado doesn't seem bad for the price. Although I don't care for that "designer" interior, and I wonder how much the lowering hurt the utility. And I'm learning to be leery of vehicles that have had potentially half-assed engine swaps or "upgrades".
I guess Diesel-mania hasn't hit the DC area yet judging from the price, but from the sounds of it, this one might need some work.
If it's just a 380, is this one just a poseur-mobile? Not bad looking, but then everything looks better wet.
Rare because it's a truly special, prestigious breed, or rare because nobody wanted it new?
Another Diesel Benz...miled up, but might still have some life left in her.
Isn't the North Carolina State Tree one of these wrapped around a telephone pole? Still, might not be bad if it all checks out.
Another Benz Diesel...this one looks kinda nice.
Shortbed GMC Sierra that looks nice in spite of its miles. Wish he'd mention which engine it has.

Probably a good thing it is nowhere near me.

When I was a kid, my aunt had one of those fake bustle Continentals. I don't remember it in any detail, I think I only rode in it once.
That 5er with the period racing paint scheme is pretty cool looking. The old European Touring Car racers might have worn that, and others (M1 I think) were painted in that scheme back in the day. Of course, no doubt that car has no racing upgrades.
The 300K mile $1000 300D is overpriced - sounds like it has a lot of issues. The cars can being decent money to the cult if they are sorted out, but when they have needs, the price drops fast.
The 380SL is the only model available that year. IIRC we never got the 5-litre 107, we had to wait for the 560SL in 1986. Price seems average.
Lancia is a [non-permissible content removed] stepchild of the marque...Shifty can go off about those...
What do you think that's worth, Shifty?

I'd say about $4500 is a fair price for all concerned, and having an Alfa specialist in the immediate area is an absolute prerequisite.
I always thought that was on the same platform as a Mark VII or Thunderbird.
Edit.... that is the Fairmont/Fox platform! Learn something new everyday, gotta love wikipedia!

I like the last truck, the blue Sierra, looks nice and clean with decent 90s style wheels too.
As for the Camaro, I can't believe how little hp they had even with a V8 motor. The odd speedo (never seen one like that in mph and km/h only goes up to 85 mph. What a joke! That's pretty pathetic.
When I was a kid back in Poland, and spotted import cars like a Fiat, Alfa, or somethng german, I'd always look (all kids did) at the speedos to see what the top speed on it was. So I was used to average econoboxes having 200km/h (120mph) speedometers or more.
So imagine my dissapointment when I came to Canada and noticed that almost all domestic cars had lousy speedometers that topped out at 160 or 180km/h (100-110mph).
European cars always have overrated speedos, but maybe because they use the same ones from the lowest models to the most high performance models.
With domestic cars, maybe the numbers are low to try and prevent people from speeding although the numbers on the speedo face have nothing to do with the actual top speed a car is capable of.

A 67 Boat-tail Duetto is sort of the holy grail for me, but I don't think you could get much off this one but the trim and the vin... :sick:
Still - think you could "put the rust to sleep for a while" if you got in for $ 3K or so?
My '66 Mustang w/ 200ci six had a 140MPH speedo, even though it topped out at a whopping 92. With the brakes that thing had, 92 was too fast!
it would be better as a parts car, and marginal at best even for that, since what everyone wants is good body panels.

In any case, after a few minutes of real thought put into it, I've realized it is not a good choice as my DD.

And for things like small trim pieces, and glass---I don't know where you'd start looking for that stuff.
That's pretty much the main reason for not doing it.

Probably too expensive Are those moon hubcaps?
As always, I have no idea how to price these but this looks good given the miles
No pic but it doesn't matter He's dreaming
This is probably good if it's what you're looking for You don't ever see these untouched like that anymore
This would have Lemko's name written all over it except for one thing
Really stand out for $8879
Another hard to find unmolested car
Very clean, very low miles but why?
0-60 measured in hours
Who put rims on this????
Camaro and RX7 look like harmless deals too.
The Lotus will catch on fire sometime, guaranteed.
MB Diesel is priced about right.
Camaro looks decent except you can probably get one 5 to 10 years newer for about the same money.
Lotus Esprit is neat too. But probably better suited as a display piece in the garage than a driver.
I think I posted that Scirocco here before. I don't think he'll ever get that money for that car. Ever.
Sometimes I secretly ponder the idea of owning an Aries. Not sure why.

Mercedes 240D -- priced fair enough but sloowwww is hardly the word. It's actually possible to get trapped in the right lane of a freeway for hours if you come up behind a breakdown or obstacle---you wouldn't *dare* pull out to try and pass anyone. Could take you 20+ seconds to go 0-60. Nice city putt-putt or join the cooking grease cult.
1983 RX-7 -- the phrase "all it needs is tires" is tossed out so casually these days, as if any kind of decent tire you'd put your life on costs $5 apiece or somthing. Still if you could bargain on it, that's cheap fun.
Oddly enough, one of the more sought after "older" motor homes is the GMC front wheel drive (Toronado drive train) monolith from the early '70's. Aerodynamic (relatively speaking) and actually handled pretty good. Also relatively speaking.
It pulled up to my shop for an oil change and a check out. I hadn't seen one before got underneath it and was blown away.
It actually drove pretty good.
That old Pace Arrow looks like a new home for Cousin Eddie!
Hoooo-Weee, I don't know why they call it Hamburger Helper; it does just fine by itself!! :P
I used to be big into motorhomes when I was a kid, and one of my relatives subscribed me to "Motorhome" magazine. I might still have some of them packed away somewhere, but sadly, I think most of 'em got thrown out. I vaguely remember them testing a Pace Arrow of that vintage. You could get them on either a Ford or Chevy chassis as I recall, but Dodge was out of the big motorhome market after 1978.
Sometimes I think it would still be neat to have an old motorhome, but I imagine the thing would be a real money pit. I always thought these things were really cool:
I kinda like the one you posted though. It's svoopy-doopy and not too large.
Once I saw the thing up close, though, I picked up a bad vibe, and decided not to do it. Probably a good thing too, because a few weeks later I got fed up with my second job and quit it, and soon after that the economy started to tank, so I wouldn't have had the time nor the money to fool around with it.
It was still a bulky beast, too, as it was as tall and wide as any typical motorhome, but just shorter. I'm sure it would've been more cumbersome than that other thing I posted, which is a Rectrans Discoverer, 25 feet long I believe.
I thought it was pretty cool, too, how they were able to retain the Dodge identity of the thing, but it wasn't just a Dodge van cab with a motorhome body built on. Back around 1999 or 2000, our local park and sell lot had a similar motorhome that was based on a Chevy platform, and was able to integrate the van grille and headlights into it as well. I don't think it was built by Rectrans, though. For some reason I'm thinking Sportscoach or Coachmen, but there were tons of motorhome builders in those days, so I guess it could've been anybody. It was white with the requisite period orange/yellow/burnt-sienna color accents and shag carpet. Looked like something that could give you an STD!
"Are you looking for something other than a Mustang"
Maybe that Mustang GT engine is a bit overkill, but it sounds like the seller beefed the car body up, as well.
