There are about 10 on Los Angeles craigslist right now.

When I was in Egypt in 1990 these were everywhere. They were the favorite of cab drivers there.

I had a 76 Mitsubishi/Dodge colt wagon.

Yea, You can easily find out by measuring out the throw with a template. But it is a bummer , but the upside is the geometry makes for a more efficient throw. You probably shave .008th of a second off your shift time as compared to a full gate.

Also, a great way to get a bee to fly directly into your face at 65mph.

Another issue is that the shifter throw is so close together. I had a buddy try and machine a gate for his 2006 civic Si, 1st and 3rd gear channels were physically so close together that the gate wouldn't have been separated, it would have just a larger opening. Unless you used a shifter shaft that was the diameter of…

The thing that gets me is less the find itself, and more the fact that the auction house took the time to photograph the cars as nicely as they did.

the accelerator was pushed in a straight-line

I'm with you man. There is a 74 Honda Kei van on LA Craigslist right now.

You don't need a license to drive on private property.

What happens to car makers? I seems like so many mid market manufacturers have an era of race and performance dominance that builds a great following, and then.... poof! It's back to bland sedans, and sad cross-overs with reliability issues.

Agreed. Even worse are the dudes that still think women in the automotive world only means import models.

Maybe this is the root of the problem? Maybe in order to actually write a good article about a vehicle these writers require a little more than... I don't know.... getting paid, free travel, lodging and food, and the chance to drive or ride in a manufacturers latest creation. And maybe this is the reason most auto…

Awesome. Awesome.Awesome.

Hayward himself is quoted as saying that a Mini of this vintage could fetch something like $20,000 or even $30,000 if sold for parts. So why can't we ship it back to England, where it's from, and then sell it there? Why can't we sell its parts? The sheer wastefulness involved here is kind of insane. I mean, God forbid…

There's one parked on my street right now.

Korean Air is one of the best airlines to fly as far as customer experience goes. I'm kind of glad they raised a fuss. Unlike airlines in the US where the rule of thumb is "Customer service, it's a number you call after we screw up your entire flying experience"

Add some remotes to those PowerWheels and you have the most perfect car-dolly ever
