I recommend you stop being such a pussy

Jesus Christ dude quit being such a sperg

An engine swap will most definitely run you over $2k all said and done for an LT1. I’ll gladly pay $2k extra up front for this much better starting point all around. Send a link of what these $4k C4s look like.

You’d eat your words when you spend $2k on catch up maintenance/repairs to get to the state of the $6k car

“One of Corvette’s weakest engines.”

This one has an LT1 bub

Exactly.  It’s the perfect affordable weekend fun car that can even do some occasional DD duty.  Probably done depreciating too

Big difference between “cheapest running” and 86k OG miles in seemingly very decent condition bub

Good info and you obviously know your stuff, but this bit confused me:

Look at what totally clapped out G-bodies are going for these days and get back to me bub.  I agree with everyone else, C4s are as cheap today as they’ll ever get.

Bro, you’re brain dead.

How many miles is the average European driving in a year though?  I suspect a lot less tbh.

I’ll take that reliable and robust 4spd over a newer Jatco CVT any day.

What’s it like living with an all-consuming case of TDS? LOL

I think this is the best take here. I’m on a similar brainwave, and before we had our first I was doing the flipping thing. Not necessarily as a way to make a big profit (I never really did) but I’d get in a “mood” and decided I really wanted say, a small old stick shift truck. I’d buy something driveable in decent…

Hammerhead above put it well: Mitsu would be selling cut-rate 4Runners/Tacomas if they brought the Pajero/Pajero Sport/L200 here, and I think they’d do well with them.

They went from being novel early adopters of IRS to letting that thing rot on the vine. And frankly the move to IRS was kind of head of the curve but at the same time short changed the trucks in terms of durability. I looked at gen IIIs a long time and test drove a few before being ultimately put off by how many small…

Sounds lame

Moron.

Go cry somewhere else about it nerd!

The regular Hemi+8spd is a sweetheart of a combo, and would make for a really fun ride in a regular JKU. Top down, Hemi making some awesome sounds, what’s there not to “get?”
