Though they had their years in the wilderness, I now see newish Mitsubishis pretty often.

For better or worse, the no-fly list, though existent, is a terrorism-oriented thing of modest size. The consequences of this sort of behavior (other than possible criminal prosecution or fines) probably wouldn’t extent beyond Frontier.

Taking a wild guess that risk-benefit analysis and looking ahead to potential consequences are not among the life skills that got her where she is today.

As others have pointed out, SBC swaps into old Jaguars used to be a thing, with everything from plans to kitted-up retrofits available. And the Series 1 XJ in particular was a stately beauty. I do however have reservations about this one in the place where price and condition meet. (Also, about the degree to which

He was seen stumbling in the parking lot, and when asked if he needed help, he shrugged them off with responses that “did not make sense.”

“lightly restored” — fixed up a bit, addressing some of the problems.

I vaguely recall that this one has come up for sale before, though it may be another of that general kind of thing. It could be a good Bay/Delta work boat for someone who already knows he wants such a thing (and has, or employs someone with, the appropriate license to drive it).

I couldn’t; presumably you couldn’t; but a certain number of people do that sort of thing and go home thinking, ”I won! I beat somebody and his money is now my money!” And some parts of our society reward this—the more zeroes in the take, the better.

What is it with people who think basic trims of 25-year-rule BMW are worth gadzooks dollars? Isn’t this, like, the third one we’ve seen here?  (But I think it makes up for it by being the most expensive.).   ND

One of the problems with the original is that it was made angular enough to be kit friendly rather than really honoring the curves of the host vehicle, which would take considerable skills in either sheet metal working or the boatbuilding end of carpentry. And I’m not entirely convinced that skill of any sort had all

There is a slight temptation, but  just a couple of years ago, this one sold for slightly less money with less than half this mileage on it...

NP if you are an expert on these cars who has facilities and expertise and cheap parts, though such a person might want it more as a parts car.   Or maybe if you are similarly equipped with skills and facilities and you fancy building a hotrod or a track car on this basis.  Only such folk should even consider it... as

I think that our heroes on Next [da-da-da-DUM} The F.B. I... In Color mostly used the Custom 500. Along with an even lower trim called simply the Custom, it was a fleet and frugal-civilian version of the full size car more familiar as the Galaxie 500 or (in its all-the-buttons trim) Galaxie 500 LTD.

A kinda neat old car seemingly in attractive condition, but at eleven grand, presumably unrestored or an older restoration, at a very modest trim, I’m not surprising the ad expired with the car unsold. (They’re giving it another try at the same price:

A well presented example of the timelessly appealing athlete-in-a-bespoke-suit genre of automobile at an accessible price. But it’s a supposed “private party sale” with a phone number that belongs to a body shop. Discovering that made my spidey sense tingle...

the gear lever on RHD cars such as this sprouting from the floor on the right side of the driver’s seat. That require a bit of gymnastics to step over when entering or exiting the car.

Who needs CDs? I’m sure at least one radio button is set to KDGR — Over 65 On Your AM Dial, where it’s all Frankie, Dino, and Sammy, all day, all night.

There is also the case of Jodie Edwards.

Nice cars whose futuristic styling has held up well inside and out now that the actual future is here, but I’m guessing that the asking price is driven by what he needs to pay off the loan rather than by market research.

Park should be where hundreds of millions of us have expected it to be all our lives: at the left or forward extreme of the realm of possibilities. Getting into it is important to prevent runaways. Change this at everyone’s peril.
