Funny. I saw one of these trucks just last Wednesday, while I was sitting outside the Irish Snug on Colfax in Denver. I was wondering what the import status might be...

I love this car, but I don't eat enough garlic, smoke enough Gitanes or neglect bathing enough to justify the $32k price tag.

@TR3-A: I actually heard (and loved) Del's cover first, but Richard's original version is the best. It just sounds better sung with a Welsh accent!

Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike

If the plane's been sitting for 7 years, shouldn't they just assume the engines need a rebuild? Why go to all the trouble of testing them, given the risk? It seems to me that if they're going to the expense of getting one aloft again, they shouldn't balk at refurbing the engines from the get-go.

Yeah, it's a neat car, and probably a lot of fun. But it ain't no $6k neat.

Just had a discussion with a fellow Jalop the other day, regarding the styling atrocities committed by Ford in the 70s. This is one of them.

Chalk me up for another big-ass UHaul... The "Granny's Attic" 26-footer on a late-70s F100 chassis with a granny 4-speed. What an enormous, gas-guzzling, jaloptastic pile of shit.

@TAInvestor: I've never made the guy's acquaintance... Just enjoyed the view on the nights I've walked by and seen the garage open. If I ever see an opportunity to walk up and chat, I plan on doing so.

I have a neighbor who has a matched set of these in his garage, both in fly yellow. He also has one of those sweet four-post storage lift thingies.

@James Marino: You've done an awful lot of yawning in this thread, James. Maybe you need some hot Ovaltine and a nap?

@Cheeseslap: Hey, I drive one of those. And I have a strict no-commie-hippie policy where passengers are concerned.

I see that someone already beat me to the '76 2002 option, so I'm going to head to the other end of the spectrum and go with a '76 Trans Am. In Carousel Red with the W-code 455 and 4-speed box, natch.

Thisshit gon' be all up i'mah het 'en I be goin' ou' n straigh' whippin' my own '86 Vo-vo waygun 'n run to tha store, yo.

@TraderCoz: Ah, it's okay. Somebody else in the comments posted a pic of a Volvo 240 wagon, which happens to be *my* personal pick. Guess that means I'm an asshole.

@IN THE FACE!: The last item on the list extends from the grievousness you described, all the way up to the assholes who add 24" wheels and candy paint to Murcielagos and F430s.

@Jokermanpaco: Yes, I forgot the Prius. I'd also suggest the Lexus Hybrid.

Gah. So many choices. Can I suggest a list?

@zeeboid: I see what you did there. And I approve.
