I doubt he got rid of the engine. This ad screams that he just picked up a shell and tossed in whatever drivetrain he had lying around.

Y tho?
283 then put a bunch of work into it? Start with a 350 and get more for less.
3 speed? Sure, I don’t plan on going over 60 mph.
What you got here is a box of parts someone threw together into a sputtering mess. $500 for the engine + trans, and $750 for the rolling shell = $1,250 is fair.

Yeah, if your S30 is all rusted, who am I kidding, of course it’s rusted, this project saves you half the work of transferring everything. over

Anyone who would prank you while you're doing something as dangerous as working on an automobile is not your friend.

You could solve this two ways.

And, ironically, may not exist for long...

Come on, snark is the reason the Gawker blogs exist!

Regera? More like Regreta...amiright?

“You never had your snark”

But really, when has GM ever faced consequences for stupid past decisions and resistance to new technology?

Oh...I guess I should have picked the expensive Malibu with the V8?

Honda Accord. You can get it with 3-pedals and it is a damn enjoyable daily driver. You can have it as a hybrid or a powerful V6. It is comfy, affordable, reliable. You can fit real adults in the back seat and it also has a sizable trunk. It’s not a 3-series, but it’s also not a total bore to drive.

I sold Toyotas when the Camry Hybrid first came out. At that time, dealers couldn’t stipulate what packages or colors you got because everything was coming off the boat from Japan and there was no inventory input. Our first load of three hybrids came in and one was this Jasper Green. Our dealer called the region…

He said Camry Hybrid... so it must be in that Cystitis pee green colour.

The Camry is a dependable car. Not a bad choice.

Since the answer is really the Model S, and you didn’t specify “new”:

The Mustang owner later apologized, claiming he didn’t actually see the motorcycle, only the rider.

You want something RWD and with a personality instead?

FYI - A parking lot full of broken jeeps isn’t called a hoard. It’s called a dealership.

You risk all that every time you leave your driveway.
