In the world of automotive toys, $55oo isn’t much ask. This is crazy enough I’d say it’s a fair price. Fly your freak flag high, give zero fucks, and NP.
I think I speak for most intelligent humans when I say "Stanced = Instant CP"
Most of us could afford maintenance on a 91 Accord. I doubt many could afford the maintenance on her.
Rob, when your title read “worth bagging,” I thought we were going to see a mundane exterior on a whip that does this.
I’m going to guess that the wife is a lot higher maintenance than this Honda. Keep the car, it’ll probably give you less headaches and cost you less in the long run.
Let me do the math............................20.00
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, it’s 65 tons of American Pride!
Like all other BMWs, once it’s rolled out of the showroom floor the i8 shits away street price like it’s getting ready for a colonoscopy.
Show me on the doll
Don’t hold back, this is a safe space. You can tell us how you really feel.
Clicked the article to see if it maybe had a duramax or something interesting done to justify that ridiculous price, but no, just a decaying old pickup with a 10ft paint job. This may be the most CP post I’ve ever seen, he’s off by an order of magnitude. $1500 tops if it runs, and even that is a stretch.
If you even considered buying it, at any price, you’ve never driven one. A single 2 mile test drive would change your mind. Every red light is an anxiety-inducing event, every merge makes you wish for mercy, side roads are the only option, as these are illegally slow for expressways. A friend of mine who had one was…
You think that is large? You shoulda seen the engine on my 73 Eldorado.
DAYUM.
So this roller Vette will never be numbers’ matching and, at best, could be brought back to a “correct” state of existence. Why bother? Resto-mod the fuck outta this beauty; big bore V8 crate, Tremec 6 cogger, state of the art suspension, and electronic gizmo the fuck into its performance capabilities.
Corvesla? Now that's thinking with portals.
I have no idea if that’s a good price, but this is exactly the Corvette I’d want to start with: a clean body and a VIN, because I’d throw the rest away. New chassis set up for modern suspension, big discs all around, and an LS backed up by a 6-speed. Custom interior, custom paint, custom hood, maybe a few small body…
I have no problem with an M button...but the fact that it says M Squared and does not deliver squared performance is my issue.
Not only that, but a good bit of the LH chassis design was premised on that of the Eagle Premier,
