Jay Leno collects Duesenbergs. Many collect Italian exotics, corvettes, hot rods, british sportscars...

Oh hell yes:

Those seats!

I’d buy it: the price is surprisingly cheap, the dumb wing is easy to delete and resell, the muffler can be found at a parts yard, upholstery is easily cleaned and it’s a manual transmission as the sports car gods intended. Most NPOND posts show that most Jalopnik commenters aren’t willing to get their hands dirty or…

You’re not wrong, but this type of build was also a specific subculture of offroad minitrucks (mini monsters) for a hot minute in the late 80s and early 90s. I haven’t popped the link to see if it was originally built like that, but either way, it’s pretty clear that this was the intended outcome, personal preferences…

I don’t come round these parts as often as before, but I do appreciate the effort you take to do this almost every day. It’s often very entertaining to read.

People kept bring up off topic wank from Deadspin and bitching on there about DS’s comment section being closed. By all means, keep on bring up that off topic wank about how two other comment sections got closed down on this comments section. I’m sure that won’t end badly for everyone else.

I remember going to Wrigley Field as a kid and hanging around the players’ parking lot trying to get autographs after the game. Mark Grace had a red Lumina Z34 and I thought it was the coolest car in the world. NP just for my own nostalgia purposes.

“The ad does not provide any background explaining the impetus for the new mill.”

It’s got a clean title but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been binned. Panel gaps on both front fenders don’t look right to me. The passenger side fender has certainly had some sort of repair or paint work to it (poorly- it’s chipping around the wheel well), and even the trunk doesn’t look quite straight to me but could…

I have no idea if it’s worth that much, but it sure looks like it’s worth that much. Nice presentation.

No brainer. NP & Happy Holidays everyone!

A car from a time when automakers thought they could sell more trucks by making them look like sedans. Today, you want to sell a car you need to make it look like a truck.

I would call the rear window “concave” rather than “wrap-around”.

No it’s not.

You can get a pretty BMW 850 for less than 30K. ND

I don’t think AWD was available in the Plymouth variant of the Diamond Star trio, as it was in the Eagle and Mitsubishi models.

That’s why we don’t put 12 year olds in charge of nothing.

What was done to this car is absolutely criminal.
