if it won’t fit in my garage, it’s not a viable toy - cool, but ND from me.

Thunderbird. Full stop.

It’s not that nice, nor is it even  very clean.....story is a touch overbaked here.  

these things will for sure nickel and dime ya - but if you can wrench yourself, they’re cheap and easy and far better choice than any Jeep of the same price or vintage.

All day long and twice on Sunday, assuming it starts, tops, turns, and doesn’t make any really really bad noises along the way. Tires and wheels alone are worth close to a 1/3rd of that. 

mine is a marauder clone, with the interior from a 2011 Mustang, dual flowmasters, and usually only 3 doors.  It’s hit 2 deer and still does battle daily on the tollway.  I shit you not, drive is neutral - the conversion to console from column has.....’issues’.  This is not rocket appliances, Randy.

Panther is always the right answer for college kids, and people who need to actually get to work reliably for cheap.

God, you guys are so un-creative today.

this was pre-malaise

that’s a pretty easy thing to fix, tbh.  It’s just o-rings in the valves dried up.

why would anyone want this?  or want to fix this up?  or even strip it for parts?  junkyard dog.  ND at any price.

just because someone WILL pay that, doesn’t mean they SHOULD, or that it’s a NP, which it’s not. That’s a crappy old underpowered little pickup truck that gets crappy mileage, has an engine that’s a nightmare to do work on, bogs down with the A/C on, and has crap for payload. 2500 is a NP.  At $3800 it better have a

nah, that truck in this article is overpriced.  yours is correctly priced.

being now in my 50's, I can honestly say, I used to say that too....I hope you do....I don’t, sadly.....it just got harder, and I’m getting lazier. Am finding the key to joy is my new mantra  - “less shit, and better of it”

correct take, well laid out post - props wuzilla.  NP

meh....nah.  CP

It’s an old Audi.  that’s enough for #HARDPASS
