Oy, as in oy veh. ND.

If that is indeed a paint job and not a wrap, ND. It’s all contingent on that. Even the car’s basic design is not my aesthetic, but I could overlook it for the functionality. But not desirable enough to be bothered with a respray.

You know those “Ugliest Cars Ever Made” listicles? This generation of Subaru somehow gets overlooked every time. Just irredeemably hideous. On the other hand, the nostalgia is strong–the color, the tiny white wheels. You would certainly stand out at C&C. But I’m not paying $7.5K for the privilege. ND.

If I were going for a 2nd gen Camaro, I would go a little earlier to get the design in its purest form, without the diving board bumpers and with the proper round taillights. Even then, it would have to be in a lot nicer shape for this price. ND.

If it’s all as presented, this is the sweet spot. Well sorted, but not so nice you’d be afraid to get it dirty or add another ding. And in this market, priced near the low end of “purchase you won’t instantly regret.”

Humorously, from some angles, the unfamiliar design gives off Cadillac Allanté vibes.

I went ND, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone pays it. It’s like an email scam: It costs next to nothing to put it in front of thousands or millions of eyes, and you only need one to take the bait. And there’s plenty of new, dumb money in the D.C. area.

For the right price, this could be the base for a patient restoration project. Or you could ignore the cosmetic issues and enjoy the driving experience until something big breaks. This ain’t that price.

Quirks as in, reverse doesn’t work? Or quirks as in, you can summon a friendly spirit with the turn signal stalk? An important distinction. But tentative NP.

There’s the car, and there’s the grille. The sheet metal is understatedly handsome. The grille is iconic. Put them together and it’s a parody of itself, like sticking one of those fake Rolls grilles on a Beetle. As for this one, it’s much, much farther down the depreciation curve than the seller wants to admit.

So, about 13% of you would probably take your remaining dollars and stick them in front of the exhaust to be incinerated or scattered into the wild blue yonder.

IF the work it needs is nothing egregious, then NP, I suppose. But the mechanic’s offer in the ad is notable, and not in a good way.

Does it come with a fresh jar of English wire smoke and a rattle can of Italian rust? No? Then ND.

Why did I only just notice the LR in the background? This seller is a multinational masochist.

I’m feeling optimistic today, so I went NP assuming this goes to an Alfa devotee who knows what lies ahead. All others should run away. But this is the kind of vote that requires a middle option. Nice Dice?

Worst case, which seems pretty likely, you drive it until something breaks and then part it out. NP.

Sadly, in this market, which is still atrocious and abysmal, NP.

That Spider looks pretty fly, I went NP. But let’s make that contingent...hope there’s not much more of this underneath.

Good to see a Ferrari performing at factory spec even after all these years.

I can see that horrible interior color. I think they called it “saddle.” They did vinyl tops and rub strips and even wheels in that same color, and they would pair it with red, navy, even green. Absolutely hideous.
