70-73 car’s are this price....as a roller.

For starters, the painted outside driver door handle looks broken. Not having a functioning drivers door handle is a decent quirk level.

Or dangle them in front of the intake, as implied by glemon

I’ve got a stack of receipts to show that rebuilding and restoring an E-Type is truly expensive.

NP, ND or third option RD? Roll Dice?

There is a lot more hidden rust on that Fiat...

Classic Ferrari... also classic Ferrari. 

That’s exactly what this would be for me - at minimum the interior and drivetrain would have to go and almost 7 grand for having to pitch pretty much all but the body is way too much money.

Agreed.  The miles, dash cover and seats turned this into a $2500 car.

To the contrary, that many miles is a GOOD thing on a nearly 40 year old car. That means it likely didn’t spend long periods sitting and someone did everything necessary to keep it running.

Counterpoint: The maintenance required to get an Alfa to the moon means that pretty much any wear item has been replaced at least once. Someone kept this running.  An ‘87 Alfa with 230k miles is no more likely to be a ticking time bomb of deferred maintenance than one with half as many miles.

The problem is: the Morgan Super 3 (the replacement for the 3 Wheeler) does steampunk much better. It’s also a good deal more expensive, but the Vanderhall just seems like a ersatz three-wheeler in place of the Morgan you really wanted. It feels like the Kia Amanti of trikes. Plus, no manual transmission in the…

At this price (and I say it as someone that lives just outside of the Buffalo area) it should have zero rust, the headlights shouldn’t be starting to fog/haze, and it better have $3k sitting on the hood.

IMO, that rust isn’t unreasonable for the NE-and esp. Buffalo. That there isn’t more is kinda remarkable. But at this price the rust should be zero.

It looks like that fender got dinged up and repaired with a framing hammer. 

There's a robust market for an RT, but anything less isn't worth the money if your intentions are to make money.

Those shift boots were infamous for being garbage. That also applies to the 3000GT. I had a friend with a Stealth and the VR4 of the same year and since they shared basically everything both were sun rotted out in the mid 2000's.

I’m a 90s kid and remember these being pretty cool for what they were, but the Japanese tuner market of the era overshadowed them so badly that it’s hard to imagine these having any real following. I’m sure there are a few dozen who love them, but almost anyone nostalgic for this era probably has a list of cars ahead…

I was right on the fence as well, and went ND because I always thought the 3000gt was a better looking car and I’ve I’m going for it I want the top dog VR4. But this one is VERY clean and a cool 90s time machine, so it was a difficult call.
