Like the car, not really my cup of tea, but looks like an engaging drive with room for four. Price is too high, even in today’s inflated market. No Dice.

In the 90s I had been driving Hondas and Mazdas for several years. One day for reasons I can’t remember I ended up driving a co-workers 90s GM product. All the switchgear felt catchy and cheap, as did the whole car, like it was built on a budget and about to fall apart. Most anything else this condition, era, price…

Probably right priced in this crazy market, also not so low miles that you feel like you have to preserve it in a time vault. Nice or at least probably market correct price.

Blame Google, my search was “60s American Convertibles” this came up and caught my eye.  Also, close enough in concept.

‘60s American boat, doesn’t have to be fancy like a Caddy or Lincoln, just big enough to fit 4 (or 5 or 6, bench seats), long, low and flashy. Take the gang to the beach or dinner in style.

My first reaction was no dice. But this thing could be as fun, in its own way, as an old MG or Triumph, and even the cheapest old sports car is bringing this kind of money in very good condition, and it is easier to find a chrome bumper MGB or TR6 than a decent one of these. Plus the color and whole car is such an 80s…

170,000 miles, dirty hatch carpet, rust starting, if it runs well, this is a $3500 car.  No dice

Vent Wings

If it has the oscillating dash vents...nope, still crack pipe, but the 626 oscillating dash vents are a pretty cool feature that I think 626s had through the 80s and 90 at least.

Though I went nice price I would have to check out the body first to really know.  If it is a recent repaint, then there may be all sorts of trouble skimmed over and hidden underneath.

Forgetting about the doors for a minute, this is a decent price for one of these.  Prices are kind of all over the map for these, but it is a lot easier to find similar to this for more than for less, so nice price, but for me the doors would have to be reversible (taken back to stock, not twisted around in yet…

May be a great car, but I think the guy wants to impress people without looking like he is trying to impress people, a newer Caddy is probably not what he was thinking of.

I like the way you are thinking, I suggested a couple older Germans, E9 or W111 Mercedes, but for me personally, the Jag or Nash Healey would do just fine.

Get a BMW from back when BMWs had class.

So if somebody was to fly me my food I might be willing to pay the delivery fee plus service fee plus tip that you.pay for this stuff.

Yeah, good point

Isn’t that pretty much the ultimate clothes on adolescent fantasy.  I remember when I was a kid spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about whether I could bring a plane down safely in an emergency.  Didn't everybody?  Good on this guy for actually doing it.

Sorry, too many miles for that kind of money, but the final deal breaker was the tear in the top.  At $52,000 I am expecting that kind of thing to be addressed properly before the sale.

Absolutely great for a weekend work truck, sure it could have been had cheaper 2-3 years ago, but as is I want it. These are not too far removed from the trucks I drove when I worked on a friend’s farm in the late 70s and early 80s.  Real work truck, for real work, with all the luxury you need, A/C.   Easy nice price.
