I don’t know quite what to make of this car. It is not a hot rod with a modified V-8, just a Falcon with straight six and three on the tree as most of them came from the factory.  Except they didn't come from the factory this blingy.  I remember white and beige and light blue falcons with subdued interiors.  Nicely

Subtract the cost of the clutch job and a reupholster job on the front seats from the price, then we will talk.  Also, billet engine mounts?  Sure it does wonders for NVH.  Anyway, no dice.

Nice car, and yeah, the two door premium coupe market certainly isn’t what it was. But anyway, I think I could nice price this at $6-7,000, which is still kind of crazy for an old car with 150,000 miles, but too much as priced.

I think the whole point of the article is that these are the cars people feel the market overvalues, not what the market trend is. 

The most overvalued is ‘50s microcars, Isettas and Messerschmitts and such. Cars were built to be the cheapest transportation you can buy. Cars people bought because they couldn’t afford a real car. They now go for 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars.

Not to mention maybe block the foot traffic of people who want to cross the bridge.  As somebody else mentioned, I think this is pretty standard practice at racetracks these days, as I recall Road America has them permanently blocked, though there are little slits you can peek out of.

Really? I have never had a problem getting a night knocked off if my length of stay changes, as long as I give 24 hours notice.

I don’t know that I have ever rented a car without feeling like I got scammed or hit with some significant extra fee or cost. I try to avoid renting a car when I travel whenever possible, but not always possible.

“Until the single mom who lives in an apartment building has a safe and cheap place to charge enough money to buy one of these the appeal is going to be limited.”

I think you are likely in the top 30% of earners to be able to afford a new EV

I never bought one of these, but drove one or two with good intentions back in the day. The were kinda fun little runabouts, a little bad in the NVH category compared to a contemporary Honda or Toyota (or most anything else) by by all accounts a pretty reliable and cheap car to run. I am also biased towards cars that

Sorry, modified, 190,000 miles, in primer, no interior pics, and bad ball joints. No Dice, I am out.

Though there aren’t any photos of the nether regions, it looks pretty rust free. The interior looks like it just needs a good clean, which is the real appeal, and it is an interesting, rare car that is significant in that it was the pre-cursor, or an early ground troup if you will, in the Japanese invasion of the

At one time it was the idea of a deal. Some neglected old rare and interesting car that you could pick up cheap because the owner had sort of forgotten about, finding a buried treasure.

Gracefully done

I remember hearing them for the first time in the early 80s, “Sitting Still” was everything a kid who had faint memories of early Beatles growing up and missed good guitar rhythm and harmonies music could ever want in a song. I was smitten. Others that didn’t make the list Pretty Persuasion, Letter Never Sent, Chronic

Whenever somebody makes this remark about a fairly recent (last couple decades) older orphan mainstream model like a Saab or Saturn or the like I just chuckle.

We see so many car like this, where seller is asking a premium price for what is somewhere in the gray zone between collector and used car, and they almost always have issues, high miles, A/C just needs a recharge, cosmetic stuff, seller wants premium price but can’t be bothered to fix little things, clean the car,

Now playing

The Allante because it does nothing for me, though it is your car, so take that for what it is worth. The Boxster because too much work and you are a busy man and will never get to it. Quite frankly the rest got cooler and cooler as it went on, and you should keep them all.  If you are still short of time and space

What the car could be after dropping $60k into it to get the value to $40K (giving the seller the benefit of getting price right for the nice ones).
