Agree that kit cars are a gamble, but this . . . this . . . the tackiness plus a small block in an old Fiero and the scissor doors make this thing irresistible. Take it to EVERY car show in your area and piss off old farts. Take it to cars and coffee and toast 2.3L Mustangs.

Makes me nostalgic for the days of “Tavarish,” whose theme as a Jalopnik contributor was living large for a relatively small amount of money by snagging the cast-off cars of the rich at the bottom of their depreciation curve. He could also do a lot of his own work and was quite open about this risk of rolling like a…

Normally a 20 year old German car would be a ND from me, but at this price — for this kind of performance — I think the ask is just about worth the gamble. It’s still a close call, though, and I think for me it would come down to the vibe I got from the seller.

Mini just has too many special editions that it’s hard to treat one as any different than the other. Considering how cheap you can get these, it’s very very hard to justify paying basically new car MSRP after 20 years.

I thought so, but the article was misleading early on and i was too lazy to look it up.

$6,000 is a steal. Definitely meets rule of cool requirements as it’s a truck that can do 99% of what truck owners need them to do without weighing 3x as much and getting 1/2 the fuel economy. In better shape than I am and we’re both from 1988. Very nice price.

She is ready to take up a position in the passenger seat. NP. 

If anything, they're gonna think it's an old Nissan Stanza.

And apparently, more than half the country is OK with that because they voted the fucker back in.

This is what happens when the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and the Klan are your political base. You start feeling free to say the racist shit out loud.

They convinced people over a decade ago that “social justice” was the biggest evil the world faced. Why is their ability to get their moronic base to parrot talking points a surprise?

Oh for the love of all that is holy, I wish someone would isolate this clown from any form of communication for at least a month after any event.

Agreed, voted ND because the owner is cringe. These cars aren’t rare and this isn’t a special price. You can get a base Cayman for 15-20k all day from someone who isn’t an annoying boomer

Honestly this is is a borderline case in my eyes, but it tips ND due to the smoldering assholery of the seller’s text. I know the Borla doesn’t add “significant” power, the fake carbon fiber crap isn’t tasteful, and sticking a piece of wood on the headliner isn’t a fix.

I say ND because of the owner. “Millenial anti-theft device”? And instead of actually replacing the headliner - with the kit HE ALREADY HAS - he just sticks a piece of wood - sorry, “milled ash” - up there.

Yeah, but then you’re driving a Challenger. I’d rather walk and that’s not an exaggeration.

If you want a RWD 6 speed manual, there really aren’t many better options for the same money.

NP when you consider that a Chevy SS with a stick is like $40k, and a G8 GXP goes for around the same price as this GTO in acceptable condition (or more if it’s nice). This isn’t the car for me, but there are definitely people out there who really love these things and this price is fair for the spec and condition.

Maybe they thought he’d be too embarassed to bring it up?

Some people just need to get beat up once in a while to give their Narcissisms a check. Though I am glad it ended peacefully.
