The race was in his home country after all!

Oshit, I forgot to add them to the end of that essay:

Locals only!

Because I'm holding the camera and you're wrenching in that picture, I thought

I also feel like you could build a sick 2500 GMC suburban for $9k. Here's a good starting point for $6.5k. Parts for these things used are easy to come by. They came with diesels if you want to go that route.

My first car was an '86 with the t-tops. It was a blast to drive and easy to work on (for the most part) also helped me learn car control in the snow.

Rollin' in my Five Point Oh...

Great car, but I never really cared for the 1987+ taillights. The ones that came before look a bit nicer to me.

Nothing say's 80's like a Pontiac Firebird. Only way to make this incredibly well preserved example any more 80's would be to paint it black, install a red oscillating light on the front, and hire a German guy who can't act to drive it...

Yeah but remember the crap didn't hit the fan until December. The first Continentals were made in '39 with minor updates each year until production was halted after Pearl Harbor.

It's the 2+2 , least desirable of all the XKEs but still an awesome car. I have 2 of them. That one looks to be in pretty poor shape, the post has no info at all either, that's why it's so cheap. In decent condition they usually go for 25-35K

Electronics aren't nearly as bad as people think, it's only the ignition

At least he didn't block any lanes. Props to the driver.
