Far be it from me to get in the way of a legal hack, but there is the whole “a vehicle which cannot be driven upon the public streets” thing...as well as “including, but not limited to”.

How about “disincentive to work”, then? Businesses are having a hard time hiring workers back because they can make more money by staying home. You can’t have an economy without workers.
If by “science” you mean that comprehensively broken piece of gibberish masquerading as a modeling program for the Wuhan Flu from Imperial College, then yes, I know how it works: you make up numbers that won’t let you be seen later as minimizing the threat, and handwave vigorously while shouting “Listen to me! I are…
And we’d have destroyed our economy even more comprehensively than we already have.
You’re basing that number on Democrat governors’ mistakes and demonstrably faulty numerical modeling that has no basis in the real world.
People are saying that we need to shut down till there’s a vaccine. That won’t happen for another year, at minimum, and the American people are simply not going to stay locked down that long.
Yeah, that looks like a w126.
Any rationale for the lockdowns went out the window when the protests/riots happened and the panic-mongers were totally silent about crowds not distancing or wearing masks.
You’re preaching to the choir on that one. Cars exist to be driven and enjoyed. It’s just that I can’t see this one being all that enjoyable.
Why try to convince people a wonderful 6.9 is a Ferrari? I’d rather have the 6.9.
I can see it as a family project or something like that. I can even see it as practice for something you really want to restore afterwards. But I just can’t see it as something I’d want to buy and restore. Hell, give me a Mercedes W115 diesel instead (which is probably slower than this thing). It just not an…
Meh. When you’re done with all that, what you have is a ‘65 Falcon with a six and a slushbox.
If you’re looking for a restoration project, this one seems like a good candidate. The slushbox at least has the virtue of being common, so getting that rebuilt if needed shouldn’t be too terrible. The rest is doable, too.
This was Cadillac’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz SL-class. 4.1 liters? Front-wheel drive? It’s a nice enough car, overall, but pokey. Still there is someone out there for whom this would be a NP.
The interior on the R170 is known for paint issues. The car’s in otherwise great shape and the stick is indeed scarce and fun. Sign me up. NP.
It’s a Ford. Automatic CP at anything under “you give me $2000 to haul the car away”.
You want an 08-11 Mercedes GL/GLS-class. They’re available in this price range, hold up well if you maintain them (get a PPI first), and when you get out of it after 14 hours on the road, you won’t feel like you’ve been hit by a truck. You dont’ need the AMG version, though. The 450 will do you just fine, or you can…
Yeah. I have to wonder how much of the Miata DNA made it into this one. It seems like it’d be a very fun car to toss around places. And even at $2795, it’s in the “why the hell not?” range. Since it’s a dealer, you can expect to knock a bit off of that. NP, no question.
I’m not sure I think a lot of that engine placement. As others have pointed out, even for a wasserpumper, there’ll be heat issues. What concerns me, though, it that it’s hanging way down there, just ripe for hitting things in the road and causing *really* expensive damage. Like, say, speed bumps.
