I would love to buy a Alpine A310 V6 one day, it is what John Delorean intended to build but his (DMC-12) was too heavy.

My AMC Eagle SX4 project car is an amalgamation of three different cars (officially) but more if you count parts from other vehicles bought online. It currently has the engine and crossmember from an 1980 Eagle wagon, 5-speed trans I bought rebuilt off ebay from Jeep CJ (but who knows), the full suspension from a 1979…
I was going to slam this bloated, roll-over prone, design by committee temple of compromise, but less than 2 grand for a 115,000 mile SUV........from the 90's..........NP all day.
Hopefully, Ken running the Cossie at WRC Mexico will lead other US teams to bring there cars down to Mexico to run the National Open class. I think Subaru US Rally Team’s WRX rally cars could compete against the current WRC cars if allowed. In a perfect world, it would lead to the FIA loosening up their rules to allow…
I was initially thinking Innocenti I4 or A40 but you are correct, it is an Autobianchi Bianchina.
Depending on price (which will probably be high) these pre built chassis could be used to transplant (with some modifications to either the original body, the chassis or most likely both) existing bodies from body-on-frame vehicles as an easier way to make a classic EV.
I think this looks awesome and I can’t wait to see some millionaire run it though the Dakar rally, which is not bad now just different (but that’s a different argument). Just remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think these are great cars, I own (2). A wagon in much worse shape (parts car) and a SX4 liftback in considerably better shape. The initial build quality is questionable by today’s standards but compared to other US automakers at the time, it’s normal. The models with the AWD (80-81) are the best ones in my mind as…
So, is it possible for one of us western devils for purchase these abandoned cars that are too expensive for Hong Kong registration and/or taxes?
I can appreciate any post where current automakers are called out for being cowards.
Regardless of how you feel about car mods, “rollin’ coal” is stupid and irresponsible. Their show was equally terrible for glorifying the entire “rollin’ coal” lifestyle and I am pleased they were fined so heavily. Hopefully this will lead Discovery to cancelling the show. Also, WTF happened to Discovery, used to be…
I’m not sure what the attraction is with the recent adverts for non-exotic kit cars (hopefully amusement at the jalop communities hatred), but no one other than the seller wants these things. They are always overpriced. When the car is finished, it isn’t worth the money put into it, it isn’t worth the value of what…
I hope this is the case, this is how Ford Broncos are supposed to look. All other “leaked” photos i’ve seen make it look like either an Escape-Bronco rendering or a 4-door Jeep Wrangler rip-off.
They already had a name that we chose to forget (as referenced in the 1985 film “The Goonies”), ORV. If the main difference in the class is that some are off-road ready and others less so, lets just go back to using ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) for Jeeps, Broncos etc. and everything else can keep SUV.
IT’s PEOPLE!!!
If the Yaris GR does come to America, I may have to suspend my “never buy new” rule. Or wait a year and buy a used one at a significantly better price...........and that’s why it won’t come here. Shit!
The seller may have the 5.0 from the Mustang to go into the car but that’s just one piece of a large puzzle. It will still need a new trans that can handle the power increase and likely a new rear end with potentially different gearing. Who sells a car anyway under the pretense that you, could make it better just like…
This car isn’t priced ridiculously but I still think $3985 is too much money for a non-turbo, 150000+mile, convertible, automatic 1990s Nissan. Unfortunately still CP.
I’ve owned one of these cars and they are fun to drive and the 6-speed stick is a very rare option. However, the air bag suspension is prone to failure and I replaced mine with the standard coilover conversion which made a world of difference. Also, if the timing belts/chains (this engine uses a hybrid timing system) h…
This rant brings me warmth on a cold Michigan morning.
