David, as a fellow Michigander, you need some sort of covered storage area for tough michigan winters. Even if unheated, it would extend the life of your dragon’s hoard of jeeps beyond what they can sitting outside. And depending on where you live, you might get hit up with a blight ticket for having an unlicensed…

I literally just finished watching the 1981, 82, and 83 Manx rallies on this channel.  Hopefully someone out there has a treasure trove of Early to Mid 80s SCCA Prorally.

The long list of reference cars is likely due to the fact that almost no one goes out looking for one of these. It’s the much bigger brother of the model everyone wants. For a not-very-desirable model and with the lack of information shared, at $8500, CP.

OK, the problem with car shows isn’t that they are all fighting stupid artificial deadlines or employee infighting. Those tropes have passed on to other facets of trash reality tv.....for the most part. All we can do about the few holdouts is to not watch their crappy shows. Any show like West Coast Customs including…

I’m not proud to say that I’ve seen that movie.

As a hardcore AMC enthusiast and owner, this is a rare case where money doesn’t matter, I want it......NP

I think Mac and Me is far more terrifying. 

David, if you purchase this project to repair, I would suggest looking into the aftermarket to find parts that while likely more expensive are designed to not fail in the exact same way. The consumers may have used the incorrect oil but a manufacturer shouldn’t put parts into production that have such a strict…

It’s hard to tell if the car is just hard to drive, or perhaps scary, but the driver does not appear to be pushing very hard. Maybe he was instructed to not break the car. Or perhaps he was the incorrect choice of driver but a car of that caliber should be in the top 10 of any speed-week hill climb it enters.

ok, NPOCP is often akin to anti-BoT. Here something is perceived to be a good value if it is cheap above all else. BoT (while sometimes out of control) believes sought after models in great condition inherently increase in value. Believe it or not, when an automaker builds a car that is considered iconic, and then…

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.
