    Your math is fuzzy I think. most car guys, AKA hoarders have at least two projects going that are basically 20 footers and a coouple waiting in the wings. they do in fact need an old reliable, but probably crusty half ton or better truck for parts and towing duties and at least one new car for reliable daily driving,…

    Nor builds vehicles design to distribute food unless you count Uber Eats I suppose. this kind of shenanigans is the type of thing that results in people being so pissed off about closing retails and bars since 8 hours shoulder to should in a manufacturing facility is certainly just as bad, if not worse as the…

    It would not be a nice price to me as it does very little trucking stuff for me, but for many people needing basic carrying capacity and daily driver economy in a relatively reliable package you cannot really go wrong with this. I would want something a bit higher spec, a few less miles and with at least basic 4WD…

    except because this is such a low mile example and only like this once, going concours has it’s merits. that is the Dillemma though. do you suddenly start using it, knowing that sitting can be nearly as bad as driving a lot on a car. 

    Aside from AutoMobil’s response, which is absolutely correct, I would ask you Andrew, how do you pronounce GIFT or GIVE or GET(Git to you most likely)?

    I will be honest, I thought I would do them a solid and try to support them, I tend to buy cars somewhat frequently. Also I wanted to see what kind of actual deals they could work versus what some douche in his glass office forced upon the sales guys.

    That is a place where GM could actually make some cash actually, there are dealerships everywhere, they could very easily install charging stations that cost less for Chevy owners to use than alternate brands and if they were smart they would be buying up the less reputable or more derelict gas stations versus getting…

    Looks too close to a Fiata 124 to me.

    I AM THE LAW!!!!!! No thank you.

    seriously, for something so poorly designed, it is amazing the Countach has retained it’s value. 

    I immediately thought is might have been a prestige sales car like Mary kay cars, but perhaps Avon Back when this was new, it definitely is a unique combo.

    Now playing

    They don’t last long enough to break that part usually

    that is a dillemma car. as it sit it will either need a lot of stuff to return to regular use. sitting is bad thing for cars, especially carbureted cars. Most of the seals likely will need replaced as well. Brakes, tires, all that jazz, but with the miles on it currently it is worth much more and would be fine in say…

    I would guess that the speed of a newer car would get Lincoln. If someone were there to explain it to Isaac he would probably be fine with them.

    Seems odd they would do away with the identifying wheel arch though. Not that this car excites that many Stateside, but it still might bridge the Boomer/Zoomer gap in Italy.

    I always thought SXSW was a music festival? when did it become a lecture event?

    I have had 3 friends of mine wind up working at Stealerships in the past, in all 3 situations I have gone to them to potentially buy a car. Two I did, and I have to tell you that these guys are taught the sleeze. Chrysler guy did not disclose previous damage(he was not aware until I showed him the respray and gouges…

    How do you know this? do you work there, or worse yet, are you the dealer?

    I believe I would have probably used the POR 15 3 step process on those. Not sure if the degrease and metal prep would not have worked just as well? I probably would have tried to gold plate these parts like we did in grade school with a penny and then failed due tot material composition. lol
