I have an SHO experience. Some ages ago, I used to commute daily into Silicon Valley. When I-680 was completely bollixed up with traffic, I would frequently take Calaveras Road as an alternate route. It was 18 miles of uninterrupted hairpin curves, gorgeous views, and (important to this story) only one lane wide for…

Who here remembers SHOnuff the SHOgun of Harlem?

Knock $3400 off the price, and I’d drive it home today! At this price, CP. Sorry.

I too have a weakness for boxy quick Volvos. Something went out of the world when they decided to make pretty cars. Besides, I got 375,000 miles out of my last 245 wagon—still ran great when I sold it (falling apart everywhere but drivetrain, but I’d been using it as a construction truck on some pretty terrible dirt…

I’m voting Northern Places with one caveat: I really, really do not like shaved door handles! Otherwise, this’d be fun!

Truth be told, he’s about $2k too high, even for dealer price, at least according to KBB and using a Denver area zip code. He’s dead on the money according to the Hagerty valuation tool, but those tend to run very high, and that's only if you grant him "Excellent" condition.

To be honest, if always found them kinda beautiful.

I tried to look up comparable cars for sale to compare the price. When I searched Los Angeles Craigslist, I got 51 results: 51 ads offering “Cash for junk cars!”

Oddly, a friend who bought a salvage title car in NJ, moved to MI for anda job registered it there, then moved to CA and registered it there, then moved to CO and registered it, was given a clean title for some reason.

OK, for those of you in the This Isn’t A Real Porsche vs. It Says Porsche On The Hood arguments: This is a vehicle with AWD, pothole and driveway friendly ground clearance, comfortable seating for 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 small-ish kids, a higher than average seating position, and decent-ish cargo space. In other…

You win the day

Built to be a dragster, but never dragged. Converted into a street car, that you can just barely drive on the street without causing fatalities. I love a car that combines the best of both worlds - street+race. Paul Newman’s Porsche-powered Bug was a great example! This appears to combine the worst of both, full of…

I do love this series, and especially the baseball glove seats! NP all weekend long.

OK, before automatically hitting the CP button, I looked up the prices. Well, for concourse (which this car really isn’t), he’s a little more than 10K too high. You know, these cars may well have been unloved for a reason.

From the Haggerty online pricing site for the ‘77 Mustang II:

My mechanic loaned me one of these for a week while he was diagnosing some bizarre electronic difficulties in my car. It was indeed quick and fun. I decided for that week to try an experiment and see if driving an E55 AMG automatically makes a person drive like a jerk. I won’t share the results of my little study.

Thank you. Now I have something else on my list of things I desperately want and am unlikely to obtain. 

Let’s see, 28 year old car with 28 year old handling and safety technology? Check. Price more than a thousand above original MSRP? Check. Special model of an otherwise nondescript car with extremely limited (if any) collector appeal? Check! Crack Pipe Trifecta!

Actually an appealing truck at about 8K less. I’d love it, but Id probably clean out and organize the bed....

It can get damn cold in the pop-top tent of a Westfalia camper. I can only imagine this would be even colder. Bring a Very Heavy sleeping bag.

I’ve been thinking about this one. Some years ago, I put my copies of _The Monkey Wrench Gang_ by Edward Abbey on Amazon for sale. I had a decent condition 1st edition hardcover I asked $2500 for and a Tenth Anniversary illustrated hardback (with signed illustrations by R. Crumb), that I asked $450 for. I chose those…
