My favourite for these were first generation Chrysler Lasers.  At a quick glance, they looked enough like the smaller Plymouth Turismo that you could easily look past the Lasers (which were actually fairly decent little sporty hatchbacks)

Nice car, nice shape ... but it’s still a tarted up Camry, and no Camry is worth $12K.  ND.

If you need a parts donor for yours, this is $800 worth of parts.  Beyond that it’s scrap metal.  

This is a rare case of “buy it and DD it”. I don’t know that this edition of the Camry is particularly notable, even though it is fairly rare (the All-Trac wasn’t made in large numbers).

ND ... hard ND.

For those of us old enough to remember the original Z cars in person, the 350/370Z lacked a key attribute that made the originals appealing: Style.

4 wheeled death trap ... but a symbol of an era.

*Yawn* That legend has been around almost as long as I have, and its veracity remains suspect.

If I was Tesla, I’d be investigating fireproof underwear ... because when the Feds get ahold of the details of this investigation, I don’t think the Biden administration is going to be as willing to turn a blind eye to some of Tesla’s sketchier practices the way the predecessor administration was. 

Two of my favourite interiors come out of the early 70s. In particular the 1st gen Celica, and the original 240Z

Here’s a solution - and it will even give you 6 cylinders to work with:

This is Jalopnik, not Garage 54 ... (although they’d probably weld half a dozen B&S motors together to make a replacement “6 cylinder” just to see if they could)

4th Gear:

This looks like a Rampage suffering from roid rage ... but that’s just me... 

4th Gen Toyota Celica

1st Gear:

It’s got a ridiculously short wheelbase, of course the ride quality is going to be choppy as hell. These things are like driving first gen Honda Civics in that regard.  The transmissions on the ones I drove shifted smoothly enough, and the engine was certainly adequate if not particularly lively. (Suzuki’s car engines…

If this was the Jeep you bought to do an EV conversion on, why on earth are you trying to get the engine running?

Nice specimen, but that price! ... ND
