...and with a half-dozen more, you could start a Shriner’s chapter:

Four more of these, and you could have a Jersey shore kiddie ride, as here:

A much tougher call than that ridiculous Rambler.

$9,000 for this? I think the $20,000 for yesterday’s Saab was a better deal—sure, you might be getting fleeced, but at least you’d be getting an interesting and fun car, and one whose styling isn’t so painfully dated.

It’s certainly tempting: There was nothing like a Saab then, and there certainly isn’t anything now. And to the best of my knowledge, these convertibles were well engineered and designed, compared with their freezing in bad weather, useless back seat and/or trunk contemporaries.

I’m surprised Richard Linklater (see

Imagine being a 75 year old guy, and someone’s giving you testosterone shots, having your chug Red Bull, and making you run 20 miles a day. That’s what imagine it’s like being the turbo-charged, chip-enhanced, 177k mile motor in this car. The car is badass for sure, but something’s gonna blow.

If I could, I’d grab a bag of bills and hop on a Greyhound right now to wherever this is. I had an ‘86, albeit the standard 81 (?) hp, not the HF, and it was fun no matter how miserable the drive, and beautifully put together. I look up CRXs on ebay, etc, and I can tell you that example like this one—first generation,…

Generally, I’m not a big fan of these big SUV rigs, but this one is the real deal, built to take abuse. And with the described engine work, it looks like the vehicle still has some life in it, mechanically speaking.

At first look, with the price, I going to vote “meth pipe,” but CP will do.

From what I’m reading here, the clutch replacement for this car isn’t neurosurgery. And clutch woes are a risk for used cars newer, less traveled, and pricier than this one. I might be more concerned about the awd innards and how hard they are to fix if they blow (obviously I know nothing about these mechanicals).…
