I’ll gladly accept your three generations of Viper if you’ll accept my ten generations of Mustang (1964-66, 1967-68, 1969-70, 1971-73, 1974-78, 1979-93, 1994-97, 1998-2004, 2005-2014, 2015-now).  My criterion for defining a generation is if the doors will interchange, though I know the first two gens will.

I wasn’t talking about the Nicolas Cage movie; this was the 1974 low budget (except for all those cars) release.  

I am tempted to nominate the first “Gone in 60 Seconds” (the 1974 version, though the Nicolas Cage remake wasn’t any better). There is a rumor that the last half of the film—where "Eleanor," the 1971-turned-1973 yellow Mustang (pretty much the subject of the film) is in a chase that destroys over 100 cars—was planned,…

That reminds me of when you told about the Mustang Cobra owner who was told (and he believed it) to “clean out” his engine by draining his oil and replacing it with water from his garden hose.  With similar results.

You can tell where a car (post-1988 or so) was made, or at least final-assembled, simply from the first character of the VIN. (Numbers indicate the Americas and IIRC Australia, letters indicate Europe or Asia, and the individual number or letter corresponds to a specific country.)

I voted ND, but am having second thoughts.  You could probably send this to the nearest Mecum or Barrett-Jackson and get at least this much for it--even after seller’s premium.

1984 Nissan 300ZX. What was the point, to get half the headlight and foglight dirty?

I have the feeling it will be cancelled anyway. If the airports are shut down (or used for military operations only) and other countries announce financial sanctions against Russia (as the UK has already done), by September it may become impossible for the race to go on.

The first thing that came to my mind: the Consulier GTP.  Most kit cars don’t look this bad.  

Yeah, how did he manage to put 226,000 miles on it and not use the back seat?

$30,000 for a nice Ford Excursion isn’t bad, but that means...you have to drive a Ford Excursion.  Thanks anyway, but this won’t fit in too many people’s garages or lifestyles.  

I think it’s nicely done, but not $39,000 nicely done.  But it comes close.

I’m surprised that this is doing better than the Charlie’s Angels Mustang II. At least that was original. ND at any price on this, except perhaps as a parts car if I needed one.

I remember reading a story in Automobile Magazine (another blast from the past) in 1993; the Corvette was celebrating its 40th anniversary the same year that Hot Wheels was celebrating its 25th. As a joint-marketing “celebration”, Hot Wheels introduced a special Corvette toy, manufactured in a run of 100,000—and one…

I always thought the Chevrolet hatchback tent (available on early 1970s Novas and Vegas) was pretty cool.

I take it Danica Patrick is excluded because a.) she retired, and/or b.) she never drove in the Busch series?  

I would be more inclined (but not actually inclined to pay that much) to pay more for a stock 1985 Cadillac Eldorado. I actually feel sorry for that car, if it is possible to feel sorry for a mechanical object. Its one redeeming factor: some of that “personalization” looks like it could potentially be undone with…

If the battery has recently been replaced (or the car is priced at the point where battery replacement is factored in).

Mr. Emslie is right: this is a nice car for the money. But the $12,950 is likely a down payment for all the expensive problems this car is likely to have. Even if this car doesn’t have the aftermarket maker’s engine “upgrades,” owning an old Mercedes-Benz S-class is likely to be somewhat unnerving.

Replacing the rearmost spark plugs on my 2004 Mazda 6 3.0 required removing the intake manifold. But even worse was when a radiator intake cracked; it required removing the entire front fascia to replace it.
