This is a ND abomination. I think it’s cool to see so many Figs still roaming the streets of Tokyo, even now. They bring a smile to my face. But this thing is adulterated crap at any price and I’d be way too ashamed to drive it in any country. Meanwhile, it’s in Seattle....push it over the cliff above Richmond beach…

These are stoutly made boats, meaning heavy layup of fiberglass and good tabbing at bulkhead areas so it can hit waves hard as she moves fast out to the fishing grounds. It all depends on condition with a professional survey. Engine hours and maintenance records tell a lot. So do oil analysis. A quick search came up…

my very own well cared for 35 foot sailing sloop with full surround canvas/vinyl windows enclosure for inclement weather. One tank of diesel lasts all summer. Added bladders on deck would get us further afield. Heater runs on the diesel. Stove and BBQ sip propane. Refrigeration runs off of large bank of gel cell…

I’d like to see a pic of the aft.

Voted ND simply because it’s a slow car that needs some fixin’.

I had the T-bird version as a business car back then and enjoyed it. Good around town traffic as a cruiser, and even better on the highway. I imagine this one would even up the ante, but making it a collector car then and now is so absurd it deserves a chapter somewhere in an update to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the…

waste of article publishing space, too

That was my first thought.  The shear irresponsibility.  I have a boat and am on the water a lot in WA state and see plenty of kids in life jackets here.  IT’s mandatory on my boat.  The first 5+ minutes into the video not one kid has one on, never mind the adults and every captain can see the conditions.  Are these…

I grew up with these - mostly higher output Mercury Marquis, though. With this engine and the condition, with work needed to make it to a presentable cars for coffee condition, it’s a ND for me by at least couple grand. And I have wagons of this vintage on my radar.

Seller needs to wise up quick and seek out the exact opposite of a qualified Lotus Builder.  He needs a schmuck with cash in hand. No wonder there’s so many unfinished projects in that garage.  Looks to me like mismanagement is the watchword.

I’d rather put the same kind of dosh toward an early boxster than this.  At $12k I’d give it some consideration.

Why did I hit NP on this one? ‘Cause theoretically I could drive down from Jet City to grab it for maybe $4,500. I used to drive one frequently in the 70s. I was a stupendous car then. I owned a ‘87 560SL in the 90s. Honestly, I would remove that quad intake eyesore for something more tame and rework the hood. The…

Just responding to those querying the logic of spending $17k restoring this particular car. I noticed the seller is hailing from Trousdale Estate area of Bev Hills. Only multi-million $ homes there (you can see the view of downtown L.A. from up high in the background of a pic). More money than sense as opposed to…

“r” raignment for fraud. another scoundrel seeking grievous advantage in an unwarranted manner.....or some such thing. hang ‘em high!  

low IQ - low self esteem - mostly low everything.

agreed. Nice Price should at least be a handful of bucks better than mean market price.

don’t forget the chip tune.

O Solo Mio! Not. ND today, tomorrow and the next dio.

This Mister deserves an artful vinyl wrap. The wheels are handsome, too. So, clean ‘em and leave ‘em.

I know what I have and I know I’ll ask a reasonable price b/c that’s just the kind of reasonable SoCal guy I am.  Yes, hard to believe.  We do exist in the wild.  Even in the ‘tween twixt LA LA and OC.
