I threw it a NP. For $3500 it’s a manual wagon with 72k miles. If I needed a cheap runabout I’d buy it, which is the bar for $3500.

I think if you want to do another slideshow, maybe a series of Craigslist finds.

I’ll give you some insight from someone who sold Fords for 23 years (I started in 1997 at 20yrs old to Jan 31 2020 when I left due to severe Crohn’s Disease). I’m met Hau Tai-Tang. He’s a brilliant engineer and a true car guy (met him when he was the lead on the S197 Mustang in 2006 in Carlisle). He truly knows his…

I think we’re struggling to adapt to the rapid changes occurring in our economy.

The last story my dad told me reminds me of this story.

Meh. I’d rather have this Power Wagon.

These are fairly reliable at this point.  Yes, the two seats does cut down on the buyers but if your a single guy or married, no kids, this is perfect.  My issue is it’s not a 4x4.  At this price point, I would want all 4 wheels to be driven.  It’s a No Dice vote for me.

Why not both?

This looks like something Batman would drive if Bruce Wayne was a semi-employed house painter 

At this price point and with a model this rare, the mileage is much less important than condition and originality. Freshly serviced, in driving condition, and supplied with stock wheels/exhaust gives this one an edge. The fully ‘80s color combo helps, too. I would place it above a car with 20K miles that’s been…

My guess is she never really wanted this, he just wanted an excuse to build his ideal Jeep.

FYI;

For those not familiar with “Le Monstre”

SSpidey SSense tingling here... Massachusetts plates, being sold in CA. If that intake is CARB legal, why isnt it smogged? Ugly-ass taillights and other vapebro “mods” with the high possibility of rust problems...

Since we are turning this into Boatlopnik, I will point out that ownership for those who ply salt water is vastly different than fresh water. Outside of a few major brands (and high end yachts), boat manufacturing and quality control is in the same place as say the Italian auto industry in the 60s.

Is a broat anything like a brodozer? Something to compensate for other shortcomings? Something like this?

You haven’t seen mine, I’m the lone 39 year old gainfully employed, married with 2 wonderful kids original and long-time owner of a 2005 wrx wagon who’s never smoked, vaped, or dipped (ever) much less in my car and kept it clean and maintained every step of it’s life. I just rarely drive it, have had daily drivers…

Once upon a time, I wanted a sports car. This was long before we knew the Wankel in the RX-8 liked to throw metal on the road.

It’s a 63, there are what, maybe 9 things that need wiring up? Rip all the spaghetti out and start again. 

In 2005, this thing was to upper middle class white people as the Tesla Model S is to Indian IT guys. If you had one of these, you were THE MAN at your local baptist Bible megachurch. If you had one for your wife to drive, you were THE FUCKING MAN (because you yourself probably had a dually F-350) at the local baptist…
