Come on, people! That is clean as a whistle and cute as a bug’s ear. So what if it’s a third of the horsepower to which I have become accustomed (and far less than most of you would ever tolerate). But that fuel economy! That sweet frsh Spring-like color!

I test drove one of these once it was an AP1. I had huge expectations because from everything I read it was exactly the kind of car I like, small, light, agile and quick. I have to say I was a little disappointed, but I don’t think it was a bad sports car at all, it was just like going to a movie after everybody and…

It’s amazing to think that Tahoe — the lake — has been sitting there the entire time that we’ve all been evolving from tree-living poop-flingers to our current state of upright walkers and social media followers.

I own a (heavily modified) 1986 spider and am doing a bare shell restoration on a 67 Giulia (same basic chassis). The price is probably market, but the car probably only makes sense for someone looking to do some heavy modifications or doesn’t mind a rough looking car if the rust situation is as described (may not be).

It’s a 1985 car - it’s coming up on 40 years old, it’s not a rust bucket, and it (apparently) is in decent running shape.

In many states, you can avoid having a branded title if you’re the owner when the car gets totaled and you buy the car back from the insurance company. In that case, the history report (CarFax, AutoCheck) may show an event, but no updated title gets issued. In those states, the owner is often supposed to surrender the…

Wish it was 4wd, hope at the least it has a limited slip rear end. Reality is, of course, that if it was 4wd, price would go up precipitously.

So, about the place where you throw peanut shells on the floor. 10 year ago, that became a thing where I lived. It was fun.. until the drunks tried throwing the shells down girls shirts or whatever and waitresses started complaining about slipping on the mess and the like. These places rapidly went from “fun place do…

There are certain old cars that, when you see them, are almost always some level of fright pig. People long ago stopped caring enough to keep them nice. And then one like this reminds you that even those cars were once shiny and fresh, with a proud owner. It’s jarring and kind of fun to see. But it’s not $14K fun.

I had a more pedestrian G6 as a rental at the time they were new, and I was astonished at how good it was. The interior wasn’t the best, certainly not near the level of the Mazda3 I had at the time, but it drove very well and ended up being one of my favourite rentals for work. Same thing with a big engine? For less…

As long as it runs well, has no warning lights, and the heater works, this would be a hell of a winter beater. NP knowing that if anything goes wrong, it’s going to total it. 

That looks like a car I could design and build.

ND - un-register-able, homely and a replacement parts nightmare. Insuring it might be an adventure too,

I’m leaning towards NP because it is an uncommon and interesting car that moves under its own power, but I have no idea what it will be worth after you’ve poured thousands of dollars into completing it. I’d love to see what someone with the time and money to bring it up to snuff could do with it though!

If youre just looking for a mall crawler, the newest Jeep is always the best Jeep so this isnt for you. If youre looking to offroad, something fully depreciated and worn is what youre looking for. Who is this for?

There were no quattro Audis with automatic transmissions in 1988 or any other 5000 model year. Any automatic Audi of that time would have been fwd. The first quattro automatic was the V8Q in 1990. There were no I5 Turbo powered Audis in the US with quattro and an automatic gearbox. Also the 016 manual found in the…

Maybe suicide doors might’ve brought out its Lincoln-ness .

Honey smells like bee spit.

Seems like a reasonable enough price for some V8 fun in this market. I wouldn’t daily it with California’s gas prices, but it would make a nice change of pace car to go along with a more economical commuter. Kudos to the seller for not giving the car the full douchebro makeover with blacked out lights and other tacky…
