Indeed. It’s based on the same platform at the 4th gen Supra and shares a ton of parts compatibility, including the engine, transmission, rear differential, suspension, brakes, bolt pattern and probably quite a few more things. Even the seats will swap around. It’s like comparing a Fox body Mustang to a Fox…

Heh.  That’s EXACTLY my reaction.  have a star

So a Land Rover Discovery??? I thought Ford and Land Rover parted ways?

Saw the cover photo and voted NP immediately. I don’t care if it runs, if its infested with rats, or if Osama Bin Laden owned it. That fucking thing is fucking gorgeous, and is worth every penny. 

Aside from emotional attachment to the 911 badge, why would anyone buy this instead of a used Boxster/Cayman?

I’d just pray the damn screen doesn’t die on me, especially when it controls everything. Lord knows they’d want an arm and a leg to fix/replace it.

Knobs forever! The fact that we’re replacing tactile features for something you can only control by looking at it while you click is not only annoying and unsafe, but completely unsatisfying. If I wanted to play on my tablet I would have stayed on the couch!

I mean...David...come on...You’ve done amazing things mechanically with these old, decrepit jeeps and you’re very mechanically inclined, but then you let water just freeze inside the block?

As much as I appreciate the quirkiness of the Pacer, $4k for 88hp with rust is at least twice what is reasonable.

I didn’t see Unimog in there, so I’m not buying it.

That’s like, ALL the cars.

So much this.   Really speaks to the character of the seller.   As always - buy the seller.

CP just for putting this at the end of the ad:

This is a highly desirable car in very nice shape. With that said, this price is way out of line.

Pros: They are not boats and can leave the water...

What this article doesn’t say is this is just one step in the development of air cushion vehicles (hovercraft) that are still in use today. It turns out though that small jeep size air cushion vehicles (also known as Ground Effect Machines or GEM) aren’t particularly useful. Wheeled or tracked vehicles are more…
