Big Tech will go to their default setting of having someone in India handle the situations.

I can appreciate the work that went into it but damn that’s ugly. 

Easy NP — the earlier prefacelift 4.2s are in this price range (which are also pretty solid but nowhere near as receptive to mods as the 3.0). This is a great deal unless there’s some crazy shit hiding somewhere. Low miles, manual, service records, I’m in. I’d probably be throwing the same CAI and (I’d guess) tune on…

That’s your non-Japanese upbringing not understanding Japanese culture.

“Those drivetrain components don’t fit the car as delivered by AC...”

That’s what I told friends in San Antonio when I was in the Air Force.

Sssh! Don’t tell them.

Are any of them leftover RC 8Cs that they’d be willing to offload for ten or fifteen bucks? Asking for a friend

Ok, I knew there were a lot of motorcycles on the lots, but a fucking quarter million motorcycles just sitting around???

Like others have said, good price once you determine it’s mechanically sound. These are hilarious good fun. Absolute crap interior wrapped around such a fun powertrain.

If you’re looking for an EVO this looks like a good deal, it would just have to pass a PPI.

A couple of notes. The Drive was not the first to report this. The poster of that reddit thread reached out to me directly hours before the Drive posted. :)

I’ll take this AIV, an Esperante, and a Qvale Mangusta, please.

This is all I can think of

Nah. Front-Wheel Drive doesn’t cut it. The first-gen was dynamically superior to that bustle-backed beast.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s a bad thing. This X-plus (GM actually re-classified it as a K-body) chassis was used for the Seville and the Pontiac Phoenix 4-doors of that era. it also was essentially the platform used for the second-gen Camaro and Firebird.

A car like this needs to be seen to be worthwhile, which means it needs to be in pristine condition, which this appears to be. You’re not dailying this, you’re driving it to C&C and the local meetups where you can talk about your grandfather’s Cadillac. 

If you weren’t alive back then, it may be hard to grasp what a thunderclap this design was at the time. Visually speaking, it was a bit like the arrival of the Taurus just a decade later. Of course, GM let the downsized B-bodies–especially the Caprice/Impala–steal the Seville’s thunder the very next year.

“NA cars are boring”

I’ve always considered myself a car guy, but even with an unlimited budget I’d have no desire to go this direction. If I wanted an expensive British car to give me moments of fun to go along with mountains of agony I’d buy a Morgan. Sure I’d still have headaches getting parts, but with the Morgan, carbon fiber grows…
