Yes!! I was looking for this one, too, but I couldn't remember who made it.

This. The 3-speed gearbox, the well-scaled ladder frame and solid front and rear axles (unlike the current range of Tamiya high-riders). Pure awesome. And have you seen what they trade for these days?!?!?!?
Once in a very great while, a dealer-built special is genuinely collectible. But this car is no Yenko.
It was. And somehow I knew it was when I saw the headline about a Toyota crashing into an "$80,000 sports car" at a Birmingham dealership. Why couldn't it have crashed into a Panamera over at Lavery?
In hindsight I realize now it was fairly odd that, as a car-obsessed teenager, I never really had any car posters on my walls. However, at 14 years old, I cropped the 928 half out of this ad and had the remaining half blown up to make a pretty nice poster of the 911 Turbo's rear end. And again, with the benefit of…
I used to play F1 '96 or '97 on my Playstation as Olivier Panis every time, just so I could hear Murray Walker's shouting about "Panis" over and over again.
He may not be "giant," but he's still a pretty large Czech.
It may not have done much for AMC's fortunes, but the concept was more than sound. It was not the first time that AMC's ideas were ahead of their time.
I will cheerfully admit that I have lusted after the X1/9, the TR7, and the Fuego. Hell, I still lust after the Fuego and the X1/9, even though I am much older (but apparently none the wiser). The TR7? Not so much—but the TR8 for sure.
Yep, I've had a number of them (although fewer than I'd like, since the offerings here in the U.S. have always been scant and have been non-existent since the early '90s).
Heresy! The only bad French car is a bland French car. A few commenters have zeroed in on the blandest French cars, but you guys picking on the weird ones are missing the point.
There are others that came before the Saab 99/900 (Olds Jetfire, Corvair, 911), and many that came after and made far more power, but Saab (and to a slightly lesser extent, Volvo) built the truly iconic turbo cars—smallish displacement, glacial lag (at least in the earlier cars), and prominent "turbo" badging and…
As much as it pains me to vote CP on any RWD Volvo wagon, this Amazon simply isn't nearly nice enough to pull the kind of money he's asking. Relatively speaking, there are plenty of nice-but-imperfect 122s out there in the $2K-5K range, so this car's priced at about double the market (and deduct for those awful…
