This thread needs more French cars. Like the Renault Alpine A610.

Maybe I missed it, but can it be that nobody has mentioned the 2000GT yet?

Yeah, but Kilmer's on the road to recovery—he's a lock for any studio that needs a stand-in for Jeff Bridges.

This. Also, the Morgan.

This. Also, the Honda S500.

I'm not even sure that a fully original example could pull $40K. The '79-'81 had, as you noted, the worst front-end styling of the second-gen run, coupled with pathetically weak engines. By going the non-original route, it's not really a collectible, but at least by being a non-numbers matching car, somebody might…

So, Cannonball Run was a "cinematic turd," was it? Son, I am disappoint.

If we're talking about *any* engine, then I'm going with a radial-engined WWII fighter. If we have to stick to semi-automotive applications, then I'm going with this. 147 liters. 42 cylinders. 10,000 hp.

2nd gear is lifted word-for-word from the Autocar article. So why is only a partial sentence in quotation marks?

If you look at the larger pics linked to the ad, it is obvious that there is bondo in the front valence (it's cracking and falling off). Also, the seller wet the car down for the pics, but in the larger pics you can see some areas where it is drying and the quality of the paint/prep/bodywork is not good. I would bet…

Let's see if I can do the math on this one...

Edit: FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Nibbles.

Zing!

Now ain't that some shit?

I, too, understand where you're coming from. I raced before my kids were born (and actually for the first year or two after my oldest was born), but I probably won't do it again until they're older. When there was nobody depending on me but me, it was one thing. But I'm not going to leave my kids high and dry if I…

Hey, I'm just saying that if you're basing the quality of the "deal" you got on a used-car dealer showing you some piece of paper purporting to document what they paid for the car, then I think your confidence is misplaced.

Used cars have neither an MSRP (being that it stands for *manufacturer's* suggested retail price) nor an invoice. I guess the dealer could show you a copy of the check that they wrote for the car, but that doesn't mean that's what they paid for it—especially if it is a lease or loan payoff, in which case the previous…

I see where you're coming from, but I've never encountered a car that needed *only* bushings due to hooning or accident damage. I think you're more likely to see new bushings in conjunction with new control arms/tie rods/subframe (and possibly suspension mounting points that look "worked on") if the car has been…

Suspension bushings are a good thing to look at if you know what you're looking for, but new bushings are just as likely to mean an owner who actually maintains the car properly, rather than someone who hoons it.
