Mr Seinfeld,
Mr Seinfeld,
Hey, this car met reserve and sold on ebay in Dec 2013 for $26,388...the seller relisted it and it ended at $34,900 on Jan 10th...but now it looks like that sale wasn't final either... or the car is being flipped
Last summer on of those Volvo 480s appeared on ebay in the USA...not sure what happened to it, but it failed to get any bids at $9,500.
Personally, a stanced car isn't something I would do to a car, or drive around...but I'd rather a vintage BMW be scraping metal to the ground than to become scrap metal.
Big fan of Infiniti's 90s offerings, from the short lived Y32 generation J30 (rear drive BMW 5-series competitor, uber cheap today) and the even shorted lived Y34 generation M45. Both cars offer excellent alternative to the BMW 5-series, Merc E-Class and Audi A5 at a much better price-to-condition ratio.
Oh, I almost forgot about the ex-Sara Palin driven Ford Expedition. Giant head not included. You can see Russia if you stand on the roof.
US President Lyndon Baines Johnson wasn't just a proud Amphicar owner, he was also a prankster. LBJ would drive at high speeds down hills in his Texas ranch screaming to his terrified passengers that the brakes had failed. The Amphicar would splash into a small lake and LBJ would erupt into fits of laughter as his…
Ron Paul's green machine. Below are high res versions of the photos from the original jalopnik article. I emailed Ron Paul's website when the story first came out and they sent me some hi res versions, feel free to use them.
And then GM builds a low cost rear drive car under the Pontiac brand called Solstice and a better looking version under the Saturn brand called Sky...
The GT4 Stinger was created in under a year by a six-person team, who were at the unveiling all dressed up in the same carefully-dishevelled black suits in what was quite clearly some marketing PR guy's idea of what cool is. Really, though, the team could have been wearing miner's helmets and hot pants for all anyone…
Ian - huge fan of your work over the years, but I do have an important question. How in the blazes should a yank pronounce Jaguar? Jag-ooo-are? Shag-oo-ar? Jag-g-var? Tah-tah?
Gotta love it! Nice price too! Although, I have to admit that I like Nissan based Gen Lee clones for some odd reason...perhaps I have a problem.
From what I've seen searching for used examples it was easier to find a 100% stock R32 than a stock EVO or STi...so I'd say the toolbag factor is lower than some...and dubfest guys are usually more into washing their cars and lowering them than offroading or trashing the cars...but that is just my $0.02.
Great summary of the R32olf Patrick! The big thing to note on the first gen R32 is the resale value on these things is insane. They only dipped below $20k a few years ago and still command mid teens (that is a 10 year old car man!) - in stark contrast to any FWD golf that descends in value like a Slazenger 7 on the…
