73 RS replica with 3.6L


I have been to Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix. They build gorgeous RS and RSR replicas with 3.6L/6 speed drivetrains from 993s. This car's engine bay was too dirty to be Patrick's handiwork (he likes to powdercoat everything), and in fact they refer to the swap having used a Patrick "kit." So it's not worth $30k, according to eBay but I'd say it's worth $24k all day long.

NO SALE at $4500


Looking at the list of goodies this eurotrash Ford was probably value priced at $4500. I guess nobody wants to be seen in it, especially with those two wings and that wacky C -pillar that cuts a line thru the rear quarter windows (the same car in Europe didn't have such an ugly window).

I'm not the HUMMER type


But this looks great for the money, and I think that it would be a lot of fun to run one on biodiesel with graphics that are very blatant about "No war for Oil", etc.

If you see one of these cheap, nab it. The last one I wrote up went for $10K!

I am going to be introuble when these really do start selling in the low $40s

I do wonder if these early, 6cyl DB7s are more or less reliable than the 2000+ Maserati Spyder (which is also gorgeous). If they bottom out in the mid $40s, I could easily see them rise up again just as the Vantage V8s have done (100% appreciation in 5 years?).

C'mon Josh, you're from Orange County....

No Way


Josh sent me a rotary-powered Toyota Starlet last month, and I thought it was a fluke. This is a movement. Just like rotary Lotus 7 replicas are called "Rotus", I think this cross-dressing-sleeper-econobox category needs a name: HARLET.

"THIS IS A 1964 RARE BUICK SKYLARD WAGON"

I REALLY wanted my mom to get one of these in 1980 something

Instead we ended up with a Plymouth Voyager.
Anyway, This is Jerry Lewis' 280ZX. I suppose that doubled the value?

10 years ago this was a $1200 truck

"1966 Gillig school bus only used as a biology lab"


Who can explain this to me? Is this not "Intelligent Design's" Rolling Incubator? Must have been in Berkeley someplace.

Who knew Pontiac even made the 6000 with AWD?

Ford GT Prototype: Probably better to sell at Barrett-Jackson

I know, I know :It's too far from Ohio.
