More cars should have external exhaust tubes, but IIRC on cords only the supercharged ones had them so that's pretty lame for 70 grand. slidebite posted:They had a reserve over $70k? Thats nuts.

slidebite posted:From the same BJ auction as Wayne Newtons' Mercedes.  All that, and that's the best they could do for the AC and audio? No hidden stereo, of custom underdash AC? Also, I'm disappointed at the steering wheel and boring-rear end standard GM column shift. The real 810/812 had a rather interesting gear selector:   Better steering wheel, too. I wonder if they used a Toronado/Eldorado transaxle so it's actually FWD?

Oh no! I'm not an aesthetics person but when you see a project built just to look a certain way have some stuff shoehorned in it sticks out like a sore thumb. Even just doing some kind of faceplate to match the rest of the dash over the woodgrain and maybe a flap or something for the stereo would be a huge improvement.

An engine turned panel to match the gauge panel would go a long way.

I dunno, the floor mounted brights switch has a certain appeal. If you ever find yourself driving through northern Indiana take the time to visit the museum. It's quite incredible. They don't make dealerships like those anymore.

If it's a Ship of Thesus type situation then what's the point of buying the rusted out body in the first place? Just for the title/VIN?

I mean, the F40 was bad, but the real travesty GMG did was what they did to that Scout. I wanna buy that thing just so I can lift it again.

Just bought a beater 80's s10, but looking at craigslist today, I see a glimpse of what could have been. 'running when parked 40 years ago.'    or maybe... "Full custom denim interior"

Last I heard someone was going to undo the F40. Another one that stuck with me was the 68 Vette that had the factory 427 turned into a Hot Wheels car.

We don't have titles here, the auction hoose lists whether a car has been registered here before which is all you need, and it shows a key in the pictures. I'm going to guess it still goes for a bunch of dollars My big limitation is that the auction requires it be towed to a Calgary address by their contractor, and i don't live in Calgary. Well, that and being broke as gently caress

NitroSpazzz posted:Time to post this again I see. Full restoration of a Ferrari F40 LM after it sat in a damp barn for eight years. This is only a “restoration” because it’s an F40. If it was nearly any other car that would be a (very) thorough detailing. The thing is dirty and was used a bit, it doesn’t need a loving “restoration.”

Facebook Marketplace needs to very very prominently indicate “dealers” (like, allow you to filter them out, as on Craigslist,) and forbid listing the “$$ down” as the goddamned price. Of course, until they fix the “feature” that sometimes won’t let listers enter the actual price, it’s sort of a moot point.

Sponsored listings mean you don't get to filter things. If you can filter out anything sponsored (aka dealers) then that's less money for them.
