HotCanadianChick posted:I'd care less than it being a ~corvette~ engine an more what production code the engine is. I'd rather have something like a generic Vortec from a late 90's truck than some hunk of smog-pumped garbage from a late 70's C3. Its not the smog poo poo to worry about as that's all easily ripped off. Its the heads, cam, etc that I would have greater concern with. 1970s 350s were not known for breathing well, but can be worked over to make run, decently. But yeah, all swapped motors are Corvette motors according to craigslist.

Someone in New England needs a dentside. http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/4580371874.html (I know the seller, he's a few towns over, I've sold him Ford parts before and he has a few military trucks we've wrenched on. If I had any use for it and/or the money to buy it, I would.)

Why would anyone use a 1980s 305 intentionally? They're awful. Terrible power and nearly identical in work required to other, better SBCs.

I would use one if I was expecting to have to make custom brackets and poo poo for it and it was $free-$50. Get it in, working, don't worry at all about accidentally loving up a thread or damaging it in some way, then run it till it either pops due to abuse or I found a better SBC, which is now bolt-in.

http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4563783341.html Possible gold-it's a 1980 320i in the Midwest with what looks to be a straight body for $1500. "Needs fuel pump." I'd check it out if I wasn't tapped out from my latest Volvo purchase.

This seems like a good price for an AP2: http://portland.craigslist.org/nco/cto/4582651828.html Wheels, bra, possibly spoiler would have to go. I told myself I wouldn't buy an S2K until I had a garage, but man...

Nodoze posted:Yes, clean AP1 with lower miles can go for 15+ easily Holy crap! I too figured I would pick up an AP1 as beater when they dropped below $9k, guess that ain't happening. I suppose it makes sense, there is currently only one roadster on the market under $40k (miata), undoubtedly putting pressure on the used market.

animeliker posted:Most say it is boring, but white is my favourite colour, especially on a sports car. If you live in the desert, any other color is asking to scald yourself if you touch it in the afternoon, or have the clear coat peel if you park it outside. Counterintuitively, it's one of the easiest colors to keep looking clean, because dust doesn't mess with reflections off the surface as much, because reflections have very low contrast making it hard to notice. White is the most practical color.

dissss posted:I'd say that would be silver For most of the same reasons, except you're trading dirt being more noticeable from reflections for dirt being less noticeable for dinginess, and losing a little bit of the protection from sunlight. It does make the contours of the car more apparent, though.

Yeah I love those old 'burbans! So much room. I find myself wanting a vehicle with that much storage space as I get older and do more outdoorsy things, but with my 20+mpg and manual transmission requirements, it's basically impossible. That suburban is the next best thing.
