It would probably be too much work to make safe, so I probably wont do anything. but its fun to think about.

I heard a commercial the other day about there being 5 seasons... Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Deere Season. It launched into a commercial trying to sell me various John Deere farm/garden tools. Then this morning, a friend of mine sent me the favored car of Farm Community Guidos: The IROC John Deere Edition http://desmoines.craigslist.org/car/638858985.html  EDIT: Grrr.. fixed table breakage...

Minus the loving scissor doors (which are just seriously WTF), slight changes to the hues of green and yellow, and it WOULD be a John Deere IROC, and that WOULD be awesome. But no, just another piece of tasteless (and not in a good way) trash.

I've also spent a good 5 minutes attempting to imagine what that gauge could possibly be, and I've yet to come up with anything. I also see some pedals, a steering wheel, and then what the hell is the funky looking thing with all the valves and such?

I'm sure someone has a mint one socked away in a barn. That one, however, looks to be in perfect shape for adressing your acute projectitis. A newer, strong running 600cc or 750cc motorcycle engine can be sourced for just a couple hundred dollars (especially if it's an aircooled one). It's a kei car, so is tiny, and ridiculously light - the brakes and suspension are understandably ... designed on a budget. As to rarity: quote:According to one source, a total of 40,586 sedans and coupes were sold in the US for the 1970 thru 1972 model years, with the majority being sedans. Totals from the HONDA FACT BOOK state that there were 35000 Honda AN600 Sedans and 15500 AZ600 Coupes sold in the USA. Regardless of the exact number sold, very few have survived. Although the actual number of survivors is unknown, best estimates are fewer than 1000, probably more like 300 or so are in operating condition today. Bill Colford has done research on production numbers, and his conclusion is:"How many USA survivors are out there, I would have to say 600 or so Sedans and Coupes combined and maybe 300 of these are running. However, more are being restored as we speak." Get it, and chuck in a newer bike engine.... Dooooo ittttt.....

Even with taxes and all that it seems like you wouldn't pay more (or much more of there are other hidden charges) than that to get a brand new one. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/mcy/661401798.html  *edit* wtf here's one with 300 miles listed at $5000: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/mcy/661630454.html Is it hard to get one from the dealer at MSRP or something?

They're the hot new bikes and they're so cheap compared to other start bikes that dealers aren't having any problems selling them for 4.5-5k out the door. The last shipment that came in to one of the dealership in the bay area had 13 bikes and none of them ever saw the floor.

The last shipment that came in to one of the dealership in the bay area had 13 bikes and none of them ever saw the floor. You'd think that might actually prompt the other bike marques to import their mature lineup of starter bikes, rather than just sticking with the tired old models that have been around for ages. Some are worse than others, of course (Yamaha  ). The market for beginner bikes is only going to grow as gas prices creep up, so hopefully we'll see a few more examples in the vein of the new 250 Ninja.I saw the same thing up here with CBR125Rs - people were trying to get anywhere up to $4500CAD for them (used). It's died down a little, but there still aren't any 2007 models on CL within this province for under $2800.

Because it's not something easy, it's something expensive and they know it. They just don't want you to know it. If it really was something easy they would have fixed it, guaranteed. In this case "just needs freon" probably means "needs a new compressor" or something else equally expensive.

That's an awfully steep price for something that even if properly restored, won't ever be a terribly cool/valuable car. All the weather stripping will be cracked/crumbling/nonexistant, and even if the drivetrain is in serviceable order, you will have trouble overtaking the Amish on rural roads. For $500? Sure.
