Of course, this one isn't perfect by any means, but it would be tempting to just put it in storage for like 15 years (especially if it's a real Si):



That car is nowhere near pristine enough to be worth the hassle of storing well for 15 years. Might be worth 5-6k in future dollars if it was kept in exactly the same shape.

Oh, I know. It's just funny to see $1,200 down and financing for a ~$2,000 car (and the ad never specifies an actual total price :suicide:). I mean, for something worth like $10,000 sure, I can see some kind of financing, but a downpayment that's roughly more than half the value AND a payment plan that ENDS WHEN I SAY IT ENDS BITCH? Seriously?

He's a retiree living in a metro area of ~125,000 people. I'd imagine if he is serious about selling the car this is just another free ad to get the car out there. I'm assuming if he is actively trying to sell it, he has it listed with some classic car specialty places, too.

I was just surprised to see something like this in my local area, and the guy lives so close to me.

Not Craigslist but this ad has been in Auto Weekly magazine for the last few months at the same OMG CLASSIC WOODY AMERICANA!!!1!! price. Karpower doesn't go to 88, but here's the fair market value of the next year newer with side by side comparison, he's only wanting about 24k over its actual value. Only 58k miles which means everything has been magically frozen in time for the last 21 years!

Over $50,000 was spent over the years to create this incredible piece of rolling mechanical art.

We tried to capture the beauty of this truck but until you see it in person...you won't be able to appreciate just how spectacular it is.

And the frosting will be when you actually slip behind the wheel and experience the 503HP at the rear wheels. This is one very fast truck!

We are offering this incredible truck for about the cost of what it would cost you today to paint the truck and have the murals done.

I guess 50k doesn't buy taste...I don't get the bee theme either

Minus the weird poo poo on the tailgate and tonneau cover, I'd drive that wearing my best 80s outfit (meaning I'd go buy an 80s outfit because I was 3 when that truck was made).
It's so terrible it's awesome. (minus the strange girl and random bees)

edit: How is the procharger connected? It appears to be totally disconnected from the intake tract.

I like that while his truck has 503hp and "stops like a new Corvette", it didn't occur to him to swap out the low-backed utility seats for something sportier, or even just seats with headrests.

I don't think it's too out of line. FAHV HUNNERT hp from the supercharger, 3hp from an aftermarket filter (it says so right on the box!), and there you go, 503 horsepower.

I think bee on the back is hilarious. The girl, however, scares me right proper.
