Been in contact with the fellow. It's in "OK" shape but not worth anywhere near $3900. I don't think it's worth $2K.

I have an unhealthy obsession with motorcycles.

Proof

I love my CB750 K7.
$500ish is a pretty good deal here in VA.

There seem to be an abundance of these out west but not quite as many on the east cost. :(

It makes perfect sense?

edit to let me be less obtuse: He has the main car for 600 bucks. If you want the sedan too, that's 1000. If you want to just buy the sedan, 450.

so 1 car is 600, the other is 450, you want both , KNOCK 50 MOTHERFUCKERS OFF THAT poo poo NIGGA IT'S $1K.

edit again: Didn't notice the $900. That fucker just crazy.

btw would anyone be interested in a possibly free e30?

Yeah; there were a fair number of them when new. Converting a gas-designed motor to diesel isn't as easy as the GM marketeers assumed it would be.

The only one of those I've seen around these parts (South Jersey/Philadelphia) was a little old lady car with less than 20K on it.

It's not that it's particularly difficult, the block has to be stronger, the problem comes in when you do a bad job at it.

The 6.9 and 7.3 Powerstroke is an IH MV446 gasoline v8 converted to diesel, and it's widely regarded as a good diesel engine. IH actually went through the trouble to ensure reliable performance in real-world applications, and there are some significant changes to the engine.

These are very rare and cool, there is also an even better version with a front end that draws from classic european sports cars like the 250 GTO etc.

Honestly I don't get why that isn't an option for the Miata normally, it'd help them lose the girly car association big time. I'd actually love a Miata coupe on some nice wheels and stuff, especially if it had the NA front end.

Put a rotary in that, and it'd be an EXCELLENT modern re-imagining of the original Cosmo 110S. gently caress what a car that'd be. That would have been 1000 times cooler than that drat RX8 we ended up with.

When I first saw that just now, I really liked the shape of the rear side glass and fender. My first thought was, it would look better with a gaping front inlet nose. Now you mention there is one!
I'm an old school rotor fan, don't like the rx8 one bit. A rotary in an MX5 hardtop would be awesome. Now idea why mazda don't take the hint, especially since Bullet went there about a decade ago.

If I ever have a load of money, once one of those MX-5s is 15 years old so I can bring it into Canada I'll have to import one, shove a reasonably modified N/A 13B in there, and make it into some kind of cool modern tribute to the RX-3 or something.

AGGH, WHY MUST YOU POST STUFF LIKE THIS, DAMNIT :argh:

Despite my already having 4 cars here (that I really don't have space for), an '89 XJS V12 came up on my local CL a few months back for $900 running. I think I posted it here, actually. If that guy had ever emailed me back, I probably would have ended up with it, along with all of the headaches and financial ruin that only a 20+ year old V12 Jaguar can deliver. And, I would have been adding yet another horribly impractical / useless 2 door coupe to the mix. :suicide: My thought process on buying real cars is like a drat 7 year old picking out Matchbox cars at Toys R Us. :sigh:

I think I'm safe here, since that car is like 2,000+ miles from me. Seeing stuff like this just makes me want to hit up the CL-within-100-miles-because-that's-as-far as-AAA-goes ads and go looking again though. My CL always seems to turn up at least a couple gems.

Fake edit: Like this one. Oh god, it's beautiful and already has a swap done, holyfuck, goddamnit this is why I don't do this anymore, gently caress
