That 240SX is a totally awesome build with great parts, besides the loving awful suspension and cage.

The guy with a 240sx is local to me. He's a shining example of a car nut who enjoys wrenching on(and sinking money into) the projects more than driving them. It's overpriced, but solid. He put it up for sale when it had an auto trans and got a ton of hate mail. Looks like it's back on a market with a T56!

From the Washington, DC craiglist: quote:900$$ as is where is directions are as follows: you call xxx-xxx-4587 you tell me your intrested in the truck i give you directions on where the truck can be seen you come out if you like the truck then you buy the truck and you drive it home with you after you pay me the 900$ cash! i will not hold it for you this is a 1st come 1st serve deal im not intrested in checks!! im not intrested in shipping it theres alot of time & money invested the truck and im not willing to take any less for the truck i was selling it for 1500 last week but i lowerd the price for a quick sell also this truck is 1984 so it has a few flaws but it is in good conditon for its age 1984 not 2010 1984!!!!! Phone number redacted, but otherwise definitely not edited for grammar, spelling, or punctuation. I don't know what's a funnier voice to read this in: the "squeal like a pig" hick from Deliverance, or Fragmaster's.

Rhyno posted:Oh dear me. Teenaged Rhyno is jumping up and down in the back of my brain telling me to sell a kidney and half of my liver. Can you even get 345/35/15 tires? Back then they were probably Z rated so that's not a big deal but that size is crazy. If they're available i want one just to use for garage decoration. Edit - Holy crap  It costs around $600 and is still made in limited batches by Pirelli. Toucan Sam fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 16, 2010 |

If it followed the lines of the rest of the car a little more...say if it tapered a bit as it went forward, it might actually look GOOD. That rear bumper is inexcusable.

I'd like to know the story behind that car and what it actually went for. Looks like the min the feds wanted was $70K though... although I'm confused as it says closed to bidding but doesn't sell until December?

Those safety bumpers can be removed, right? It's not like they're going to fail your inspection for not having them.slidebite posted:although I'm confused as it says closed to bidding but doesn't sell until December? I thought it was closed as in the bids weren't posted publicly. You have to log in to bid.

All leather interior with power seats, Kenwood sound system w/ 6 CD changer. Automatic transmission with manual shift option. Well maintained vehicle would make an excellent school car.

I can't say I'd feel all that confident driving a car with a 21 year old automatic transmission, though. When I was looking for a car last year I came across an ad for a similar car (might have been a 530 though) with 235,000 kilometers on the counter. It was a 94 and selling for about the same money. If it had been a manual I would have been hard-pressed to not go for it, but it was an auto.

The Countach is still for sale. I'm wondering what it really goes for when it goes to the auction house as no one uses in the general public uses the Crown auction site.

Not that I'd turn this one down, but I think they look much better. edit Here's a Maserati Biturbo for cheap if anyone wants to tear the engine apart.  Click here for the full 1254x1571 image.

I didn't even think to screencap the listing at the time, but this weekend I bought a '74 BMW 2002 for $1500. I somehow miraculously got bumped up to the #1 spot when his first looker no-showed. We did all the paperwork in his living room and his inbox was FILLED with responses to the listing. He could have listed it for twice the price and still sold it the same day.

Oddly enough, my elderly neighbors think the best feature of my 1980 Benz is the hideous USDM chrome crash bumpers. They were pissed about their scratched & dented plastic bumpers and reminiscing about the good ol' days when you could run just over everything while smoking unfiltered lucky strikes.  Awesome green color on that bimmer too.
