Seller says it's a "hardcore Euro" and needs a fuel pump. Anything from Chicago is made of rust and broken dreams. If only it had the crazy interior with the CRT TV, calculator and 5000 cassette decks.

You should look at it. Some of the old ones can be real gems. Hell those wheels are worth almost half the price of the car. If you only got a year out of it before the chassis cracked it would still be worth it. That thing is hot.

I just bought an old Mercedes because of this stupid thread. 560sl. Pics coming.

thanks but I am not in the market for something like that right now i need something more dependable. I was just curious if AI would purchase a project car like that and if its worth it.

The seller of the gray car bought it non-running from a junkyard for $1k, it isn't a Lorinser but a modded greymarket car. The wheels and headlights with wipers are worth at least $1k though.

This "AMG" has been for sale for at least 2.5 (!) years on craigslist. The seller is interested in a straight trade for my 300cd. I would do that trade if it had AMG or Lorinser paperwork, many 1980's riced W126s were done at random bodyshops by ordering the bodykits from AMG or other tuners. I'm fine with the hideous metallic gold color because my 300cd is the same color. AMG of Chicago modified oodles of these.

This gold one looks like it has the Lorinser bodykit and styling, but that doesn't explain the later AMG wheels.

While I doubt all this needs is a set of heads, but iron heads on ebay sell for around $100 new, old cop car inventory, and speedyway hot rod shop sells head bolts for 40 bucks and a set of gaskets is around $100 so I think you are in business. The iron heads flow better but hold in the heat.

I had a '90 Mark VII with the HO 302. It wasnt anything anyone could call fast, just had a nice bit of low end torque (nothing compared to a mark VIII). Nice cars and parts for the "5.0" are easy to find, usually off the shelf.

Out of all the G-Bodies the Grand Prix is probably the least known and most interesting. That body looks clean all it needs is a cut down ford 9 inch and a 350 shoved in it now and you'd have a very awesome car, or something you could turn around and sell for 10 times what you paid.

1974 Bricklin

quote:

Rare 74' Bricklin

A 74 Bricklin that is owned by a 75 yr old lady...SERIOUSLY! My deceased father collected cars this is the last one left and mom is downsizing. The valuation of the car is difficult being so rare, but discussions with Bricklin enthusiasts has confirmed that it is already priced to sell given it's condition.

#696 of 800 total built in 74'.

A piece of Canadian history. The Bricklin was built for two years only (74'-75' total production 2883), out of New Brunswick using mostly Ford and AMC parts. This one is an International award winner with only 30,000 orig mi. The car was also featured in the 89' autoplan calendar, it has the bigger 360 AMC motor, air door conversion on the gull wings, recent A/C service (((blows cold))) NO PAINT! Original "Safety White" fiberglass (increases their value). Tons of extras like protective cover and collectable memorabilia, extra parts incl. original steering wheel.

Purchased from original owner in 79'

The link at the end will take you to the Bricklin International web site ad where you can learn more about the car.
The car is air-cared and is eligible for collector plates.

Everything works...tons of power...very cool car.

Now Reduced to $17,500
It's actually not a terrible price for being in the condition it seems.
