madattheinternet posted:407 is an Orlando area code... that's a typical Central Florida craigslist post so he must just be a transplant. Doesn't count for Texas. Also, Midland/Odessa is very much not South Texas. That's West Texas. South Texas would be Austin and below (Houston, San Antonio, Galveston, Corpus Cristi, etc.)

There's probably a bunch of Cibics and Mohstangs with kits and neons. There were whenever I visited the valley

I loooove 80's chryslers, and this one looks amazing... But $7000? maybe $5000, if it had a Turbo motor in it. And this one doesn't.

I'm having a crisis right now, there was a Taurus SHO up locally but the guy doubled his price when I showed up. Then another pops up and it's nearly perfect (I know, its a SHO so it will be hosed somehow). Well last night I see and SVT Focus for sale right down the loving street from me. Keep in mind that I own a Mazdaseed 6 and a Ford F-150 Lightning, I really don't need a third limited edition car that's more trouble to work on than the standard version. But gently caress me if I don't want both of them.

Would drive this all day long, I don't care how cartoonish it looks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Othe...=item231a74a82c  Ebay posted:HERE WE HAVE A 1969 MANTA MIRAGE, TORCH RED WITH 1395 ORIGINAL MILES, YES THATS 1395 MILES. DOCUMENTED. THESE CARS WERE WAY AHEAD OF THIER TIME AND WILL STILL OUT HADLE AND HANG WITH THE BEST OF THEM. THIS ALL FIBERGLASS CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE VW KITS. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. IT HAS A HAND BUILT TUBE CHASSIS, ITS A MID ENGINE CAR WITH THE PERFECT WEIGHT RATIO. IT HAS A BUILT SMALL BLOCK CHEVY ENGINE WITH A 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE HEADERS ARE A WORK OF ART AND MUST BE SEEN, THERE ARE A SET SMALL RACE MUFFLERS WELDED IN FOR JUST THAT RIGHT AMOUNT OF BACK PRESSURE. THIS THING GETS UP AND MOVES, HANDLES LIKE A GO CART AND STOPS GREAT. THE CAR WAS EVEN ORDERED WITH AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WORKS, IT BLOWS ICE COLD. EVERYTHING ON IT WORKS PERFECTLY. NO LEAKS, SQUEAKS OR RATTLES. THE INTERIOR CONSISTS OF THE ORIGINAL CARPET, SEATS AND GUAGES. THE SEATS ARE CONTOURED TO THE INSIDE AND FIT THE DRIVER LIKE A GLOVE. THE GAUGES ARE THE ORIGINAL STEWART WARNER AND ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. ALL GAUGES WORK AND LOOK GREAT. THE FRONT AND REAR GLASS ARE FREE OF SCRATCHES AND LOOK GREAT. THE TOP IS REMOVEABLE OR CAN BE DRIVEN WITH IT ON AS WELL. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WORK FLAWLESSLY. IT STARTS EASY AND SHIFTS GREAT, ITS REALLY A BLAST TO DRIVE. IT ALSO HAS A COMPLETE SECOND IGNITION SET UP SO WHILE THE REAR SECTION IS OPEN IF YOU NEED TO START AND WORK ON THE ENGINE YOU CAN WITHOUT HAVING TO GET INTO THE CAR. IT CAN ALL BE DONE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS TIGHT AND ALL PARTS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS CENTERLINE WHEELS AND BFG TIRES, ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CAR. I AM SURE THERE IS SOMETHING I LEFT OUT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND PROVIDE ME WITH A CONTACT NUMBER AND I WILL CALL YOU. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CAR PLEASE EMAIL ME AND WE CAN SET UP A TIME.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:here's some ebay gold It's sad that his design skills aren't up to the level of his fabrication skills. I mean, look at the "sheetmetalhappens" link - that's all steel. I have to wonder if that's really what it looked like in his head. Also, do those headlights even point vaguely in the right direction? They're from an Elise, so I'm guessing that at that angle, they're pointing more than a bit... somewhere else. Maybe there's enough adjustment there.

 So it is guaranteed to this guy it will start once the battery is charged but, in a fit of confidence in his purchase, he, random internet guy, will not guarantee it for you. And in order to get the key, you have to buy. He has looked it over very closely, so buy with confidence.

poo poo, that's not far from me. gently caress that guy, though. $800 with the key or no deal. You could always hook up a battery and jump the starter with a screwdriver to see if it really cranks. Sounds like he's trying to sell it on faith that he'll send you the title after you pay for it and take it. No thanks, too much of a pain in the rear end.

GT40...IRON heads...and still 40HP shy of the DOHC. It made less horsepower than the Lincoln Mark VIII. A shameful Cobra. Lets not even start talking about the magical gently caress you ECU.
