I really don't know the market for USSR-era Soviet shitboxes, and while $6000 seems a lot for what is by all rights a fairly terrible car, it's also not a lot of money for something that would be especially unique. If I had $6k I'd be temped, just to be able to say I've owned and driven one. Also, I'm guessing that's the fuel tank directly above the engine underhood? If so I'm loving that design element.

Trabis were East German, and the gravity fed fuel eliminated the need for a pump. Those things were so simple it's scary.

Wow driving around in a puddle. That looks about 5% more fun than paying a dollar for the bumper cars at the local lovely faire, but about 50,000 times more expensive.

Wait for a cheaper one and then stick a 'busa engine in it. The results speak for themselves, I think:

Yeah I mean I have nothing in particular against offroading; jeeping around Moab looks amazing and even just a normal offroad course with some corners, steep climbs, etc. including a mud puddle or two could be tons of fun.

Driving a piece of scaffolding with tires on it aimlessly around a broad featureless puddle in the hot sun... I really, really don't get it.

No poo poo. I don't doubt that's probably one of the best-condition LT1 fourthgens you'll see these days, and the LT1 was a pretty damned exciting thing when it came out... but now that's a car that will have to run its rear end off to not get spanked by a Camry. Just because it's the last one left without massively burnt paint / broken bodyparts doesn't make it any good these days.

Also, gotta love how so much money went into the motor (VALVE COVERS) but there's not a single shot of it.

Drive shaft needs to be shortened and welded. Already cut just needs a section removed and welded.

Other than that its just tinkering. All the hard work has been completed. I have just lost interest due to wanting to buy a house and having another baby on the way.
Price is fairly firm as I have more than this money invested not including the time and fabrication.

A week later I sold it for $4800 :v:

Not saying that Camaro is worth that (it's not), but the market dictates the price sometimes.
