Is it just that picture or do late '80s Audis all look like GM products? Debadge that thing and hand me a bottle of gin and I'd swear on my left nut it was a post-'85 Buick/Olds front clip grafted onto a '90s Caprice wagon.

So many corvettes with no motors. Ironic I see so many 70s-80s breadtrucks and vans missing 350s though.

Nah, there are corvette recyclers that pick up every one of them that they can. Someone posted an article recently how pick n pull yards are rapidly changing that mentioned it.

AAAAAAAA DAMMIT. THE 1984 TRANS AM WENT BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET A RESPONSE FROM THE GUY. :< Anyways, here's my newest  http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/4759465453.html SEEMS pretty cheap for a SR20DET 240sx, especially considering the other ones I see are hilariously priced (15k+).

The non-recirc BOV is probably what is wrong with it when he said it needs tuning. Either way, pass on that one.

I present to you: the elephantman saab!Craigslist SFBay posted:00' SAAB 93 CONVERTIBLE - $2600 (san jose downtown) Pay no attention to the fact that I can't spell very well, or that the front is severely broken. I'm only asking $2600! Call first, because I'm going to need to buy more zip ties if you want to test drive it. Also, the top doesn't work (for some reason).

We've reached peak rear end in a top hat http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/4765767785.html  Of all the cars I could've bought 5-10 years ago at the confluence of "when they were cheaper" and "I could've actually afforded one" it's a toss up between E30s and 2002s.

 Some Guy posted:Please DO NOT reply if you are not buying Can somebody please explain why this person chose to import a pretty undesirable version of a car that was sold in Canada already, and inexplicably swap and engine from a 325i in? Why didn't he just buy a 325i? The only positives I can see about this car is the fact that it's a sunroof-less car and no rust. It could be a good base for a track car but not at this price I'm afraid. This isn't the first time I've seen very high prices for imported, basic versions of E30s either so maybe the rarity makes them worth it?
