Tommychu posted:in Cali in 1980 the only Vette you could buy had a 305, computer controlled Quadrajet, and a TH350 because the 4-speeds weren't ready yet. No manual option. Gross. For some reason I thought the 'vette always had at least a middlin' displacement, except for the first couple years with the six. I guess that's just more reason to dismiss anything made between '74 and '95 or so, inclusive.

 http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/5500077736.html I actually saw this on the street today by coincidence. Door was unlocked so I looked inside... interior is actually quite nice (no rips I could see) beyond a missing driver's door panel.

This is from their FAQ: The part that it doesn't mention is that it is a real long shot to get this thing smogged in California. From everything I've seen, heard, looked at or examined it's California that stands alone with trying to register one of these things in that state because of the smog rules. Technically it can be, practically smog will knock you out.

We had a bunch in Guantanamo, but they were all Chinese knockoffs with electric motors limited to 30, but they were definitely old Kei-van sheet metal stampings.

MrYenko posted:Kei Van chat: The FAA academy complex in Oklahoma City has a slew of those things for on-campus transportation. I really don't understand the infatuation with them, they're terrible, terrible little abominations. Emotionally I think I like them so much for two reasons. One, a kei van is about as far away from ~typical cool~ from new vehicles today. Everything is larger, more complicated and more ostentatious than before. An impossibly tiny van is a combination of a small car (uncool) plus a van (uncool) and that throws it real far away from what you are supposed to want, especially if you are a young guy and some other young guy sees you but he's peacocking in his giant lifted pickup. I kind of relish that confusion. Two, I guess I'm vain as all hell because you will get attention from just about everyone and I like that. Everyone notices, looks, reacts and some ask questions. If you want attention I can't really point out something that would get more.

Give them a call and check some poo poo out, why not? Because I don't live in RVA anymore. It's about a 2 hour drive. I still go down there every few weeks to get my hair cut and mill about, so I might do that if the wifey doesn't come with me.

If you want to spend 10-15k doing the same emissions tests manufacturers do to type certify a car, yes, you can register it in CA. Or do what everyone else does and register out of state.  Edit: Or, you could swap in an engine that was sold from new in CA from the 'same class of vehicle', I'm sure there are tons of 600cc turbo 3 cylinders that were sold in vans in california. astropika fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 5, 2016 |

It's not on craigslist, it's just down the street. 1982 Datsun 280ZX   Doesn't run, but I can't find any rust or anything. Theoretically needs a new fuel pump, god knows what else it might need. They're asking $1000, I intend to offer $600. Edit: just got off the phone with the owner. He said he parked it 10 years ago. At that time, he could get it to run by feeding fuel to the engine, but it couldn't pump it from the tank--he figures the fuel pump was clogged. He also says the transmission would pop out of reverse; how unique were these transmissions? (were they also in the pickups?) Pham Nuwen fucked around with this message at 20:26 on May 7, 2016 |

Pham Nuwen posted:It's not on craigslist, it's just down the street. 1982 Datsun 280ZX  Either way if it hasn't been cranked in 10 years that thing is likely seized. No rust at all is shocking, but I guess if you live the middle of a desert it's possible. Prepare to replace every bushing in the suspension even if you can get it running again.. along with u-joints, seals, etc.It's a very slow, heavy and underpowered GT car and that's one is even worst than most being a 2+2 but at least it's a stick. I think it would be way more trouble than it's worth, even for $250. Even if that car was running it is hardly worth anything and it's not a collectible configuration.
