Real gold? I've always wanted one of these but I'm pretty sure my neighbors would show up at my doorstep holding torches and pitchforks if I bought another car.

Oh yeah. I start at 25000 miles on the low end. So like:
25000 - 125000 miles
Manual trans
500 - 5000 price

That's in great shape given location. Great color as well.

I own a '95 Caprice Wagon as well. Bought it from the original owner with around 80K on the clock. Blue/blue. Have the original window sticker. Sold for 25K.

I'll tell you three things:

1) It has road presence. It's weird and hard to explain, but no one fucks around when they see the behemoth cometh.

2) It literally is a sofa on wheels. Think of those huge Lincolns and Caddys in the 60's and 70's. Floats like a butterfly.

3) It actually gets a lot of comments. Not something you see everyday.

But the best one is...you put it in reverse and it does the "beep beep beep" sound. I lol everytime.

Heh, noticed that after you pointed it out. That is odd. Maybe had a deal for green after grandpa's bowels went loose.

With that said, it isn't worth 3500.

My in-laws' neighbor has an orange 240Z that he pulls out of the garage on Sunday mornings. It's so beautiful, I have to go over and gawk whenever I'm visiting and it's in the driveway.

I'm going to have to disagree, those wheels were used on so much poo poo from the 70's that I will forever associate them with lovely non-airbrushed vans.

Because a 302 is actually a 4.9L :goonsay:

It was a flawed car to begin with from what I understand. Or at least, while nothing was wrong with the OG Prelude, nothing was terribly right, either.

Craigslist needs to replace the "automatic/manual" checkbox in their postings with "2 pedals/3 pedals"

I don't know if that would go so well. I have 3 pedals in my automatic car, because parking brake.

An autostick? It clutches in when you push on the shifter. Has tall gearing because it's also got a rudimentary torque converter, which also acts like a torque multiplier.

That's the one. It just wouldn't fit into the "count the pedals" criteria for the craigslist fix for sellers not knowing what auto/manual transmissions are.

Isn't the Autostick the basis of the 'Freeway Flyer' transmission?

Queen_Combat

I thought that was the split window bus, because of the gear reduction portal boxes combined with the newer, higher HP engines in the last two years of its life allowing taller gearing.

Could be wrong though.
