Rolo posted:That is, indeed, rad. I posted it in the 'Post your own ride' thread but we paid $4500 for it, she was asking 5000. Like I said earlier in the thread we had been looking for a Samurai but we stumbled upon this Tracker and seeing it in all its glory shifted our focus. For pricing it's on the higher end for an early 90s Suzuki but with the shape it's in and the mileage I feel it's worth it. You can find other Trackers/Sidekicks in fairly good shape with close to 200k miles for around 3-4k. Much like Samurais, Trackers are just not around anymore because they got the poo poo beat out of them. This one is a find, and digging through the glovebox we found the original window sticker and the business card from the dealership it was bought it. This thing was bought in Naples and stayed in Naples, I honestly wonder if this is the furthest it's ever been from where it was sold.

Trackers were popular RV-tow-behind vehicles, so the engine and transmission (?) may not actually have that many miles on them, just the suspension and wheel bearings. edit: Those are usually advertised as such, and should still have some evidence of being set up for towing at some point regardless.

That also old enough to still have a mechanical speedometer, which is hooked to the transmission output shaft. The miles would still show up, unless they had one of those fancy driveshaft disconnects, which I seriously doubt on a Tracker. It probably was just used to tootle around Naples, not a Craigslist Crazy History ™

Watched the TopGear special where they drove from Miami to New Orleans and Hammond's Dodge pickup made me pop on craigslist looking for 70s pickups.  Holy cow, what a thing.

Yes more 70's land yachts please. 2 door and 4 doors welcomed. I see a 4 door Ford Galaxy in my neck of the woods that looks to be decent shape that I like to window shop.

Going to Costa Rica in a few months to visit some friends so I decided to take a gander at CL south of the border edition and I found this: I'd love the opportunity to drive this back to the states. Unfortunately, I live in CA and this state is assholish with anything imported: https://costarica.craigslist.org/cto/6010365498.html?lang=en&cc=us

The glasshouse doesn't match, and that's usually the part that identify hacked up cars. Different door handles too. I guess that's a modernization of a at the time crappy old car done in the late 70's/early 80's?

I realize 69 camaros were selling for $1500 in the late 70s but how in any shape or function is that an improvement? (Besides the velour interior). I am tempted to steal the pictures and list it as a 69 turbo supra.

"Short bed Chevy" Has cam!!!! No rust!!!! I know he means an aftermarket cam, but it still sounds silly. And if there's no rust, what's all that orange/brown stuff?  Just a passivating finish, ofc, aka "patina". I love the way it looks as-is.But the improper use of quotes makes me hate him, so I'm too offended by that to actually buy it. Also he should probably have mentioned the banana-shaped hood (which, as I learned from Mike Finnegan, is just a normal sign of aging with that era of Chevy, but still.)

The only thing I like about it are the flush AMC door handles. Maybe the quarter panel scoop.

He just has to hold out long enough. Sooner or later inflation and appreciation of an aging car will meet in the middle. Probably later, though.
