Parts from (at least) 8 different manufacturers located all over the world - including stuff that was never part of a car in the first place? Check. Healthy dose of custom / hand fabbed / one off poo poo? Check.  it's AI all right. Kind of awesome, but that's the kind of thing right there that will drive anyone but the person who originally built it completely loving insane. That said, buy it now, so you can regale us with tales of the wacky poo poo that is surely contained within.

This is in my neighborhood, and it says "BUY ME" It also says "I WILL BE A GIANT MONEY PIT, AND WHEN MY OWNER SAYS I "RUN NICE" HE'S ONLY KIDDING, LITTLE JOKE THERE HEH HEH" Oddly enough, the awesome Alfa Romeo Milano that's been FS for a while down the street says the same things. I want this anyway though, someone needs to block me from Craigslist or something.  http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/2630476168.html

Craigslist is the kryptonite of AI. I keep seeing some sweet rides in my area that don't need much work. And my aching wallet....

$3,300 Lotus Esprit! What's better is that it was featured as a project car hell on Jalopnik three years ago. The Esprit has made its way to Kansas and has a test-fit Mustang dashboard now. Everything's an easy fix on craigslist! http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/2632837876.html http://jalopnik.com/374953/pch-superpower-malaise-showdown-1978-ferrari-308-or-1980-lotus-esprit

The engine is in good shape runs perfect except that its not running because either the battery isn't holding a charge or the alternator needs. replaced. Other than that the car runs it just that the fly wheel has to either be replaced or have some teeth tac welded back on cuz its missing at least ten the last time I checked out of 100!! There is rust underneath the door its not rusted all the way through just the bottom of the frame on both sides!!! I have had the transmissions lines replaced also the hoses for the coolant as well as one of the pulleys less than 10 months ago!!!

I can't remember the last time I saw one of these in this kind of shape - especially in the great salty North. Under 70k miles, appears to be immaculate, and he wants loving $500 for it?? I don't care if it's running or not, if I had the space for this I would have it here already. Someone here obviously needs to buy it so I can come over and sit inside and make turbo noises. http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/2643107537.html

Thinking about it, my only problem with the interior is that it's not in a Jag and it's not a real tartan. As I know a ton of Scottish assholes that would buy that car.

slidebite posted:What is it with all the different license plates the guy has? Most US states let you run with a vintage year-of-manufacture plate on the vehicle, so long as the antique vehicle plate (which is usually designed to look old, but is modern) it's registered under is kept with the vehicle and the tax stamps are applied. The third plate seems to be a relatively-recent modern plate (the car couldn't have always been registered as an antique vehicle).

Found in the middle of my local newspaper - seemingly the Classifieds were not good enough. This MIGHT make sense if I lived in a rural community, however, the newspaper serves two affluent suburbs of Vancouver where it snows once every 5 years. FOR SALE:  Is that a good price?

I'm not sure how many miles or 'hours' of use are left in those, and you gotta believe they ain't cheap to replace. Hell, even if you've got the cash to replace them, good luck finding replacements..
