I've never seen one before so i don't even know what a good price would be.

I would drive the gently caress out of that Superman car, plus i have the parts to fix it. I'd want to fit 24's with a different offset than it currently has because those wheels look off in the pictures. Price is completely crazy though.

It's on eBay but i know a lot of people here like little strange cars.

This guy has four different Chevy Turbo Sprints for sale. I've never actually seen one before but it's small and turbo so someone here might be interested.

They used to be very common back in the late 80s/90s but I haven't seen one for some time. As a matter of fact, I rarely see a regular one now either.

Domino's used to use the non turbos after they got rid of their Chevettes where i lived. I didn't even know they made a turbo version.

I'm the high bidder at $6200 but i'm only authorized for ten grand so i would like to see what this is going to go for. I still haven't met the reserve at my current bid of $7500.

I've emailed and talked to the seller up until it sold but i did not buy it. No matter what i bid the guy who won would outbid me almost instantly so once he bid it above 10k i bowed out. It would have probably went for a couple grand more if i would have kept bidding. We actually may have located a similar one closer to my location so i think he's going to check it out and see what he can get it for. He was prepared to go over 10k but i wasn't considering the guy i was bidding against really wanted it worse than i did. I set a hard price of what i want to pay and once it gets there i'm done and this was one of those cases.

Well, apparently that guy didn't want it bad enough, since it's back up with a screenshot of the email the seller received :v: Already at $8k.

I don't want to talk poo poo but it's pretty convenient i get outbid within minutes of every one of my bids and then when i get outbid by two bucks over ten grand the winner backs out. I told the seller i was willing to go to fifteen grand so that makes it look even more like a shill bidder was jacking up the price to get me to fifteen grand.

Sat for 5 years but started right up and set me back $200. My mullet is definitely not bitchin' enough to drive it the way it sits so it will be redone before it hits the road.




It's a 305 carbed '87 in the original yellow, '87 is the last year for that color so it will probably stay. I already picked up all the parts to fix it up also. I got doors, suspension, fenders, Harwood 4" cowl hood, Iroc nose, and lower front ground effect.

That's all i need for the full combo really. If i found a set for a decent price i would honestly put them on but they are hard to find nowadays. I actually had a set on my '86, talk about no visibility and a rattling distraction.

What sucks is i paid more for the parts than the car, $550 for all the parts. I got lucky on the parts since a local guy was parting out his freshly restored car because he needed the money for a different project. $700 is a good deal if the body is solid, a drivetrain swap is simpler than fixing rusty quarters. I really didn't want a yellow car but this one pretty much fell in my lap with the options i wanted. I just wanted a Camaro with T-tops and a carbed V8 that ran and drove. I was just in the right place at the right time.

So, uh...can anything be done with a carbed 305?

Yank it out to put a real engine in. I just wanted a carbed V8, displacement didn't matter because i'm putting in a 350 after the body is done.

I always lease my big trucks for the cheaper payments, $650 a month instead of $801. I always buy out the lease though and run them into the ground, works out well for what i need them for.

I don't mind the exterior, i think a nice set of wheels would make it pretty decent. You can't fix that interior and that is the deal breaker for me.

Those old Fairmonts and Granadas are the lightest fox body cars made. All of the running gear from a 1979 to 2004 Mustang will fit inside of them with bolt on parts, no fabricating required.

Just sayin.

My mom has her original one owner '78 sport model Granada in a local, to her, storage unit. It is identical to this car, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3811453 , only it is what i call emerald green. It is green inside and out but it still has the hubcaps, same white pinstripe, and sport windows.

A pristine F-body goes for way more than $5000. It's a low mileage T-top car so the price is in line with what i would expect.

RARE!! 1984 bmw 318 dinan turbo 1 of 1 ever made - $3000 (east canton)

I know the original owner of this car, my brother in laws mother is the original owner and then he bought it from her when she got a new BMW. This was a fast loving car in it's day, hell it was still fast as gently caress ten years ago when the turbo was still on it. She got taken advantage of by a garage, that's why the turbo is missing. He told her the turbo was bad and he switched the car to na but never gave her back the turbo. The car was still quick without it but it was a loving rocket ship with it.

if you like m3, 318, 325, turbo then look at this.

i have for sale a black 1984 bmw 318 is this is a 1 of 1 ever made. i have the entire turbo kit that was on the car, minus the compressor. the car was switched to n.a. but the turbo kit was saved. the story on the car is.... the owner of dinan bmw performance special ordered this car from bmw and they put on the 2002 bmw test kit on this car. the kit was not used or mass produced for the 318. i was told by the only tech that has been there since the 80's that he built this car, and he gave me this info. i will try and post pics soon, or i can send through text.

the car does need some minor bodywork, and engine refreshed, but it is a 1 of 1 ever made dinan car.
the car is a black 2 door 5 speed with a full tasteful bodykit and borbet 5 star new rims and tires.also tan leather recaro limited m power seats.
please call me with offers, or questions. may trade for old car/ratrod/hotrod/leadsled??????? p.s. no b.s. this car is what it is i have verified this through dinan, and should be able to obtain paperwork to prove it, so please don't try and send me negative e-mails, and texts. i have owned many bimmers, so i wouldn't post a b.s. ad. thanks.



He didn't have a garage and lives in a shady neighborhood and he sold it so that it could be restored by someone who had the time and money. I would have bought it myself but i didnt know he sold it until after the fact. I texted him today to confirm it was his old car and he couldn't believe it, he kicks himself daily for selling it. The car is rough, lovely paint, worn interior, and engine needed rebuilt last time i drove it. It has dinan suspension also if i remember correctly because it has always sat way lower and rode much stiffer than other BMWs of the same year.

I would do bad things to this car if i could get it for $1500 - $2000, it's not worth even that much if he didn't fix the issues it had it was sold. I just remember how cool it was back in the day.

My brother does the trade thing but he does it without looking for anything in particular. He has owned everything from an Explorer with 38" tires to a late model Jaguar all by trading even up or trade plus less than $500 cash. He has had at least 20 cars in the last two years.

No, he isn't that ambitious by a long shot. He just sees stuff that people are willing to trade and calls them up if he's interested. The worse they can say is no so it's no big deal. He has a reliable driver and a company vehicle so it's not like he's taking a big chance. A guy that works for me does something similar but he will put out cash if he sees something he can flip.
