That is a Countach wing, isn't it? Or a least a rip-off one. I can almost fathom painting a DeLorean - even though you can still work dents out of the stainless and rebrush - but why is it always the worst of loving reds?

That poor, poor car. It looks so sad in the lower right photo. "Please. Kill me. Please."

As far as I can tell the "1993 Suzuki Sprint" is a completely made up vehicle. Maybe its a Mitsubishi Mirage, or Eagle Summit, or Dodge/Plymouth Colt, but not a Suzuki.

That's definitely an 89-92 Mitsubishi Mirage or Dodge Colt, hard to tell without being able to see a badge. The Eagle Summit had a different grille.

Right, but "looks like a Mustang GT" is still pretty far off, as well as "the truck is only going to go up in value." I know it's rare, but I doubt it's going to appreciate.

leasing is a good idea maybe right after you finish university and you can afford it. I know that's what I did, and given the driving I had to do for my job the car worked out well.

If you had a job that required a lot of driving, a leased car would be the last thing you want. As it is, I'm on the hook with VW for $1,000 for going over my allotted miles on the GTI I turned in at the end of its lease.

Could clones be considered the 60s & 70s equivalent of re-badging a base model car as the high-performance version? I.e., 3-series to M3; A4 to S4, CTS to CTS-V, etc.

Well, no. Its not a "clone" unless its got the motor to push it. That's a lot more work than some loctite and a plastic badge.

Oh, so clones are actually built up to the original car's specs? So, in my example from before, it'd be considered a clone if someone actually put an M3 drivetrain into a 3-series.

Same here. When ebay was new, I bought and sold a few things via auctions, but now I only use it as a last resort and only if the item is something I really need or want and can't find anywhere else. I don't even mess with the auctions anymore. If I can't 'buy it now,' I'll keep looking.

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.

Which is why I've always wanted to find a '79 Fairmont and turn it into a sleeper. Something along these lines:

The '79/'80 Fairmont 2 door coupe is the lightest fox body at something like 2300lbs curb weight. That's before you strip it.

I'm partial to the coupe, but couldn't find a good photo of one. In college, I left a note on the ideal '79 coupe, but the owner didn't want to sell and I didn't have any money anyway.

Remember "Stor"? It was like an Ikea predecessor. That Fairmont is simply a "Kar". It's a vehicle with doors and engine and a trunk from a purely functional perspective. It's like how a five year old draws a car in crayon. It's more than a car, it's a shape.

Exactly. That is exactly what I love about it.
