This is something beautiful. '76 Triumph Bonneville for $4100 (the ad is really too short to be worth copy'n'pasting. Offsite photos. Sometimes CL surprises me with nice things and for a time my faith in the site is renewed.

You'll see there are two photos showing the pedal cluster in that craigslist ad. The photo on the right, takeen at a wider angle, clearly shows that there is no gas pedal at the right by the door sill. The leftmost pedal is the gas pedal, not a dead pedal. These photos have clearly been flipped to make it appear RHD. Just wanted to get that out there because you're otherwise right-on the other 99.99% of the time.

Here's a nice polluted tract in scenic South Jersey, contaminated with some Air Cooled ephemera. http://southjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2285639796.html    More pics in the ad, and the photos in the ad link to a photobucket album. Doesn't look like any floorpans can be saved, but lots of trim and glass, and who know what go-fast parts might be hiding under some of those hoods...

eddiewalker posted:The airline industry is what keeps Rolls Royce in business. The car division was sold off in 1973 to fund jet engine development, and since the late 90s VW has built Bentleys and RR-branded cars are by BMW. Moreover, I was attempting to show RR/Bentley's new place in the modern consumer, automotive, and economic cultures. I sincerely doubt that FC Kerbeck of Philadelphia would have kept five Phantoms, Corniches, or Silver Shadows in stock ($1.5 million retail value) back in the Seventies and Eighties as they are doing now with a fleet of Ghosts: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/ncal.jsp?ncal_id=5887407&ct=n&car_id=294314874&dealer_id=100018562 What does this say? To me, I see the diversification of the Rolls Royce and Bentley brands as a dilution of the values the mark professed for eighty-some years - those of hand-built reliability and ruggedness, and supreme value given that we're talking cars designed to last longer than your house. 1978 was Rolls' best year for sales, moving nearly four thousand units. Last year they did just over two thirds that following years of slowly climbing triple-digit numbers. So really, what do I know. I'm just wondering why twenty years ago I didn't catch too many off-lease - let alone dealer stock - Rollers and Bentleys in the DuPont Registry, whereas today there seems to be a virtual glut. Aren't they traditionally the kind of car you'd option-out yourself? Or is it just that 300 Grand is worth less now than it used to be?

rscott posted:Well its pretty obvious that 300K isn't worth as much as it was back in 1978 or whatever. Using the CPI as a guide, $300k in 2010 is roughly equal to $74.1k in 1975. In 1975, a Silver Shadow invoiced for $38,750. That's about $157k today, according to the CPI. High Retail for a Silver Shadow these days is $29k-ish. Yeeesh. I'm not sure what I've proved here other than some astounding inflation.

Tai-Pan posted:I have never met anyone, anywhere who ever viewed RR and Bentleys as "reliable" or "rugged". One of the main selling points of the Maybach was, essentially, "this car is not a tremendous pile of unreliable poo poo". It takes a LONG time to earn a reputation as bad as RR, much longer than the BMW ownership. Tai-Pan posted:Also, I think you might simply be seeing an observer bias here.

Paint doesn't count because honestly, how do you think the paint's going to look on these, the last four decent f-bodies you speak of? Performance parts also do not count because you'd need to buy four of each for your argument to hold water. IOwnCalculus posted:Huh, an Opel GT on eBay? has all the ground efects..whale tait.
