There's a Barra 6cyl swapped AMC Javelin up for sale at this month's Shannon's Auction. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a turbocharged one.

In Australia, thats a $7500-10K vehicle....

It feels good for us to be the ones with a cheap used car, for once.

The Australian market cars came with a D16, I'm fairly sure they were available with a B16 in Japan

OK, just the front. I seemed to remember that both ends were skirted, but apparently I remembered wrong.

Maybe you're thinking of the Figoni et Falaschi bodied Delahayes?

I don't know what that is, but I know I want one.

That'd be a Suzuki Mightyboy

Why would anybody want a Mightyboy? Unless you had tiny little girly feet and weighed about as much a spring breeze. But then I'm sure everyone has their own dark desires. I'd love an old Colt because it had a range lever. I mean mechanical overdrive.

I don't imagine they are very practical, but there are enough of those things around with silly motor swaps to justify their existence. Where won't an LS1 fit?

Not sure what I am looking at.

Is that a full service gas station?

Media has lead me to believe that this is how service stations operate in Japan, Datsun 1200 aside

That is a pretty amazing collection. My girlfriend has a '64 EH named Doug. Yup, imagine how emasculated I must feel! He's pretty cool but I can't help but hope that Holden goes the same way as Ford in Aus and then he might actually be worth a bit of cash. In the mean time he trundles around, hates wet weather (wants to spin those tyres and slide around), hates hot weather (overheating) and generally provides a great example of why Australian engineering is the envy of the developed world.... or somthing

As someone who has daily driven an EJ Holden successfully, you need to start treating that thing right :colbert:

Heat was only ever an issue with mine when the water pump needed replacing. I've got wide wheels and a 149 so breaking traction was never an issues, really

Was bored on Sunday after doing a 8.2km fun run, so went for a drive. Came across a sign pointing to a car museum in a small town. So checked it out. I wasn't expecting much, probably a small collection of Australian cars and some imports, but I was proven very wrong

Where abouts is this? I don't think I've ever seen or heard of it before

Early nineties F1 will forever be the definition of the 'F1' shape for me, for one reason:

I'm not saying modern cars are ugly, per se, I'm saying that subtlety and restraint have become a lost art. What happened to the days when a well-heeled gentleman could purchase a vehicle only slightly different looking to a run-of-the-mill execumobile, but with a fire-breathing engine and uprated suspension and poo poo? Now everything has to have "Look at me! Look at me!" stamped on it in 70pt bold comic sans and it's just poo poo. Leave the screaming, outrageous styling to the true sportscars.

Volvo comes close; the S60 Polestar is fairly unassuming if you forego the 'rebel blue' paint.

My own Japanese dream:

I wonder if it's cheating? Unlike the Autozam it looks like a K-car but it's actually a 1.3 liter (like twice the displacement allowed for K-cars)

Add the fact that Honda City's could be had with the best option a car has ever had - the Motocompo.

So, I was trying to find some images of flat/satin black '69 or '70 AMC rebel 2 doors to see if they look as awesome in real life as they did in my head and I came across this thing. I don't care if photo is in black and wire, it looks gorgeous and so much more menacing than the actual Machine.

The stance on that thing is perfection.

It's a shame cars that pretty don't get made anymore. It's all about perfect aerodynamics and safety regulations.

I feel like between cars like the Alfa 4C and (if production looks anything like concept) the new Alpine, we're in a good place as far as light-ish and pretty little cars go

My goddamned 1988 Oldsmobile had directional wheels, that were different ewchy side.

If 80"s GM can do it, it obviously can't be that difficult

1980s Mazda did it too. A pair of mine were on backwards and the old timer at the tire place figured I was full of it when I asked him to switch them around while mounting new rubber

Be aware though, Forza 7 has caught a bad case of the EA microtransactions virus.

After that initial backpedal the loot boxes are fairly ignorable now. I think they're primarily for driver cosmetics
