OK, so it’s a ticking time bomb with 25,000 miles on the clock, but timebombs don’t come much prettier, unless they’re Italian...

OMG I want...  :drool: :lick: :inlove:  There are 2 white one's in MB for sale...been online all winter...maybe longer.  Wonder if the blue one will sell faster.  I guess despite being the performance bargain of the decade, it's a lower model than the 2SS...so unlike Porsche who takes things away and charges more for (not having) them...Chevy's done it how it makes sense...right?  Anyway...the pics...the ad...the dream.

I think I'd take that over a new Mustang...all day long.  Not that I'd turn my back on my old friend...but sexier is sexier...and who doesn't like to see a middle aged turd popping out of an SS? How is THAT not sexy?  ;D Good thing it has gunslit windows.  :P (wonder if I can even get in and out...stupid knees... >:()

"The exterior is finished in silver, and a claw mark is present across the logo decal on the hood. This was caused by a bear when the truck was in Colorado, and the hood does not sit perfectly flush because of the run-in with the creature. The seller decided to leave that blemish as is, but has recently repaired multiple small dings and had two door chips touched up."

Yes but not that particular one. They never sold the Pony pickups here which was a shame.

The X-11 was pretty cool for it day though. They are sharp looking in a Volvo 240 boxy sort of way.

The 240 was well built, RWD and was never embarrassing to be seen in. The Citation is about as cool as a Camaro with an iron duke in it, all hat, no cattle (thank you Sir O for that little gem  ;D)
