When I first met my wife she had an 89 Sundance. It was a reliable car.

Geez, what's wrong with the headliner on this car...?





Its a 25 year old shitbox from Chrysler.....the fact they want $9k for it is hilarious. Thats a $3k car for any serious collector of bad small cars.
Lighten up Francis.....

I am guessing the glue fell holding the headliner up. Something that would be an easy fix and certainly something you would do when asking top dollar+ on a car.

Maybe it's just the way the pics are rendering on my iPad, but it looks like the ceiling of that car has a portal to hell opening up on it. Am I the only one seeing that?

I think I'd rather be in actual hell than have to drive that car.

Nope, definitely a portal to hell. 


Would it be bad form to email them through AT and just send a great big "LMAO  :rofl: :rofl2:  You added one to many 8s.   :P"?  I would hope even Bubba wouldn't be tempted.  (x's fingers)

Asking price dropped by $10,000 USD in case one of you is ready to pounce...

I can't keep myself from ogling this near-perfect, street-spec 427 Cobra from ERA Replicas that's for sale in (the appropriately named) Sunland CA: www.cobracountry.com/cars-for-sale/era-street-version-427-cobra-chastan/

It's not cheap at nearly $70K USD, but it's old enough to be legally imported into Canada. The colour, powertrain and Sunburst wheels are absolutely perfect. The only thing to change would be to swap out the Stewart-Warner gauges for a proper set of Smiths. hubba-hubba-hubba...

No, not tempted by the Sundance.

This Acclaim, however.  I believe the claim it was garaged because the instrument panel needles are not faded.

LOVE that Acclaim! Only drawback is the lousy Mitsubishi 3.0 L oil leaking, valve guide eating, head gasket puking engine.

It reminds me of Renault 16 & 18s. The front looks like a Renault 18 and the back looks like a Renault 16.
