Sweet.  Who do we know in Alberta with lots of disposable income?

Bidding is already up to US$10,000 - with six days left...

Low mileage winter beater 105,000 km

Even with the low kms that’s pretty big money for an 02. I’d rather pay the same for a later one with higher mileage. The 04-07 models with the 3.3L are just much more desirable.

There's no substitute for cubic inches.  451-Powered 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T.

https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/sparks-1976-dodge-aspen-t/6796848741.html





Damn...that thing is gross...ly overpowered!  It would be awful...ly fast I bet.  I love how a car like that has a 90 mph speedometer, and the high end Rav 4 gets one that goes to 140 mph.  Ahhh...the 70's.  Nice find as usual Bubs.

Looks surprisingly good for that many miles. That facelift was awkward thought.

Hey Chaos - one for you.

I like it. Oh if I could only have a 15 car garage...
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

 :drool:  pretty much how I'd spec out one... less chrome under the hood though & more of a driver grade for me though.

^^Yup, love the split bumper.   A friend had one when I was a kid, I wanted it so bad, but it rusted out worse than I could handle by the time he sold it.

Gen 2 Camaros are actually solid performance platforms despite their age and solid rear axle.

They can be built into shockingly fast cars, and not just in a straight line. They’re vastly superior to the Gen 1 cars in terms of the basic chassis.

I’d love to do a light resto-mod 70 or 71, but prices of solid cars are now too high.

Don't need a solid car for a resto-mod...you'll be replacing damn near everything anyways...

The independent rear end on this one would really make it handle well I think.
