Jacques Duval is a legendary Quebec-based auto scribe. He was also quite a racer in his time, Porsches being his track weapons of choice (he even owned a new 904).His old 914-6 race car just went for $995,000 at Gooding&Co. One of 16 factory race versions built in 1970, Duval placed it first at the '71 Daytona 24 hrs in its category.Duval was a good writer and a good driver, but not a good investor as he let go of these cars way too early. He's in his 70's now and has become a full-tilt Tesla slappie, of all things.https://auto.lapresse.ca/guide-auto/porsche/202001/27/01-5258404-record-pour-la-porsche-de-jacques-duval.php
Looks like a Euro-market model since it lacks the side-indicators and has amber indicators in the taillights.
That's cool in a weird way...Though the safari thing has gone overboard...
Timely find...https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-ford-bronco-ii-3/
We had a '88 Bronco II for a while. The windows were nice. It was tippy for sure but we never rolled it. Ours overheated on a regular basis and had an nasty engine knock. Super rusty even back then but the interior held up well.

Maybe.Ron might have some regrets about selling his Supra based on the numbers some of them are pulling lately, yikes. One of my car-enthusiast buds lives in Vangrooy and a friend of his dropped just over $100K for a 97 Supra Turbo, and was happy as hell at that price.If they bought the car for $4,000 up front, then the storage cost plus purchase price would be $25,000. $14,000 is still a huge loss.1986 Dodge Omni Shelby GLHSSold for $14,750There's still three days to go.

Thing must drive terrible, looks like it's about to tip over sitting still.

Ekk. The 2.9L engine was garbage as well (in general and my specific one).
I sadly never got mine off road as I could never trust it not to over heat.
