I'd love to fly to Arizona and drive it back to Winnipeg.

And yet you didn't like the much better looking (and local!) Cutlass I gave you last week.  Mopar or no car eh?  :stick: :P ::) ;D

Looks are subjective.  :)

That's what she said...  ;D

I drive my Lebaron almost daily, no problems yet. As far as 35 yr old cars go its holding up well.

^^ That's awesome, never knew that existed. The 'Dude" they used in the adverts was none other than Don Knotts, a very manly dude!

GMC had a few special trims with odd manly names too, the "Beau James" and "Gentleman Jim' were truck packages in the 70's.

If only it were a short box...and if only people would edit their pictures horizontally...is that too much to ask?

Was looking at AB Classics...I'd like either of these three, please and thank you.  All manual trans.
1949 Chevy Business coupe $8,000
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/lloydminster-ab/1949-business-coupe/1500849949


1993 GMC 1500 $14,000
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/strathcona-county/great-looking-step-side-5-speed/1500251411

That could almost replace the over-priced '67-68's I really like.  This looks better than a square body.

And lastly, one of my favorite cars (changing to Euro bumpers is an easy fix right?)...a:
1981 BMW 633 CSI for $12g - such a sexy car.  Just needs proper BBS wheels (but that one's $27g's...and an automatic  :P)
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/calgary/bmw-633-csi/1500248093


Hmmm...maybe those are the same as the Euro bumpers...

And they're only an LS or Coyote (probably wouldn't fit) swap away from greatness!  ;D 

Or, maybe more in character (i.e. less rowdy), an LS400 V8 or something V8 out of an Infiniti or Genesis.  (New) Supra swap?  But...still a BMW engine so it's gonna break...right?

While I wholeheartedly agree an LS9 would be hilarious and make the car an absolute monster...I think the BMW purists would burn you at the stake. Still......#worthit

A friend has a Euro M6, their inline-6 got much more power than NA and 6 individual throttle bodies.   If you saw and heard it, you wouldn't think it needed an upgrade.

Oh I won't argue that...but if it's anything like their V8s, won't it eat itself if you were to actually drive it?  Mind you a car like that, now, I might only take out on nice sunny days.  More of an occasion car and less a daily commuter.  So if you only put 5,000 km a year on it maybe you'd get a decade out of it. 

Oh, and pics or it didn't happen! (your friends car - and video - would love to hear it too)

I didn't think this was badly priced for a 380SL. May have some issues. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-halifax/1982-mercedes-380sl/1501969463?undefined
Looks like a blemish on the hood.
