That 510 would be a lot of fun.

I'd change the wheels on the 240.

The Conquest still looks great.

Yes to all of that. The rims on the 240 are utterly disgusting and that 510 is gorgeous

I had a 510 with a 1600 SSS engine that I swapped out for an 2L. Even though I relocated the battery to the trunk, the increased weight of the 2L really affected the balance. The car was squirrely and tail happy as all get out. The 1600 engine was actually more fun, even though the 2L was faster.

This front end is for sale. No price I bet cheap being a less desirable year. I should buy it and weld it onto the front of my 1992 Mustang.

Sold his little old Civic (just bought last summer...no wait...summer before, damn time flies) to the first person on the day after he listed it.  He wanted a manual then, but we couldn't find one we liked.  My brother went with and made him do all the talking and negotiating.  They also test drove a Subaru Imprezza, which my bro really liked (AWD, could put it sideways for some fun in the snow, just like I taught him he laughed) but my nephew went with the Mazda (probably the smarter choice anyway).  Should be a good/great car, right?  He's a studious ogre, I'm sure he will know all of the facts, and if not him, his younger brother will have done even more sleuthing.

Nice car.  I started off thinking that's a decent price for a 2016, but then realized that it's 2021 (already!!!) so that car is effectively 5 years old.  So, it's a fair price.  Still, nice car, and should serve him for a long time without any problems.

Lowish kms and they looked at another one down the road at another dealer, same year, more km, $2000 more, and all scratched up, like someone put cookie sheets on it and just dragged them across.  Or cats or dogs.  The salesman there said, go for the other one...he can't touch it.

Should be a good car for him. Same spec as my sister's even the colour. Her's is  a 15 though.

Watch out for the rear brakes. They wear quickly and I think there was a recall on them with  something to do with the parking brake.

An '82 Citation V6 5-door was one of the two cars my parents owned when I got my license.  The other was an '83 Sentra 4-door.

This car brings back a ton of great memories for me.  I had an '82 Civic 1500GL, with the same powertrain, that I would love to have back.  $8k with 5 days to go!

My late uncle had a car just like this in the early 80's.  It was fun to go cruising with him.
