I think that maybe the work of the Sebring/Corvair hybrid some pages back. He was selling his Corvair creation to make room for the new project. I assume this is it. How is this profitable? Keeps a blind guy busy? I dunno.

That's no Sebring, that's an Intrepid.  The Longitudinal 3.5 V6 says as mich

There was a Sebring,a few pages back undergoing a similar transformation.

Yeah, I vaguely remember

Apparently this one belonged to a nun and was purchased from her estate. One flying nun, I'll say. I love the basic trim of this one, the 350/3 speed manual combo and most of all the virginity of this Firebird - most if not all get the "mullet treatment" with big blocks, huge tires, jacked up rear ends, etc.

That Firebird is really nice. I spotted one similar tonight, but that bright metallic blue they came in, looked very stock. Was in a driveway with a little old lady out watering her flowers, car had early 90's plates on it, I was rushing to an appointment so I didn't stop, but you better believe I'll be going back there soon.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Apparently "Dad" also had a Gullwing. Or borrowed one at some point. Took Kennedy's wife for a tour of Montreal in it. The mechanic who came last week to fine-tune the TR6 is wrenching on that SL too. Classic cars and the famous behinds they carried!

You can ask anything you want. The only crazy thing would be if somebody paid that. Of course somebody paid over US$1/2M for an old Supra because it was in a movie so there are stupid people around.

That's probably more of a $40k car.

It's a Type R, so yes.  Yes it is.
