, but old Porsche prices are just nuts these days.

Understatement.

Not an old Porsche, but I watched a 2,100-Mile 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 6-Speed sell for $202,000 on Monday. I have no idea if that's a good price, but the auction sure was interesting.

Seems like a good price, saw some used GT3s online and they were listing for well over that.

How Reliable are 7.3 old Ford diesels? ...lol

Fantastically reliable, that thing would be a great long haul RV with a couple of Banks diesel parts thrown at it

Saw this one another site. Kinda retro and cool. Probably not for me but neat.

Love the louvers !!!

They go so well with certain period vehicles

Oddly, I don't like them on f-bodies....Too big and disrupt the sleek lines of that rear window. I had a set that came on a Trans Am I bought years ago, removed and listed the louvers on kijiji, sold in a few hours with a ton of interest

Gotta admit they look better on cars with flying butresses, as demonstrated by the above MX-5 RF.

Or on cars with flat fastback windows:

Winter project for firm:

$2,500 1980 TR7 convertible

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-voiture-collection/ouest-de-lile-qc/triumph-tr7-1980/1565710399

Needs, according to the listing:

Carb job - one is "dry"
Floors were done to Ontario standard, but not Quebec standards (

) so need redone
Brakes, steering & suspension need work
Speedo cable
Loose steering
New tires required

Terrible list for a commuter, but not that bad for a British roadster. Edit: really like this colour on it, and yes it has the tartan seats!

Man that thing looks like it could be an ex hearse. I always wonder just how difficult to get parts on something like that is when things go wrong.

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #7354 on:** October 26, 2021, 10:39:56 am »

Love the colour on that TR7, very similar to my TR8.

Firm · « **Reply #7355 on:** October 27, 2021, 11:18:36 am »

Miss my TR8....

I've been tempted by TR7's before because the looks have grown on me, and they're sooo cheap....There's usually 2-3 decent ones to pick from locally for <$4K at any given time. Way cheaper than an MGB, Spitfire, or even a decent NA Miata. Value for an entry level toy/sports car is there, but they still don't seem to get much interest.

There's a definite ... wedge ... between TR7 and TR8 prices :

Yeah, I sold my TR8 real quickly and for great $. I'd buy another TR8 in a heartbeat.
