How about this one: estate sale of a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 31.4 km - THIRTY ONE KILOMETERS! The car is new and has never been used !!

Asking is still crazy. Should be listed on BaT...

"Collector car" may be a bit of a stretch.  ;)

If you're stuck on what to get me for Christmas, here's a suggestion.  Six- and eight-cylinder Hemis are always the right size.   ;D

Hemi Sleeper! 1970 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe

472 cu in Hemi
727 Torqueflite

Current eBay bid is over $40,000 USD.

Bubba, you know the 2.6 from the K-cars is also a Hemi?

I should revise my comment then.

I saw that one yesterday, and do read the M/T article linked in the BF posting - quite a build, and no pennies spared! Me, I'd source an oem steering wheel, add ChryCo rallie wheels and call it done. Love the cop-car steelies, but not paired with the paisley top.

Aren’t those things basically indestructible.  My uncle had a couple of the “Big Red” Hondas and I remember driving them when I was only little. 

I actually think they are about as deadly as the current quads and Side by Sides, mainly because the old 3 wheelers weren’t crazy fast and people tended to not be dumbasses on them.  Nowadays all off-road vehicles are ridiculously fast and people are dumber nowadays.

This is the one if you want to kill yourself.

Was powered by roughly the same 250cc 2 stroke as found in Honda's motocross bikes.

My neighbor's kid across the street has one.  Not a kid anymore I suppose at 28 but he still lives at home.  ;D I owned a Big Red when I was 15/16.

The vehicle equivalent of an amp that goes to 11, and that's a good thing.   :skid:

So cool, 1972 220D pickup

Argentinian market model.  There was a 4-door as well.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...
