Got to love a low mile Lexus LS.  Price isn’t terrible but if I was in the market for one my starting bid would be $10k.  Love in the description how much power it has.

That'd be kinda sorta tempting if it wasn't gold.

How much would a good wrap job cost?

I feel like they're around $3k? Not sure though.

Just realized I know exactly where that LS lives. Fredericton is a small town.  :)

1980 Formula Turbo anyone?  Only $13,900! (seems like a smokin' deal with what people are asking for total garbage these days - looks real nice on the inside too)  Perfect for a 2.7 Turbo swap from a new Caddy right? Double the HP and half the cylinders.



How about a 1971 MGB for $8500?


Even this...I like it.  1998 GMC shorty 2WD for $13,900. Cheap!  ::) :P ;)


I wonder if this guy would take a trade.  Fusion for Mustang seems more than fair right?
1999 GT convertible, $10,500 - mostly tasteful mods.  Hard to see - took good pics but they're still shiTty pics.  Too sunny maybe??


And the car I should've bought back in 89.  Needs work.  But again look at anything that's in better shape...and WTF!?!?!!  $25-40g!!  :o :fall:
$6500 '89 LS 5.0 ragtop.

If the floors are gone, makes you wonder how bad the rest of it is.  Torque boxes and all.  Needs a whole new aftermarket tube chassis.  Might as well get the '99 then instead.

That shorty is a rare spec I'd think. Absolute base model with the sealed beam headlights and 2WD but it has the 5.7. Neat.

the 1999 mustang looks descent.  I would check compression on the pistons.. ;D

Would have made a fun highschool burnout machine for cruising around town. Likely super cheap new too

I wonder how much boost that 301 Pontiac can handle.  Writer, Elana Scherr, has hopped up her's a little.

Edit: messaged her Tuesday afternoon.  She replied "minimal mods, basically a stock set up".  The car ran 16.09 @ 87 in Tucson (over 3,000 feet elevation).

That GMT400 is a beaut, as well as the Foxbody. For the Firebird, that would be getting the best LS3 and the 6spd tremec I could find out of a wrecked Camaro. Those look so awesome as resto mods.
Lighten up Francis.....

Pre-facelift 430s are so ugly compared to '04-06 cars... also it's beige so I'm out.

Here's a Chrysler product that wasn't around very long; the Dodge Rampage.
This one has the 2.2L with a 5 speed manual. Looks to be in very good condition, including the bordello red interior.

The Firebird made me look, despite the requisite full sun vertical phone pics. Here's a mid-restoration TTA with a fresh rebuilt engine and plenty of new parts - including the awesome Turbo Screaming Chicken - new in boxes.

I had an 85 Charger with same powertrain and colour. I remember the heater controls to the left of the driver. I had heard they were reviving the Rampage name for a small unibody pickup similar to the Maverick.

^^ The dealer selling this usually offers the cleanest used Benzes that you've ever seen. He's one of the top sellers on BaT. First non-Benz I notice on offer from him!
