Wow that is rare, and cool, and ugly at the same time.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

The No2 aluminium-bodied Cheetah prototype is listed for the first time since 1969:

Just look at the driving position in the video!

And, yes, with that engine placement, the transmission is directly bolted to the diff.

Looks beautiful! But sitting right on the rear axle like that, ouch. Must ride harder than an old jeep

Nice shade of green, though.

That Cheetah is so damn cool; not only is it striking to look at, it carries a really cool story too, love it.

The 1st Gen Avalanche, while a GMT800 so it'll last forever, looks too strange for me to really like it. Though it's hard to dislike anything with an 8.1L

Not to mention it's riding on one of the best OEM truck wheels that ever existed.

Posted some stuff for sale on kijiji and FB marketplace yesterday.  First time posting on FB.  Had 5 serious buyers from FB by last evening and nothing from kijiji.  Buyer coming to pick up tonight.  Had good luck using kijiji in the past but last couple of times had no inquiries at all.  Looks like I'll be using FB Marketplace going forward.

Sadly no. Pretty shitty spec overall.

I noticed that starting a couple years ago, FB Marketplace killed Kijiji unfortunately. I like that marketplace gives you a little more insight into the seller, but the search function is still dismal.

I sold my Lexus for the first time through FB Marketplace but yes the reviews are nice.  Kijiji is always full of glitches too, at least for me.   Both are a cesspool of scams though.    FB is way more active, I got 30+ message within 2 hrs.

Overall I prefer Kijiji but certainly Facebook Marketplace is taking over. Its harder to find either via search or categories. Other Classics under $3000 on Kijiji used to be my spot to look.
