That yellow Corvette seems downright reasonable! The others ... wow.

This Dodge is probably not the top of the desirable list but seems reasonably priced for a vintage driver.

When was the last time you saw one of these on the road?

Time for some local crack pipes...


I was going to comment on each vehicle, then I decided that "just plain nuts" would cover it.

$32800 for a f$%king FWD Monte Carlo, the size of crack pipe must be massive. Jesus, thats a trailer park special car if I've ever seen one.

I was thinking the same thing! A lot of house for not too much money.

Here's what double that money gets you in my neighbourhood right now. And my area is somewhat affordable for its location.

Gurgie, here's what that kind of money buys in my neck of the woods:

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26937999/84-anabelle-crescent-moncton

And here is a nice mid-century in the central part of the city that got butchered with updates (this would have been much more attractive in its original state at say $500k).

That kind of money barely covers a 2 bedroom condo in my 'hood - values went through the roof in the years after we built.

Well...looks like I can't even afford to move to Moncton.  Put the "budget" at $250,000...and it's mostly shite at that price even there.  Fredricton no better.  Guess MB is where it's at!  ;D :rofl: Or at least Emerson. 

This one is right behind the big brick house...
https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27328661/32-fourth-street-emerson-r17

And this one is across from my neighbours to the south...
https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27315031/145-dominion-street-emerson-r17

And if you want to start your own cult...there's a church for sale on the same block!  Kitty corner.  I was thinking it'd make a nice doggie daycare...though it'd get no clients since everyone leaves their dogs at home.  Or works from home.  Or doesn't have a job...price has dropped from $250 to $200 now $185!!

Was sold to a group of Sikh's IIRC but then their Boss Preacher came out from India and yanked the deal.  Town too small.  Didn't like it.  His wife died...no deal!  Some BS anyway.  They smelled nice...opened the doors on their fancy SUV's when they pulled up and the wind was just right I could smell them over my dog taking a shi#...the headache in those things must've been enormous.  1 spritz boys...save some for next time.  ;D

Not even sure those would make good revenue properties...if you could get $500/mo rent...and knowing the kind of tenant's you'd get...probably never be paid off.

Oh there's enough trees between...no worries.  Plus I've never met those people, chances are we'd never meet either.  Well...unless you made an effort.  :stick:

The problem with cars like these, outside of the price tag of course, is that what would you even do with it?  You can't drive it much because the value of it would be impacted negatively.  Super cool, but I'd rather it have some miles on it so you wouldn't feel bad taking it out for some road trips.

Not to mention, who knows what work it might need since it basically just sat for 25 years.

But if it's part of a collection you could drive it regularly and not put too many KMs on. I only put 2k on the Jag in the year I've had it and I drive it several times a week but obviously only short trips around town.
