As long as you get it very cheap and realize it will never be worth much...the only Morris Minors that bring any money or appreciate (a bit) in value are the convertibles and woodies.....also RHD is the kiss of death for resale.
 
Make sure that first gear isn't noisy...typical issue with MM.
 
And don't expect to drive on a modern freeway without major anxiety.
 
My opinion: A nice "ice cream car" to take the kids 4 blocks to the store.

red 1966 Dodge Dart 270 two-door. It kind of had a fastback roof.

a bright yellow TR-6, chrome bumper (no black nodes). Very shiny.
 
This has always been my favorite old sports car for some reason. I just really like them.

Over the past couple of days...
 
BMW 2002 probably a 1975 or 76 as it looked kind of dumpy and was in rough shape.
 
Subaru SVX in very nice shape. I always liked that car pity it wasn't made with a manual and a little bit lighter.
 
For Torino Cobra. Also very nice with period correct wheels and lots of grumbly exhaust.
 
Side note for Shifty.
 
My email is screwed up for some reason and I can't log into it, which is very bad because it probably means I am losing money, I should know something about that D110 tomorrow.

I saw a pristine bustleback yesterday. It was single tone grey, and surprisingly enough it had no carriage or vinyl top, no fake RR grille, no continental kit or trunk straps...it was very uncluttered (save for the basic design). I'm sure they drive terribly and I know 1980 is the only year you want...but I kind of like them.

I'm kinda the same way about those bustleback Sevilles. I know some people would say that they have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but I always liked 'em. They do look good with a plain, exposed roof.
 
I did drive one that was at a used car lot, oh, about 15-16 years ago. It wasn't an '80 though. I forget the year, but it had the aluminum 4.1. Its handling didn't do anything to scare me, but then again, I was used to bigger cars like that anyway.
 
Funny though, leave it to the domestics to come up with something that's FWD, has an independent rear suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes, and STILL gets ragged on!

Does anyone have a site for pictures of old Saabs so I can identify one? I saw it bouncing along Wednesday evening> It looked like the Citroens did, tapered toward the rear like a fish. It reminded me of why foreign cars had the reputation they did in the Midwest back in the 70s and 80s.

AMC in Thailand? by martian
Jun 16, 2006 (11:28 am)

I was watching the old James Bond flic last night (THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN" and it seems that AMC sold a lot of cars in thailand, in the 1970's. i once heard that this was because the thais hated the japanese-and would not allow the importation of japanese cars. so is thailand the place to go to buy an old AMC? is it an asian version of Cuba (where old American cars stay alive)?
