Replying to: fintail (Jul 25, 2008 5:25 pm) 64 Fintail -- a starting bid of $9000? I don't think so. Try openers of $2,500. It's not even an SE for gawd's sake. 300SE - might be worth $2,500 if it's not a complete rust bucket. Needs a lot of work though, so you'll never see paydirt here. Nice ride though...comfy. 79 Dodge with Daytona Wing --- just shoot me now, I don't wish to suffer. 58 Lancia Appia -- these are high quality, wonderful cars and a pleasure to drive, but this one looks pretty incorrect. Engine looks wrong. Bidding is now $4,500, and I don't see it going too much higher. I'd almost bite at $4,500 myself but I'd bring a magnet along. I kinda smell a rat. Bidding might not go too much higher. Lancia collectors are like Studebaker collectors. Enthusiastic tightwads who horde more parts than the factory ever had.

93 Supra GT, a bit steep starting bid, no wonder no one is bidding. Very nice shape though. Another one, but better mileage and price, although an automatic. Anoter one, this time a 98, with cloth, and automatic, and odd looking wheels. Weird combo, good miles, but steep price Integra Type R, rare, not stock. Originals are pretty much impossible to find These will be the cars I'd be willing to blow big bucks on now or i the near future, when I have the means, and only when they'r original. No mods.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 26, 2008 11:48 am) They were talking about that same Magnum in my Mopar club. I think for the most part everyone concurred it was a horrible thing to do to a car, but one guy argued that at least this guy is keeping these things out of the junkyard! Still, I dunno. I love the '78-79 Magnum, but I wouldn't touch that one, so I guess to me it shouldn't matter if it ended up in the junkyard or not! Evidently the guy has a fetish for putting those wings on Magnums. I've heard that the same guy has a bunch of them that he's inflicted this treatment on. I wonder how big of a deal it would be to just take the wing off and fill in the holes? Then all you'd have to worry about is that loud, "ARREST ME" color that simply does not suit that car well at all. These things look much better in dark colors, like black, midnight blue, or even the lighter blues and greens they offered back then. Heck, even brown would look better on this car than that yellow! |

| I'd rather be driving my Volvo 850 than any mid-90s Toyota Supra. I'd get bored rather easily if I owned one of the latter. With the 850, I never get bored with it- it's such a great car to drive, even though the maintenance costs are a little above average. | |
You drove through Bennington, Vermont? Bennington is my hometown! I love it there- small world.
