#16646 of 17968 During lunch... by andre1969 Jul 01, 2009 (10:05 am)
I ran some errands in my '76 LeMans, and drove some back roads. Spotted a 1974 or so Corvette in a driveway, and a '66 T-bird landau, on jackstands, in another. Primer gray, looking a bit forlorn, and with a for sale sign in the window.
#16647 of 17968 in the past week.... by ghulet Jul 01, 2009 (2:23 pm)
....I saw:   67 (pretty sure only because of the steering wheel, 67-69s look alike to me) Thunderbird coupe, black, quite nice 10-footer (so-so amateur paint)   67 red Firebird 400 convertible, owned by the local Pozoleria guy, he's selling (wants something like $28k, eeek---I keep trying to remind myself that this was a $4k mass-produced car when new)   80(?) Trans-Am turbo Pace Car (white, prisine, had that nice, thick checked velour interior, those turbine-y looking wheels, T-tops, the contact paper dash, power windows and the cool Trans-Am steering wheel)   beat up 66 Buick Electra 225 coupe, I see all the time; can't imagine one as a daily driver, for the gas usage alone   the most beautiful example, if that's an adjective we can use for one, Checker Marathon station wagon, dark green (I think they stopped making these way before the sedans....this looked late-60s, if judging purely by smallish bumpers)

Replying to: gsemike (Jul 01, 2009 5:42 am) Saw one in the showroom at the dealership last week... Up close, you don't really notice how severely it slopes..   Plus, the one I saw was an M-model... Twin turbo V-8.. $81K
#16649 of 17968 X6.... by ghulet Jul 01, 2009 (9:11 pm)
....I saw one, I just thought it was mammoth and awkward; if you want a utility vehicle, just get one, I don't get the crossover thing, at least not at this price point. I can think of many cars (or maybe two or three cars that cost a total of) I'd rather have for $81k. Eeek. Replies to this message: gsemike (Jul 02, 2009 4:06 am)
#16650 of 17968 I Just Saw a British "Sterling" (Honda Accord) by martian Jul 01, 2009 (10:02 pm)
Wow, how did the Brits botch this one up? I mean, it was basically a Honda-with all of the bugs worked out. The Brits just had to add leather seats and some nicer "English" touches-so how did this marque go so horribly bad? The one I saw was a sad little rat- dented and making blue smoke. Are they worth anything? Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 7:39 am)

Replying to: ghulet (Jul 01, 2009 9:11 pm) The idea didn't work when it was an AMC Eagle and it doesn't work now

Replying to: martian (Jul 01, 2009 10:02 pm) I think those cars ended up with the worst of Japanese and British traits.

I saw this thing on a highway in podunk yesterday:     Looked pristine and restored, early model, and it wasn't on fire or wobbling or anything like that. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 03, 2009 11:54 am) fintail (Jul 03, 2009 3:46 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 7:39 am) Wow, a Series I XJ6 is a very rare animal. Pretty good snapshot, is that from a cellphone? Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 3:46 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 24, 2009 7:16 am) That Volvo may be a good C4C candidate...maybe, possibly, assuming..., but from your description of the driver, he probably wouldn't qualify for a loan. Ya never know, though. He could be a rich eccentric masquerading as a, well, poor eccentric.
