| I saw one this morning. I would something negative about it, but I don't want to feel the wrath of the Fiero fanatics. I'll just say that was a model that could have been cool. | |

| I think it took a kind of perverted genius to make a small car feel so big when you drove it. | |
| a Volvo V50 I saw yesterday wore what appeared to be French License plates (oblong red with whit lettering). | |
| I think this would qualify as obscure- I saw an early '80s Jeep Cherokee being driven on the main road this morning (the big Wagoneer-based one, not the smaller XJ series). I know they were popular back in their day but it seems to be getting very difficult to find one now in good condition, as most have already died off. This example I saw, a two-door Laredo, was pretty beat but still ran. How much are these older big Cherokees in really nice, tip-top condition today? | |

| It would help to own your own oil field if you plan on driving one regularly. | |

Ebay time: Never liked these...U-G-L-Y, gawky proportions, etc...but apparently some like them This could be fun...the market for old timers has declined, but Brighton cars still remain strong Probably a lost cause but still a cool front end Only 50 made? What a shame Shifty-mobile I've heard these are a joy to own Ebay is like a dumping ground for mint original Newports I don't know if the wood trim was a good idea Ebay is also a dumping ground for mint Andre-mobiles. This one seems like it wasn't a horrible deal Nice looking Mirada An old Mercedes and Alabama...maybe not a good match. Hint to seller: It's actually a German car Lovely lowline fintail...well worth this bid. |

Damn, why are all the Shifty-mobiles 3,000 miles away? Lancia HPE--a joy only to the person sellling Lancia parts. Piece of junk. Only 50 convertible 200sx made because....nobody wanted any more than that! Yeah, have Italians chop the top off an 80s japanese car...good idea.....not! RE: Supercharged Graham---oh, someone will buy that and fix it up, definitely. They aren't worth that much money but it's an unusual car. The buyer will be buried financially but he'll have something few people have. |

The Lancia HPE was one slick, sophisticated car in it's day, too bad they wre only good for about 5000 miles. That 250S was one of the cars that established Mercedes as a luxmobile brand in the US. I never heard the Daimler SP250 referred to as a Daimler "Dart", perhaps that was limited to the UK. They were indeed extraordinarily ugly which was a shame because it had what the Brit roadster buyers of the day craved, V8 power. |

it's a Hemi Dart, how can ya go wrong?

on his '79 5th Avenue, touting how rare it was. Yeah, it was rare alright...I think of the roughly 55,000 NYers made in '79, "only" 15,000 of them had the 5th Avenue package! And if this guy's only seen two of 'em on eBay over the last year, he must not have been looking very hard! Seems to me like one pops up every couple weeks or so! Still, looks to be a nice car... I like that Mirada too. I always thought the Mopar J-body was one of the few cars that could actually carry off a carriage roof with some grace. Probably the lack of a B-pillar that helps out some. Even with those wheels, I like it! |
