Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 07, 2009 7:08 am) think I'll have to email the seller. Although I dunno if I'd truly be interest anyway. I mean, those things were just so choked by emissions I can't imagine them being much fun. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 07, 2009 8:19 am) Yeah, unfortunately by that time, I think the Camaro was all show and no go. That link I posted listed the 305 as having 150 hp in California and 165 elsewhere. I think they were both 4-bbl carbs, it's just that the 165 hp version was a bit hotter. It lists the 350 at 175 hp. Now it's possible that that particular car has been hopped up, so it might be more fun than it "should" be...especially with the stick shift!

Hi fortee9er! Looks like you ended up in the wrong place here. I'm going to move your question to the Ford Ranger Topic where you are much more likely to get a good response. This section is for classic cars. We'll see you over there! MrShiftright Host

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 07, 2009 8:19 am) I think you'd have a lot more fun if you could find a clean '83 GTI, all 90 hp of it! |

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 07, 2009 12:05 pm) When I click on the Riviera link, I get directed to that Corvette that's hiding in the trees. What year Riv was the ad? |

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 07, 2009 12:05 pm) MGB - Those hood pins just don't look right Junk M3 - why bother? Mustang - 100' photos, too scary up close! BMW 630 - OK, how many '77 630s have you seen sell for $30k? Cutlass - 'Car complete minus engine'... |

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 07, 2009 12:05 pm) MGB-- might be a good buy if the rust isn't too bad. In the UK they wouldn't think twice about changing the oil and cutting out the rockers as a matter of habit. It's a unibody car though, so rust inspection is VERY important. Restore it? Only by yourself, as a hobby. 1999 M3 -- Acme Auto Wrecking. 71 Mustang -- doubtful it's worth it. Needs a look to be sure. Just go buy a nice one for little $$$. No reason you can't get a spiffy V8 coupe for $8K 78 Mini-- Acme Auto Wrecking 56 Imperial -- might be a good buy. Get noticed for real cheap! These were good cars. BMW 630 -- neither rare nor classic I fear. His estimate of value at $20K-$30 is sheer lunacy, beyond even exaggeration. Nobody cares about these cars, which is too bad. Nice highway cruisers, good engines, pricey to restore. Major defect includes driveshaft problems, marginal AC and electrical bugaboos. Better that you buy a nice one already done for $6,000 or so. 72 Cutlass -- might be a good buy. Worth a look. Once done it might be worth $25K--$30K if you do it up nice. Not a 442. Me? I'd just fix it up, get a decent quickie paint job and enjoy it for what it is. 1972 is post Golden Years. Stop at $15K total investment or don't bother to start.
