very close to me, and the price is certainly right... so far.

Hmmm....I dunno, unless you do your own work and do some serious scrounging---if you take it in to have alternator, exhaust system, new AC compressor, etc., you're going to put an easy $1500 into it and the car isn't worth much more than that. Maybe $3250 all shined up and running nice?

That is a funny ad. It starts out describing what great condition the car is in, then the further you read, the worse it gets. Exhaust system, alternator, compressor, audio, etc.
 
If he had started with that, he wouldn't have needed to explain why it was listed as a "parts car". It needs a lot of parts!

Yeah I'm thinkin' that the current bid is really all one should offer for it.

Oh, you know me. No "taking it in." AC not necessary, especially if I'm using it strictly for autoX. So alternator and exhaust and my own blood and sweat? Maybe $500. And, yeah, the current bid is close to right. No more than $1k for that car, methinks.
 
I could also toss a coin between that Z and this Supra. BUTTT... I think I lean towards the Z. The Supra is in nicer shape, and has 40 more hp, but it is also a whopping 500 lbs heavier, according to wiki.

There you go!
 
I saw a couple of those when I was looking for a Miata and ended up in the Celica. I'd have bought one like that but wanted something with a big enough trunk to throw a guitar in. The next generation fit the bill on that but was just hanging out of my price range.

I've been looking at and driving a lot of Miatas. Kinda fun but they feel like little Tonka toys. I like a little more heft and a little more steel on my roadsters or sport coupes.

Lincoln Cosmo looks cool...
 
Is that an early car phone in the dash of the Monte? Looks funny.
 
The "classic" Grand Marquis has really uglu window vents. Otherwise it's in nice shape.
M&M Donk, that's funny. I still don't get the trend.
