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.

The 57 wagon is relatively cool
 
The Rambler got duplicated.
 
The Beetle looks to be a 72 body with early 60s fenders - those headlights and tailights are certainly not from 72.
 
Mercury = not a classic, more like the end of malaise.
 
The wannabe donk is hilarious...80s MB aftermarket style steering wheel and all.

'53 Vette -- strong money for that car. I loved this sentence:
 
"numbers matching car with the exception of having a 54 block"
 
Uh.....since "matching numbers" means the block # matches the VIN #, then this is another way of saying NOT matching numbers....
 
Good car for someone who has a Vette collection and needs that year to complete the set, but as a "car", it's not much to drive. I'm thinkin' the seller has to look at his 2009 calendar as well as read the Wall Street Journal tomorrow. Probably about half his asking price is where it's at right now, maybe $175K.
 
1991 Mercury Marquis -- oh, these are "classics" now? Excuse me while I go somewhere and shoot myself.
 
66 Rambler coupe -- nobody cares. Donate it.
 
51 Ply Cranbrook convertible -- a "street rod project"?!! Philistine!! They only made roughly 4,000 of these throughout 1951 & 1952. Rare car, don't butcher it.
