Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 25, 2009 6:22 pm) is that an air cooled vdub engine in the back? i like the seller wiped out the licence plates in all the pictures, except #7 which is reflected in the left wind screen. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 26, 2009 4:05 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Feb 26, 2009 3:48 pm) Yes that's a mighty VW engine back there, instead of that stupid ol' supercharged overhead cam straight 8 that silly Alfa used.   (pocher kit)
#16962 of 19424 Projects and non projects from Vancouver: by boomchek Feb 28, 2009 (2:30 pm)
Merc wagon - Looks like in decent shape   Mk 1 Midget   Old Saab   "Future collector's item"- not for $20k   Renault Gordini- isn't this the Renault that Dacias were based off?   Clean Cordoba for Andre   Studie   And one from Edmonton:   Junk Eldo -"Car was restored with $5k spent on paint 10+ years ago Why would a 10 year old car at the time require restoration. Who cares about the paint if it's all peeled now. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 28, 2009 5:26 pm) fintail (Feb 28, 2009 6:26 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Feb 28, 2009 2:30 pm) 79 Eldo Biarritz --- Crusher   61 MG Midget --- at $2,500, it's about $2,000 overpriced. You can buy these real nice for $4K-$5K and Pebble Beach for $7,500.   1961 Saab --- might be worth the asking price. These are highly respected collectible cars these days, regarded as FWD pioneers and aerodynamically charming. The 2-stroke engine had better be okay, though, as it runs a roller bearing crankshaft, and if you need a new one, it's going to double the price of the car, because you'll have to make one most likely.   84 Cadillac Biarritz Conv -- a "future collectible" that's been a future collectible all its life. The future--future seems to recede as the now--future becomes the present. This could go on well into the 22nd century at this rate.   Renault Gordini -- cool car, might be worth the money just for the weirdness of it. Probably fun to drive.   78 Merc Wagon -- big old wagons are starting to be worth some money, but 1978 models are pushing the trend and might be too new to cash in.   31 Studebaker --- rat rod, good idea for this car.

Replying to: boomchek (Feb 28, 2009 2:30 pm) That big Mercury Truckster should be worth it. $3K CDN = $2400 US....no harm done, and when was the last time you saw one so clean?
#16965 of 19424 4WD supply house by gsemike Feb 28, 2009 (10:24 pm)
Guys, can anyone recommend a good 4WD supply house? I need new rear suspension bushings for my 97 Pathfinder and the dealer only sells the complete links, not just a bushing kit.   Even better, can any of our internet slueths send me a link for a busing kit?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 20, 2009 7:39 pm) The Boxster S is by far the most advantageous deal for you financially, if indeed you only have to kick in a few thousand. If it's really nice it should bring $17,000 easy. So you are okay there, and it's certainly the best driving of all the car you either have or have mentioned.   The guy's original email said mid teens for the Boxster. Next email he slipped it up to mid-high teens. So that means $17.5, I am guessing. And I suspect he wants my car at $12-$12.5, and there is still the matter that the car is a ten hour drive away. So the deal lost a bit of its luster. The wife is really pushing me to acquire some sort of car with a usable back seat first anyway. I suppose she is right.

Replying to: lemmer (Mar 01, 2009 6:50 am) The guy is jerking you around---forget it.
