Cool. Sorry to hear of your loss though. My head has too many dents & scars to be bald. Seriously.

Now THIS is a Landaulet! Considering the price the car should give you a B.J. and do your dry cleaning.... without being asked.

The Sixteen makes this look like a Hyundai XG350. Great idea though, a Landaulet.... love the 1930s throwback concept but that big ugly pillow on the decklid looks like @$$.

Yes, the 427 question was a trick. I beleive the mystery motor moniker has its roots in NASCAR where it was quite a mystery durring development. You didn't fully answer the F40 question. I'll let some others take a crask at them. Your 1st response is 100% correct.

Meee want!

If I was into Fieros like BV I'd think that was the deal of a lifetime! But the next non-B59 I buy for $4500 will be one of two cars: - 1961 Cadillac two-door hardtop - Prewar GM car, or possibly a Mopar. (something pre-war... 1928-37-ish)

- This manufacturer made gorgeous, super-luxurious V-16 powered cars that competed with V16 Cadillacs, they still exist and make heavy duty trucks these days... name the brand. - What was the last production {pillarless} hardtop made by BMW? - what was the first use of the name Durango on a truck? - How many cylinders power a Jaguar XJ220? how about a Ferrari F40? - There was two instances of Nissan/Datsun using American sourced parts for their cars sold here in the USA, one was the borg-warner trans in the Datsun 510, what was the other one? - How many (rotor-end) seals are there on a twin-rotor wankel motor? - What were the horsepower #s on a 1962 Impala SS-427 with dual exhausts?

The closest I've ever come to accomplishing my dream of owning a pre-war car was a 1931 Pontiac that was for sale in upstate NY. It lived from new to the late 1980s in Argentina as a taxicab. It had awsome patina I wanted that car BAD!!!

Like I said in my Grand Vitara thread, the SX4 and Grand Vitara OWN their respective segments! Suzuki makes some ho-hum crap (Reno, Forenza, XL7) but the SX4 and the G.V. are amazing values.

Pink Floyd THE WALL

Good luck either way, not sure whart I can contribute. BTW: If you make 100K why the heck don't you drive a bule/white 1963 Impala SS with four on the foor?

Oh Snap!!!

I'm jelous. I want a Monaro-GTO. It's one of the 0.014% of modern cars that do NOT suck. But seriously, CONGRATS!!!

T-Jett: I've known two people with Berettas (both 2.8 liter V6 powered/5-speed) who got OVER 250K miles out of them. The second one was at 288,000 miles when some jerk bought it off her and blew the motor in like a week "racin' it against a Mustang" but if he had been less of a looser he would have gotten many more years out of it I'm sure. This is the same kid who blew up a Grand National BTW...

Vega, Monza, Celebrity.... ALL (FWD transverse-mounted-motor) 86-up Cadillacs prior to the Northstar powered ones. I've had good experiences with Citations and Chevettes... truth be told.

AGREED (last 2 posts) And... for the record a complete proffessional carb rebuild will cost you $100-$120. That's probably less than an oil chnage & a set of wiper blades at the local Mazda dealer!!!

Oh and if you think $1300 is expensive for your struts... try $2000 on an STS.

Congrats!!! You have a very good insurance company.... 30-days FREE coverage for your unregistered car? My insurance company would laugh at me if I asked about something like that. Best of luck with this one, keep her shinny-side up! I'd rahter have the cream colored one cause I like weird stuff & rare colors.

Very cool custom one-off. I'd buy it if I was Jay Leno or some other millionare. RIP Plymouth. Oh and how about the CHrysler VOYAGER? and even the Prowler was rebadged as a Chrysler for a while, the PT Cruiser was meat to be a Plymouth. That's what sucks, that car alone would have saved the brand.

Cool, sounds like a fun gig. Plus the hours are robably much better than the 60+ I was working as a salesman... at any rate one quick constructive criticism.... that black Cadaver, you only showed the driver's side in all three photos, next time do the rear 1/4 shot so you can see the OTHER side of the car. Otherwise people assume the other side looks bad or is damged. Just speaking from experience. Great job on the listing otherwise. (it's a Cadaver, take it or leave it)

What's illogical about it? You check the fluid through that tube, so why can't you add some through it? That's why it's so wide as compared to the oil dipstick. Stop bitching or we'll give you a BMW where you don;t even GET a dipstick!

I love the CTS, so if it sell well to men & WOMEN then great!!!

Yeah.... and the Cummings is not 8-freeki liters either. The Hino's torque numbers are high, but not 8.0 liters of diesel high. Either way this thing is a joke. Toyota needs to fix ripping body seams, exploding camshafts & a ton of other *cough-cough sludge* problems before they try their hand at the heavy Duty truck market.

90% of the problms you are complaining about can be fixed BY YOURSELF for pennies on the dollar comapred to the Millenia. While you don't get much for $500 I've bought much better old Ameican beaters for less.... then again that's kind of my special talent. This car sounds like my rusty, tired, 140K mile $200 winter beater Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance that I had in 2002. Same basic issues. For the record, this is NOT an indication of the best deal out there for that kind of money! I bet if you gave me two weeks and $400 I'd find a very solid and decent Gbody coupe. You gotta take your time and look at 20 cars before you find that one diamond inn the rough. I probably called about two dozen cars on craigslist before I came upon the Banana Boat, and I narrowed my search down and bought the '76 LeSabre after having looked at a whole bunch of old 70s/80s boats. Law of averages, you can not expect to find a great deal after searching craigslist for 15 min. I'm not a genuis, I don't have many talents but I am cheap and I love to work on old cars and as a result I have developed a special talent when it comes to finding cool cars for under $1000. These days most cars at dealerships for under $4000 are pieces of $h!. They may be new-ish but I'd rather kill myself than drive a 1999 Hyundai Elantra or a 2002 Kia Rio. F*** that. Instead I take my $1K or sometimes even less, and I find the BEST, cleanest, well-running classic or semi-classis car out there, with an owner desperate to sell. It's amazing how these deals come together. The '76 LeSabre was advertised for $1300 o.b.o. when I went to go take a look at it. But the owner REALLY needed to sell and so I gave him my number and eventually when he REALLY needed it gone we settled on a great price. Sure I had to do all the accessory belts, clean the carb, reinstall the stainless steel trim and rattle-can paint the bottoms of the rear 1/4 but I got a very soild car with NONE of the issues you described.

Dear God that greenhouse and front overhang/fender are disgusting.
