A 1964 Buick Riviera. It seems to be a pretty solid car and was definitely taken care of. Personally, I really like the look behind the car and would give it a up. My only complaint, though minor, would be the spoke, I guess to call it, that comes with the rim. I think, without the spoke there and just the hubcap, It would look better, but It's minor.

What am I missing here? Yeah, the wheels are atrocious, but the black one is easily worth $2K by itself, and probably more if there isn't anything wrong with it besides the things he mentioned. Personally I'd have no interest in the red one - I know, it's sacrilege to consider scrapping a Corrado, but it really doesn't seem worth the effort to put an engine and transmission into it - but at that price it's basically free.

 

You know, I sold a set of 7 BBS RAs identical to the one with the flat tire several years ago. I wonder if that's one of them.

If the black one is as clean as it looks that's a bit of a billy bargain. G60s are getting expensive round here. The wheels are sh*t though and I'd want to see receipts for the charger rebuild, as a grenading G-Lader will kill the whole engine. G60s are better than VRs IMO, sweeter handling and faster with bolt-ons. Still miss my old BBR Lysholm charged one.

 

Assuming the shell is straight, that red one us ripe for a 1.8T conversion. Based on the angle of that front wheel, something's broken badly though.

That's what I was thinking. If it was a good shell and it only required dropping in the engine and transmission, I could definitely see the appeal in it, but it looks like a mess from the front. I have to imagine there's a reason it's being included for, again, basically nothing.

1963 Chevrolet Impala that could use some work but for $6,500 it's not a bad bargain for a real life lowrider.

1979 Pontiac Phoenix... first time I've heard of this car. Really do like the interior, especially those seats...

2001 Plymouth Prowler that comes with a pretty kick ass trailer that is based on the car also. $33,900 and It has 25,000 miles on it.

Went to look at this a few days ago, £8500, 48k miles. Pretty tidy.

That can't be road-legal in the UK...

They're basically like the '80s mini trucks we've had for years (e.g. Suzuki Every Landy, Suzuki Carry/Beford Rascal), just now the occupants sit behind the front axle for crash safety. Driver's airbag is an optional extra as part of a £1,000 option package.

I genuinely didn't know it was legal to sell cars in the UK without ABS.

Not really feeling the velour seats, but I still think it's pretty neat.

This is super cool, and the price is fantastic. It's probably too good to be true, but if I was in the market for a weekend toy I'd be very interested. I'd want different wheels though, smaller with thicker tires. Those just look out of place on that car.

 

Edit dos: ah, I see, bill of sale only. That definitely explains why it's so cheap. I have no idea how hard it would be to get a title for it apparently not very, at least in this area. I mean, in California it would be so much hassle it wouldn't be worth it, but it would be very easy here. If only I were in the market for a toy.

Not in my area, but a friend in Texas sent me this to make me jealous. I've seen these things sell for more with +250K miles, this thing is a god damn steal.

I'd have to repaint it immediately, but I still want Dentside (73-79) Ford truck oh so badly.

$5700 and it's located nearby my place. I'm beginning to suspect that this is my old car, since mine had its roof racks removed, and had the exact same black wheel arch extensions (since the original one got destroyed in a tire accident). Shame that they removed the side step, but good thing they put the original chrome bumpers back, since my dad body-colored the bumpers and I kinda hate it. Wish I had a pic of my old car.

1974 Firebird Olds V8, runs, rough all over. $650 n-129

Guys, am I blind, or is this euro trim? US trim has cut outs for the side markers, euro is completely solid because they didn't have the markers, and a full set of euro trim is both hard to find and expensive (current price for full set on eBay is $140). Hell, fronts by themselves usually run this much, and the rears are almost impossible to find.

 

Atlanta is a three hour drive for me but I'm very seriously considering it for these. This guy doesn't know what he has.

It has a salvage title, which makes it cheap

330bhp/330lb ft Litchfield tweaked Forester STI:

Such a nice looking Trans Am deserves to be restored.

Looks pretty damn sleek without the rear spoiler.

Looks really dope though. I know buying cars with salvage titles can be silly, but it looks like it was restored well. Definitely could be a project car.

 

Found this incredibly beautiful Alfa.

 

 

And this awesome classic Charger. Looks like it was cared for pretty well.

One owner with excellent history Infiniti G35 in pristine condition with a manual transmission and no rust for $5,000.

 

 

 

 

Someone get out there and buy it!

 

Edit: Wow this video is excellent at explaining how to inspect cars in general. When I heard "Hi this is Joe from Infiniti" I thought the video was going to be a waste of time promo, but it's actually really informative.

But for $5000 they also have this on the lot:

Some interesting cars there, also an '06 Magnum R/T with 345hp, an '04 Mercedes E500 with 300hp, a tidy looking VW GTI 2.0T, and an '02 Mustang. All for about $5k.

 

Plenty to choose from if you were in the area.....

This is one of those "if I won the lottery" cars for me. 1995 E31 850CSi - 1 of 225 in the US. Basically the closest you can get to an M Sport E31:

 

 

While the M8 was never produced, it is interesting to note that the 850CSi was also tuned by BMW's M division. Aside from sporting an M-tuned engine (as identified by the S prefix instead of the M prefix that a non-M tuned engine would bear), the car's VIN identifies the car as being built by BMW Motorsport (a WBS prefix) instead of BMW AG (WBA prefix). Per BMW's own protocol, the 850CSi as marketed was essentially a de-tuned version of the putative M8.

I'm not a fan of the wheels (I'd prefer it with Schnitzer Type 3s, throwing stars or M Pars personally) but everything else is just insane. I can't believe it has 140K miles on it, that interior looks showroom new. All around, this is an amazing vehicle, and I'm envious of whoever picks it up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[sivispacem]

The wheels (initially thought Breyton?) and M-sport badges are a big "no" from me, but the rest of it is lovely.

[sivispacem]

Quite like the look of this.

 

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201603302468895

 

300bhp, 260lb ft, AWD, 0-60 in under 6 seconds. Loaded with pretty much everything- heated and cooled memory seats, ACC, parking camera, Dynaudio...handsome thing too.

I hated that generation of the Phaeton at first, but I'll admit it grew on me, mostly because it's such an oddball. It really tried to be different, which seems pretty rare with most of the newer sedans I've seen. The launch model Phaeton, though, holy sh*t that's an amazing car. I think that's the only VW sedan that could pull me away from BMW, although I could never afford one.

[sivispacem]

It's a CC, Passat based, rather than a Phaeton.

[Pat]

sh*t, ever since I first saw the CC I thought it was the new Phaeton, and I'm not really sure why in hindsight. I did think the interior looked a little lacking for the latter, I definitely see the Passat in it. Honestly, my knowledge of everything German post-2005 is pretty lacking.
