I suppose you don't care about the two perfectly good trees they cut down either.

They were not sympathetic characters.
It was time for them to leave.
I see what you did there.
Much like Dante in Clerks, they weren’t even supposed to be there.
If this was just about any other muscle car than a ford, I'd be possibly interested.
Camaro, Chevelle, nova, charger, challenger, super bee, gto, 442, etc
Restoration of barn finds requires tons of money. I started a '63 Vette convertible and gave up, it ate money. Traded it for a like new 1999 coupe and never looked back.
My college buddy's dad was a fan, he bought my college buddy a '67 convert black top/interior think it was the straight 6 3 speed. Damn that was a sweet ride with many fun memories. Manual top was a PITA though. that was about 1983-1984 and I'm sure its long gone, had a birtha skull & roses on the bumper wait what were we talkin about?
Does anyone read the fucking dates on threads anymore.
There is no question mark there on purpose.
Hey I do, I quoted 2 guys who don't post any more, . I thought it was obvious it was an old thread. But in general, no. No, they don't.
I mean, the thread was resurrected by someone who clearly must've been using the search function... So, ya know, at least someone was using the search function.

Yeah, I couldn’t find a better/on topic thread to post it in, so here we are.
Restoring a C3/C4 vette is cheap. Pull all the plastic off, add a turbo, et voila. Vette cart.
I like bacon.
Torch it, collect insurance money, buy drugs.
this thread is interesting to me.
I have an interesting Euro/greymarket BMW that I want to unload. It's low miles, but needs some love mechanically. BAT has been doing pretty well with these, like $15k for a decent one.
My question is: should I spend the dough ($2000-$5000) to get it well sorted before submitting or just throw it out there? Is it worth it? GAH. been fighting with myself over this for a while.
Put it on BAT with a reserve. See what happens.
BAT screens cars so I would think it needs to be desirable enough or cheap enough to make it on with issues.
When do we get a crack at buying your Saab??

Meh, I don't care if it goes 200 mph and handles line a F1 chassis.. If there are 4 doors, it's just a fast grocery getter/kid bus/soccer mom ride.
I'll take just about any 2 door sports car over the sickest 4 door ride for "sporty". Full disclosure, I'm driving a Forester wagon ATM and all our other cars are 4 doors. But, when the nest empties my daily driver will be 2 doors or GTFO.
To me, 4 doors will always be a compromise, not a legit "cool" sports car regardless of the performance it delivers..
^^^, well, you're clearly not the buyer for it. And I'm not either, hence the desire to sell. There does seem to be a growing market for these, though it was very soft until recently.
It was built for the Autobahn, probably for people with drivers given the audio controls in the rear armrest. It's a tank for sure.
What's the history on it, oft?
My ex FIL gave it to me years ago after taking it to trade in on a Prius and being offered pennies. He did a euro delivery on it on a family trip in '85, shipped it back and had it federalized. Put it in his garage and drove it very little. I've maybe put 2000 miles on it.
In order to get top dollar for the car, the work needs to be done.
My uncle had an early 80s 450SL he let me borrow for the day when I was 16. Now there's a 2 door sports car I could definitely embrace as my empty net daily driver..
And it was nice of him to accept a return of his daughter. That guy's okay in my book.
Pretty sure it was the former.
Where to begin?
It was a generous gift for sure, but at the time it was pretty valueless vs. what he'd paid for it. And my ex didn't want it, but it was too cool to vanish in trade for Prius. I think they offered him $2000 on trade. There was literally no market for that car at the time, or for years after I got it. I watched.
Well, I did return her legally (he had died by then) but only after years of philandery and some pretty awful behavior on her part, and a lot of work on mine to set things on course. So, I think she actually returned me, and I just validated the receipt.
While it was a generous gift, he was, sadly, not a super nice guy. Extremely self absorbed, treated his wife like a servant, alienated his grandchildren with his dismissiveness. At the same time he'll leave everyone in the family wealthy as fuck. So, yeah.....
I think in reasonably sorted shape I should be able to get around $12k for it. Maybe better on a good day.
