    One of my best friends I’ve known since grade 2 had a family owned Toyota dealership and they drove a white LC we nicknamed “White Heat”

    Sold for 7k!

    I actually think that car is sick. I realize it's a POS, but that's part of its charm.

    In fact, this finer thing caught my attention and now I can't stop thinking about it. Something like this would even make me drop my existing, exacting, car fetish.

    Notice how they didn't say "no rust"?

    $30,500 with 3 minutes left to go. Curious to see what it ends up at.

    That's a lot of money for a gutless 9 mpg pig.

    It sold for $13,588. That's insane.

    I mean, look at the panel gap on the frunk, that's worth $500 alone right there, the rest you can chalk up to the Northstar swap.

    With previous paintwork. Still looks great in pics and I'd love to find an untouched example.

    That's what piqued my interest. Unmolested. I love 100% bone stock when it comes to my classics.

    What do you call a Fiero with a 50,000 dollar custom Cosworth motor?

    Speaking from first hand experience:

    That was the tear down and refresh price on a custom Cosworth motor.

    Initial development and build, more like ~$1M.

    lol. Yeah that sounds a lot more like it.

    But in the end, we realized that the real motor was the friends we made along the way.

    I’m convinced that BaT is just all make believe.

    Carsandbids is trending that way too. There’s an incredible Montreal Blue Ferrari 812 on there right now and the opening bid was like $450k. Who is sitting around clicking on shit going, “yeah, let me just toss out an offer of like half a mil and get this auction started”!?!

    I mean... at least in my neck of the woods we have clowns DDing a $700k SF90 with a Thule box on top to go skiing, so this kinda silliness would seem up his alley.
