Somebody wanted that pretty bad.

. . . Somebody wanted that pretty bad . . .

Yeah --- but . . .


. . . ya couldn't make one that nice for that . . . $14k


All these Old School Pop-Tops are fun-as-hell --- Junior had one = just like this. From the pics, this one looks like a Real Peach, too --- w/ Toyota reliability/utility/ease-of-repair, to boot


Not exactly the best color, maybe, but . . .




. . . somebody scored


And/yeah . . . I'm jealous

I'm an idiot, but in addition to 996 TT, I'd say US Military Vehicles; take your pick and wait 5 years. (I'm a M715 guy)

Incidentally, my wife bought a first gen 4runner this spring; prices are already climbing above my threshold for that sort of thing, if that means anything.

Never mind the 'Enzo-era' stuff . . .

. . . has anybody noticed the pricing of any 3-pedal Ferrari, lately?

Was doing some digging-around a few months back. Found out that the absolute very last stick-shift Ferrari was a RHD 599 sold in England. Now, 599s are boats, but/still, thought that I'd look for some, see what's what outta 'curiosity' --- aaaaaaaand? . . .


. . . there aren't any --- least not on the planet I live on, anyway


Sure-sure --- the 'F1' (= paddle-shift) cars are falling out of trees --- = ~$150-200k . . .

Nooooooooooooot the stick shift cars . . .

. . . . . $600k

Yeah-yeah, I know, I know . . .

. . . asking's not the same as getting --- but still . . .






As for RoI? --- well . . .

. . . I'd be real curious to hear how this Guy's getting along with his 550 (6-speed) . . .

WOOOW this one even has 4 pedals!!!

and to answer the question

bmw z3 coupe
mazda miata NA

[blucille]

It used to be, we all discussed how we liked to drive these old cars...seems to me, this and these cars ar a decent balance between 'old enough' 'mechanical' and 'priced right'

Although this one will likely go for big bucks, lots of early m635's and later m6's at reasonable prices

As seen @Fantasy Junction . . .

F1/paddle-shift . . .
http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/...%2012-Cylinder

3k miles = $165k



. . . vs 6-speed . . .
http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/...%2012-Cylinder

28k miles = $285k



I'd still stick w/ the 550 . . . = not OBD II . . . . . . . . jus' sayin'

I was looking at a nice early Ford Bronco the other day they wanted $200k - likely a lot of upside on these - find a good one for $100k and in a few years likely a $500K auction car - right ?

[SD Swede]

Still on my early 4X4 kick...$16K and climbing!
