Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd love to drive something like this through South Beach. I'd catch the eye of a lot of rich people. https://external-preview.redd.it/RvZFYCKS9mYVSJ-devfdLRGPupJqFsEpNMGTF5EUt_Q.jpg?auto=webp&s=b433c0daad6cf05a455808e8c6d5f8f629c8408f Side note - I lived in a suburb that was known as a cake eater city. The Pizza Hut guy drove a Porche. It was one of those crummy 941s from the 90s that didn't look too good but it was kind of funny to see it pull up with the Pizza Hut sign on the roof. It isn't quite the same, but I delivered pizza in an Jeep Scrambler. It was/ is a piece of crap, but I got a ton of compliments on it. |

I had the cleanest '87 T-type back in college, gray with black trim. It had zero panty pull, but I loved it. We used to see a GNX driving around fairly regularly when we moved to this neighborhood years ago ... Haven't seen it in a long time though.  |

The big problem is the rear window surrounds rotted out in less than 10 years as well as the trunks and lower quarter panels. And that's in the south without salt to deal with. Lately I'm seeing hoodrats driving a lot of these 70's cars and am clueless where they are finding them, much less fixing all the rusted out panels. |

68/69 Torino Cobra Jet but engine swapped for either 400+ cuin SBF or a 5.2 Aluminator.
Same suspension type and brakes as my 66 Mustang. Something similar to this but geared towards actual use on a road course with 315/35-17 tires on all 4 corners.

Last ten or twelve years I have wanted a Audi URS4/6. One of the turbo 5 cylinder cars. I have a friend that needs some cash and has a real nice 96 URS6. I am a weakweak man. The AAN 5 cylinder sounds fucking amazing!! We will see... The prices the last few years have started to climb, perhaps it's time before they get completely out of control.

Dude - whose fantasy is this The trick in owning - but more importantly being able to operate - obscure rides is finding ones that have reasonable support. At this stage in my life that means mfg support, at least in some market(s) - and modern conveniences. FFS digging through swap meets and tracking down weird dudes with a few containers of arcane NOS shit they mistake for religion sucks donkey balls. Nah man, done with that. This ain't speculation. So I'll stick with a KDJ-120, short roof, KDSS, factory rear locker - plenty obscure for NA. If you twisted my arm a KZJ-120. I'd consider a Pajero Evo - and now might just bite (exemption!).
