Quote HistoryQuoted: I've always had a huge soft spot for the old school Toyota MR2s. Even though they were slow as fuck, absolute death traps, and overall just shit machines. https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/152762216595d565ef66e7dMR2-10.jpg?fit=940%2C529 I thought they looked kind of cool, and you could buy one with a crappy interior for $400-600, completely replace the interior for $100 with nice parts from a junkyard and a couple hours work. They weren't exactly easy to work on, but they were cheap enough. |

The front wheel drive El Dorado came out in ‘67, the Toranado came out in ‘66. Both use the same transaxle. |

We sold one just like that years ago. MB dealer in Montana was also Buick/GMC. The father who started the dealership bought one new and rarely drove it, sat in our equipment storage building untouched. He passed away and they rolled it out. Cleaned up and sold online to someone, it was like a new car. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe in wide scale mass production(or US produced). I think there was one early in the 20’s that was a FWD, but was obviously not large scale or particularly long lived, or an import. Might be a @stutzmech question. That said, I love me some real full-size cars. Truly unappreciated nowadays. Have to be the cord, 29 I believe, many more stock and race cars before that but not in large production numbers, as side note the cord also had the first CV joints, the ford 999 had FWD, lots of stuff had stuff earlier than most people think

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am shopping for a numbers matching 454 Chevelle SS right this minute..Make one of your own? The price of a new body will a whole lot cheaper than undoing 50+ years of bad body work, parking lot damage, and rust. Plus, with new stuff there's no collector value so you can put an infinitely better motor, brakes, suspension, etc. |
