This guy is selling so many different things... NSU Prinz, Lola, Buick Sun Coupe, Dodge Dart; this guy has it all. Which would you have?

Probably the Lola, but fortunately I haven't got a truck to tow with, otherwise I'd feel like I'd have to spontaneously take the day off and drive South...

The Goggomobil would be cool as I remember people still driving them when I was a kid (late 70s/early 80s) but sourcing that rear window is going to be a mare.

Not an easy choice here! The '63 Dart is probably my top pick, as I love early A-bodies and this one looks like a great cruiser. (I'd lose the monster tach, but looks like it has a nice flip top gas cap conversion on it.) But the Nash American is sooooo tempting...

Wow! There's lots to like there. I'm kinda partial to the 65 Skylark, although the Tempest is also pretty darn cool.

If only I had a pile of extra money and a spare barn!

Based upon the car's location, I'd love to know who did the striping on the Lola.

The problem I have with the Lola is $8500 for a Formula Ford in this condition is rather steep. In the current economy this price will buy a ready to race Formula Ford, albiet one that won't be uber competitive, for 10K you can get an early 80's car that will still be able to run vintage events and is much nicer to drive. Given the word "Indy Car" in the ad I'd say the seller isn't up on the going rates or figures the buyer isn't or just thought it sounded good.

As for the rest of the cars they are cheap enough that they'd be worth it, of course I have no idea what the correct price for a Simca is.

Get the Nash and the Lola. Show up at the vintage races with a Nash tow vehicle and a Formula Ford.

The Dart seems to be the easiest fix, 86 the giant tach though.

What powered the Lola and is it still there? I didn't see in the ad.

It's a Formula Ford, so either a 1600 Cortina or Pinto/Kent motor.
