Craigslist lust of the day.

OMGWTFBBQ! HNNNNNNNNNGHHG! Look at this thing. $6,500 for the roller. A 575hp 406 and a Jerico trans (!!!!) are available.

1968 Chevelle dirt tracker

$21k. He's spot on about rent as that's what I pay someone else in the same complex. 

Wait this is the link for the CL ad. 

Wonder if he'd do a lease/own.  Will I still be in DC ten years from now?  $400 HOA fees?  Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Does anyone know where in the mid-Atlantic at most a 4 hr drive from DC where one could find a small workshop/garage for less?

Preferably Va due to weather but SoPa Western Md if affordable.

Lease/own would be the easy button at this point in my life.

Keep in mind I currently rent an identical unit nearby so I could make it work as a shop with effort.  I just haven't so far because rental.

HOA requires all work inside ( easy to do ) unless you look like the rest of the neighbors.  I don't look like the rest of the neighbors.

In reply to Appleseed :

I NEED that.


I'll figure out why later.

In reply to Cooter :

You and me both, brother!

Maybe a custody agreement could be arranged.   I only need it on Saturday nights, and Sunday morning drives to church.

How about a 1975 Cossie Vega?

I'm not sure if I really want the car, or I am simply smitten with its John Player Special good looks....

Definitely have some want for this.

That is so cool. I am so lucky that is across the country. Pyro would be ticked that I didn't discuss it before laying down the cash...

i proposed a fly and drive to my 19 yr old nephew that is into drifting bmw's & he's in for the trip. What could go wrong in just 1000miles?

owner says it 'just needs a tune up' whatever that means.

yes, I'm taking a week off work and have AAA

That means it needs head gaskets 

A housemate of mine had one of those in the early 90's.  I think I saw him replace the head gaskets at least 3 times!  Interesting car though (spare tire on top of the motor).

Unfortunately the picture is terrible, just of the interior. Of more interest is the price/miles. $33,000, 5000 miles. That's a pretty steep discount on the $41,000+ that this thing was two years ago.

$4k, needs engine (generally in the $2-3k neighborhood).

Orly! We have had a back and forth In email. 
 

What was your spider sense? It seems pretty nice. 

Triple white VW cabriolet

This would already be in my garage if I had a way to get it 2 hours north to my house. I guess that is a perk of NOT owning something that can tow a dolly/trailer!

Somebody buy this forlorn Escort GT!

In reply to stanger_missle :

I've had my eye on that one as well. I was trying to figure out if I could buy it at the Challenge next week and bring it home somehow. But probably can't.

I had a couple mid-80's GT's, one was a coupe. Cool little cars if the motors would hold together. My daughter totaled the coupe when she lane-changed into a Civic.
