Re: Bring a Trailer thread
I had no idea they made slide-outs back in the 90s. Especially on little Japanese vans.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Eclectic mix time again..
1972 Datsun 240Z - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-15/
I've never had the pleasure of driving one of these, but I hear they are a lot of fun.
1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-chevrolet-camaro/
Yep. Still don't know why I like these. But somehow I do.
1991 Nissan Figaro - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-nissan-figaro-6/
A bizarre combination of retro and futuristic adds up to one WTF kind of car.
1997 Acura NSX 6-Speed - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-acura-nsx/
I'm not a huge NSX fan but I know a lot of y'all are.. and this one is very clean.
1997 Vector M12 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/13/num ... ector-m12/
Jeff's favorite car brand I think!
1989 Shelby CSX - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-dodge-shadow/
Don't think I have ever seen one of these on the street! The Daytonas sure but not the CSX.
1973 Volvo 1800ES - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-volvo-1800-2/
Because Volvo. And wagon. And rally lights.
2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600 - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-m ... cl600-v12/
I'm lusting after this car. I must have a thing for headaches on wheels..
1937 Cord 812 Beverly - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/11/rar ... 2-beverly/
I actually googled up some restored images of these. Wow they look nice. Question is - to keep the bullet holes or no?

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
I like the Vector W8 better. The aircraft interior with the CRTs is awesome. The whole car is glorious 80s sci-fi

Other than I can't stand green, that's a sweet ride at a low bid right now.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Vectors are cool. I remember I had a model of one when I was a kid. But the Ferrari is attainable, the vector isn't.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
That Ferrari wont be attainable once you build it back up... You are going to be pouring tens of thousands of dollars into that thing. Frequently.
Re: Bring a Trailer thread
The idea of owning a Ferrari is a lot more enjoyable than actually owning one. They aren't nearly as "nice" as you would think, unless you get something very modern like a 360 or later. Unless you are purposely buying a garage ornament.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Up until the NSX came out, it seems like most Italian exotics had build quality on par with an average kit car. One of my unobtanium fantasy cars is a Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster or Diablo GT. But it'd have to one of the later models. The early ones were rough.

Yup, Honda/Acura sort of forced them to up their game. Good thing, too!

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Jeff just named my all time fav car. Had posters of it, models, it is the reason I have a vr4. The last years of the 6L and the awd, if I remember some of the roadsters went to rwd only.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Mooooooooore mixed bag!
1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale 1600 - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-a ... -speciale/
Some beautiful lines on this car. Can definitely see the Bertone design principles.
1972 Fiat Dino 2400 Spider - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-fiat-dino/
Oh sweet jeebus I might be in love.
1974 Alfa Romeo GTV - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-alfa-romeo-gtv-9/
Yep! More GTV love. Get used to it!
1967 Volvo 122S - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-volvo-122s-5/
This looks like it would be a whole lot of fun!
1957 Chevrolet Corvette - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/17/pat ... -corvette/
You can say what you want about fully restored cars.. but there is just something about an original, slightly worn car that speaks to me.
1971 Pontiac GTO Judges - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/17/res ... to-judges/
His and hers? Don't think you can get two for the price of one on these two...
1963 Porsche 356 B Project - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/17/rus ... b-project/
Ok so there is something about too much patina as well...
1997 Porsche 911 Turbo - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-porsche-993-4/
Again not a huge 911 or Porsche fan but this one looks pretty sweet.
2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-m ... amg-wagon/
More wagons please!
1973 Mazda RX-3 Wagon - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/11/17/no- ... x-3-wagon/

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Even though I am not a big Merc fan I'd love that.. until I had to have it serviced or repaired.
Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Yea. If you pay a dealer to service it, you'll lose your shirt. Indy shops are generally better for repairs on Mercedes. I hear nightmare dealer stories.
