Too cool, I like the ridiculous wiper assembly.

Here's a rare Classic from the 70s. "it ran perfect when it was parked" 1978 maybe?
...still just odd enough that I'd consider it.
All Original '77 Pacer

Finding a 70s AMC that's not rusty is rare. They made their cars very thin. I didn't know until it was mentioned on the Wheeler Dealers Pacer episode that the doors aren't symmetrical. The passenger door is slightly longer. You have to look carefully in the pics, but you can see it.

Pacer's are so ugly only a mother could love them. The Gremlin at least had some style.

Just one side, but a great deal on a Litronic on eBay:
Porshce 996 Litronic Xenon Headlight Driver's Side | eBay


Note that it's for a "Porshce", so it may not fit our cars.

Edit: Also, shipping can probably be 1/2 of what he is asking if you can get him to ship "FedEx Home Delivery".

Wonder why you would take a pic of your car by the ocean and leave the door hanging open (and use it as your main pic)? Kind of like having your pic taken by the ocean with your fly open.

Very cool!

That was a labor of love or just bat crap crazy. 9's would have been frightening.

2000 Porsche Boxster S

I called about this one. I can't quite make the numbers work for me at $5k to rebuild it, but it was close. Not a bad deal and easily 5K in parts. LN IMS, Maintained, Recent PPI. Seller is likely to keep it unless you bring cash soon.


...and Welcome to the forum (seller) if you followed my advice.

This one has been up for a few months now and I checked it out before buying a different 2000 Boxster S. He purchased at auction a few months ago and it had all sorts of issues. Needs brake rotors and pads, paint was peeling, CV boots were broken and leaking, oil leaking, etc. Also it had ~8k more miles than stated. I'd stay away from this one.

Here's a fun one:
"1986 Porshe 911" for only $2200!
Not much right with that ad.

Not sure I want to ask about the "Extra things" in his trunk.
The engine looks really clean though.
