Why Wink goes to Fargo...
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/cto/5806544387.html
Up for sale is my 1982 Porsche 930 which is in very good condition. I am the fourth owner and have owned it for the past 10 years. The car currently has around 116,000 miles on it. To my knowledge it has never been tracked. I have used it as a summer, weekend car and have always kept it covered in my climate controlled garage. Over $50,000 has been spent improving the performance of this vehicle and it shows and drives like a million bucks!

Some of the highlights are:
-Only 3,000 miles on a completely rebuilt engine
-3.4L pistons & sleeves
-Quick spooling K27 sport turbo with Tial wastegate (.8 bar spring)
-Ruf BTR clutch
-Lightweight flywheel
-SC cams
-B&B headers, heat exchangers & dual exhaust
-White faced gauges
-Clock replaced with mechanical boost gauge
-Digital Air/Fuel ratio gauge
-Aftermarket intercooler
-3 piece turbo twist wheels
-new front oil cooler
-Rebuilt warmup regulator and fuel distributor
-new battery
-Alpine stereo with 2 amplifiers, subwoofer and speakers
-Sharp red and black leather throughout interior
-Previous owner replaced carpet - very clean!
-Black paint looks great! Has a few rock chips here and there as you'd expect on a 34 year old car
-The engine is tuned very conservatively so it is nearly impossible to hurt anything by driving hard but there is still a ton of untapped power available if you want to tap into it

This is a euro version with the side turn signals and smaller, better looking bumpers. The car has only been driven in nice weather, never in snow or rain


Are Merc's FGC too?

That Turbo is pretty nice - hope he still has the 16" Fuchs for it - the wide Turbo wheels are rare and $$$$.

How about somethings odd and strange...



Or this...


This is actually quite nicely done. Couldn't build it for that. Even if you couldn't really drive it any sort of distance, it'd be cool pulling into the car shows. Trailer it in, park 2 blocks away...roll in.  O0

$44900 for a pinto. ???  Never really liked that version of the mustang. Although each of Charlies Angels had one on the show.

I loved that car as a kid.  Hate MII's, but that one...I bought the magazine. I even built a model to look like it.  I'm guessing he gets lots of "hate mail from what the ad says. 20,000+ views though. Wow.

Here's a pic of the Revell model kit he mentions in the ad.

...and speaking of model kits, back in my youth I built the exact MPC 1:25 version of this internet find (and values for gen 2 Firebirds on the rise):

A guy in my neighborhood has his 73 Karmann Ghia for sale, only $17,500.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/saint-john/1973-vw-karmann-ghia/1200067447?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

That car had a nasty bash in the rear end last year and the reason it was recently painted.   Looked like it went off the road arse bacwards and slammed into a pole.  Looks good now though.  I have a photo of it somewhere.  The guy is a certified vw slappie for sure!

Yeah, he had, or still has, a Thing.  I remember sitting in one back in 68 or so, our neighbor who was a Plymouth salesman, had it home.

Scam ad? I don't think that's a 2016. The Master hasn't looked like that since 2009.

That makes more sense.
