Saw a late 70s Monza notchback, it had the factory 350 in it.  Probably a California car.  It was in really great shape.   The owner has another that he put a 350 into, but this one was factory equipped.

Yes, California car.  The 350 was available in that state only with 125 measly horsepower.

This pulled next to me at the LCBO, not something you expect to see.

Saturday afternoon I saw a group of guys having a beer at a roadside memorial for their departed buddy.  I know of the accident and alcohol was not a factor.

They didn't sell many in the U.S. either. Didn't help that it was four cylinder only.

Saw a green BMW 2002 parked outside a shop on my way home. I love those cars so much.

Miss mine.  A lot.  I had a '74 tii and it got stolen and chopped.   :'(

So I've been scouting them - and ugh, they're either over-priced rust-buckets that would take years and a small fortune to repair or over-priced solid examples - no bargains to be had at all.

The rims and stretched tires are more than a bit ridiculous, but otherwise looks like a neat car. What is it? Lancia something? 1980s, early 90s? What came under the hood?
