It is a classic ... desirable or not is the question. These are rare. This one is 5spd with A/C and a decent looking body. Where are you going to find another one? A little over priced but an interesting choice.

I liked them, I'm a Mopar guy, remember?   ;D  Just not sure I'd apply the classic term to it.  However, they did make great looking funny cars.

The Fire Arrow with the 2.6L was popular production class rally car during the late seventies in North America. At the time it had the largest 4 cyl displacement on the market IIRC. Datsun was still 2L and Toyota was 2.2L.

Another Arrow in Nova Scotia not as classic as the first one. Been for sale for a while.
V8 powered though.

$16,500  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o   :rofl: :rofl2: It's good I'm not the only dreamer.

Sits high enough in the rear you can scrape your driveway clean in the winter.  Would look nicer about 6' lower in the back with a narrower axle and the wheels tucked in. 



But...keeping with the V8 mini muscle cars...how about this? (aside fro the deplorably horrible paint colours...  :-X :hurl:)

Fix the paint...and it's cool!

This is a very fast car and not recommended for the novice driver no matter how cute she looks.

Updated ad text:
This car is pretty Harry and not good for the novice driver even though it is cute.

What a sexist pig!  I hope he gets trolled and harassed until he quits...smoking.  Maybe I can get the sexist discount. $4000!  It's all he deserves. (and more than I can spend... :-[ :( :'()

Oh! And who's Harry...and is he really pretty?  Does he know? Will he hate being singled out like that?  Or is there a Markle in this equation...

That worse part of the paint on that is the painted dash. Not sure I could look at that all day. The lack of wheel wells give a little bit of pause though. Those Envoys are cool. I've seen a couple with V6s swapped in might be result in a better balanced car.

^I love those things. They weren't very good, really, but they looked cool, and they were from a time when GM was really trying new stuff just because they could.

Lots of fun if you disconnect the rear brakes!

I love Corvairs! The truck is perhaps the least practical of all variants. I'd love a first generation sedan or second generation coupe.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I think that is correct.     IIRC that V4  ( ex-UK Ford) engine was not noted for its power or reliability.
The immediate predecessor of that SAAB, a SAAB 93, would have had a 3 cyl 2 stroke I think.
