I love the rally-esque look of the 4 extra driving lights.

My cellphone has the uncanny ability to make Chryslers even uglier than they already are (notice the blue Pacifica). Oh, and 10" wheels ftw!

And here's an idea of just how tiny these cars really are...from one cube to another. :laugh:

seriously, for that money you'd atleast expect the seller to take a wire brush to *some* of the rust under the hood.

can't really see but looks liek there might be some rust along the bottom on the side of the car too.

$6500 for a car that's pretty uncommon over here and has a cult following...sounds reasonable at that price in it's state.
 
there's a 76 station near where i live that has a red one posted up in front under thier sign...when the gas prices hit 4.60/gallon for 87 the owner put a 'NOT FOR SALE' sign on it....various obviously hasn't been driven in yrs, but he apparently got a least a few inquiries

Sure, they're pretty easy to come by...if you live over seas.

More and more you seem less and less like a car enthusiast. :shrug:

theres atleast 5 here that i see on a regular basis. one right around the corner that's pretty modded as far as i can tell (EDIT: i've been meaning to take pics because the guy also has a new mini that's very nicely done and i think roger would appreciate!), and one i see trailered around that's gutted and race prepped.

that mini needs work...plain and simple. that doesn't make me not an enthusiast. who drives the jeep here anyway? :laugh:

So there's 5 that you see on a regular basis. I'm talking about the entire country. They're pretty uncommon in the US...dare I even say rare.

I never said it didn't need work, I just said the rarity of the vehicle is more than enough to drive the price tag to where it is. If you talk to most any Austin-Morris collector and I'm sure they'll admite the price is justifieable.

And on the Jeep comment, I'm having more fun with it than I ever did driving the SVT(s).

No, I'm not married and don't plan on it for a very long time.
