Junkman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I was looking at that when it was on Craigslist in New York. The pictures were much better and it was about $1500 I just wasn't convinced it was a sound car. I suspect there is a fair bit of filler under the shiney paint Do you realise how much wob these had applied in the factory? You can't get a five metre ship assembled by unskilled labour that's still underpaid looking straight without at least half an inch of that shit applied and thus it's exactly what Detroit did. The common number one mistake in Europe when restoring such a car is leaving it off, that's why they usually have more waves down the flanks than the Atlantic. Do not assume that septic chod is even close to European tat in workmanship. It's all mackle, like their houses.Real US car buffs like me love it. Anybody holding an English passport apparently fails to get the concept big time, that's why yanks in the UK look like they do. Getting 18 feet of Imperial look straight takes 50 pounds of bog, guess how I found out. Lacquer Peel and Conrad D. Conelrad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I love 205s more than most, and a minty red XS is almost as good as they get... But they want TEN fuckin GRAND!!!!! Do wot m8?! That Maserati junko posted is only 7.Quite. 10k is pushing it for an XS. Then again there was only 8 months’ worth of production of the XS with the suitcase engine, so one in that spec is fucking rare. IMO they’re actually a better drive thn the GTi - almost as quick but without the aggronofnhigh insurance premiums and the associated XU injection problems busmansholiday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
