Ah, Alfa GTVs. A car of my childhood. There was a bloke who lived across the road from my old primary school who had a GTV (perhaps even two, it was a while ago) and I recall one lunch break I saw him get into his red GTV, only to have starting issues for a good 15 minutes before he gave up and decided to walk instead. I passed the same area recently and the car is still there and looking quite cosmetically healthy.

This one on the other hand doesn't look to be as in good shape:

Been wasting time looking at Craiglist for cars in other countries I can't house, as you do.

 

This Mercury Capri with a 2.8 V6 turbo conversion might be of interest to @danthecapriman:

00s0s_3b3YyBD0hZHz_0CI0t2_1200x900.jpg

Smacks of good value at a shade less than £4400.

https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/eagle-1976-mercury-capri-speed-v6-turbo/7301456556.html

 

And on the yellow theme, this is far less of a bargain but I can't resist an early W126 in one of the bright solid colours they offered them in:

00U0U_6lcvV6YDeJOz_07K05O_1200x900.jpg

This comes a close third behind the avocado green and the ultimate bright orange I've seen these in.

 

Bonus points for jarringly contrasting blue trim, too:

But I literally cannot shake off this one, after encountering its existence a good few hours ago:

00N0N_cDPAoeyvqabz_0CI0mZ_1200x900.jpg

A 1970 Galaxie XL, untouched and with some quite juicy extras, including those most excellent trims.

 

00p0p_hBJj5XnHcnYz_0CI0eX_1200x900.jpg

Shit a brick!

 

00a0a_1mVCn3NRScGz_0CI0kg_1200x900.jpg

I'll admit I do find the very tail end a little bit of a let down, after the hooded lamps up front and the buttressed C pillars. But I'm sure I could learn to live with it.

*audible gasp from the Antipodes*

 

00808_5aa4nEikKqOz_0CI0t2_1200x900.jpg

Even the  Stereosonic tape system ($134.00) is woodgrain covered.

 

So what price a single family owned, 51 year old Ford V8 coupe with 44000 miles on the clock? £6377. Or about the same as a 4 door MkII Escort, I imagine.

That is stunning! What a machine! In fact this car should be forcibly shown to all current car designers and manufacturers as a model of how you should be doing things and why your current products are all frankly utter wank.

Is that a bullet hole in its arse end!?

Continuing the American theme, I found this '76 Lincoln for around 5 bags. 

What's surprising is that this car is in Japan. It's currently in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture which is right next to Tokyo, which seems like the most challenging place to own one of these.

Very much a car for the adventurous type.

Cheap (so far) '59 Impala for yank-tank lickers @eddyramrod & @danthecapriman:

Reminds me of the Brass in Pocket music video, even though they used a Cadillac from the same year.

I'm in love.

Certainly looks like one to me, after enlarging the pic!  And you're right Dan, that car is a shining example.

I bet most are bidding on this for the license plate:

If that's a 1962 registered car then the A suffix plate is presumably a replacement and as such might be non-transferable, so if someone's buying it to plate rape it they might be disappointed.

Yep... £3.10 because when he picks it up it will all turn to sand so he needs that £3 for a jiffy bag to pop it in and send to the winning bidder.

There is an engine with it, it's just not fitted.  It's also incorrect but I don't think most people would worry about that.  Good luck!

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's not been welded previously either. Great* project really. 💩

indeed thats a replacement plate for a suffix-less plate from before they gave proper age related plates to Pre 1963 vehicles robbed of their original plate, so its already been robbed of its plate once before!

however being a suffix replacement registration it is most likely transferable if someone wanted to do (however the resulting 3 number 3 letter age related plate it would get to replace AAL999A wont be transferable, xxxXVP is the current 1953-1962 age related plate series issued at time of writing for those curious)

AFAIK only replacement english non suffix/prefix, Q Prefix and QNIxxxx registration marks are non transferable 

everything else is transferable, no matter how many times you rob something of its plate

its always fun when I come across a Moped belonging to some personalised plate company and it has a few hundred previous registration marks :)

I'd forgotten that's what these plate companies do. I just have a vision of a load of Honda Expresses in a container somewhere.
