I've been a P-car guy for a long time, and don't think I've ever seen one in Cyclamen Red Pearl?

Here's the one US 928 in that color:

Pretty sure you won't run into another one at Cars & Coffee.

Singer/Williams went for $3,000,000

I gotta admit that I just don’t get it when it comes the price of Singers. Yeah, they’re worth whatever someone is willing to pay, but I still think $3M is insane for a 911.

Money can't buy taste........I remember when he found that thing on Chasing Cars.... it was ugly then and it's ugly now.

That thing is the epitome of beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

I don't recall ever seeing a de-seamed Mini before, but I must admit that I like the look;

OK, here's one for XR4Tim;

It needs some work and is in (literally ;-) Hicksville. Ohio!

It's a really solid looking car. Unfortunately, I'm picky these days and don't want one without leather seats or the biplane wing. I'm really wanting a white '87.

[NSXguy]

OK then, howz about we crank things up the swanky scale and consider a brown E-Class Chrysler

[Crisis]

^^^^^ Nicest condition used car that no one wants.

[wsh]

For a decade or so, I had (several) Mercury Grand Marquis as a company car, almost the same spec
Neighbors couldn't understand the gold paw-paw car with whitewalls and wire wheel covers next to a GT3RS with giant wing

We had K cars for employee vehicles for a couple of years. What a piece of crap they were.

Do you remember the recordings? " a door is ajar" drove me nuts!

Lee Iacoca's project to save Chrysler. Put a high sticker price on a piece of shit and discount it 20%. Everybody thought they were getting such a deal until the thing started falling apart after 10k miles.

Back in the early/Mid '80's our field techs were issued K-cars.
First the found the needed to add air shocks, because when you loaded the trunk with a few pieces of test equipment they would start bottoming out.
Then they found when you drove with enough pressure to keep the car level it would punch the top of the shock tower out.

The guy I sold my 944 S2 to just bought this....

I told him it looks like quite a car, and that he's a brave man.

Engine air filter is upside down and it needs plug wires (about 10 years ago.) And... I'll stop there...

I have no skin in the game, all good.

Continue on, please...

[NSXguy]

RIGHT, CONTINUING ON

I'm not really a hot rodder but this package is strangely compelling.
An S10 chassis sporting the 4.3L Vortec V6 with a manual mated to whatever bodywork you like is a solid place to build from, eh?

^^Strangely I understand.

Another green 928 with Pasha interior. One of the comments lists the # produced like this and it's higher than I would have thought. Regardless, still stunning in my opinion.

[NSXguy]

Here's an oddball, and the 1st bid seems entirely appropriate

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1951- ... m-project/

[NSXguy]

OTOH, this 924S Carrera GT trubute seems well done and right up the alley of this Porsche-centric Forum;

[NSXguy]

OK, in terms of image contrast my just learning that Harley-Davidson marketed a SCOOTER in the early 1960's is as incongruous as Pee Wee Herman dancing in a biker bar!

Gotta admit that I was not expecting to ever see a pull start Harley.

I'm not really an off-roader but this seems like it would be a fun little package to bomb around in;

The Suzuki Jimny has earned a reputation as being a sturdy Kei platform, so seeing this one badged as a Mazda was a bit of a surprise.

Yeah, they swapped-out the old Divco underpinnings and built the body on a modern van platform...a big job!

OK, how about a mobile taproom?

With those looks and that purple paint job I would want it to have at least 1000HP!

^^I understand wanting something "different" but that sure seems like a waste of time that one will never get back.

Thinking the single-rotor NSU is too mainstream?

I always loved the technology applied to the 1930's Tatras, especially the 8-cylinder T87 models.
Maybe a pre-war Tatra T97 project is more your cup-of-tea;

By 1958 lots of American cars had switched to 4 headlights, which I always thought made otherwise-decent designs look awkward at best.
For example, the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz in 1957 had superb styling (especially with the stainless steel roof) but the '58 4-headlight version just made me sad
How cool is the '57 Chevy to this day, but the '58 version...(ugh) not so much!

This car (1958 Dual-Ghia) to me was the pinnacle of style for the Rat-Pack set, especially the convertible;
