Those were the days
>>29132885I don’t believe anyone would sell this for less than a million USD.By 2026, such rarities will be worth many millions, and they won’t ever leave their garages.
>>29132885That would be like 50k in today's money
>>29132892Instead they're 50 million
>>29132897Yes, but that's how it goes, I remember Rob spaghetti paid like 80k for a beautiful 11,000 mile Ferarry 360 at bottom of depreciation in 2018 to take on road rallies and best the shit out of it, who knows what a beautiful 2000s Ferrari will be worth when they become really antique.
>>29132899>who knows what a beautiful 2000s Ferrari will be worth when they become really antique.Literal paperweight because compared to the mechanical ones of the past the new ones won't work when their gazillion electronic parts fail
>>29132901Theyre gonna be fine anon, theyre actually easier to own than carved junk thay needs adjusting, electronic fuel injected shit tunes itself on the fly to run perfect no matter what the temperature or atmospheric pressure is, especially if its a 6 speed manual the 360 is a beautiful car and does deserve the appreciation it is starting to get as 2000s cars speed toward classic csr status.
>>29132903>carvedCarbed**
>>29132914>Carbed**Garbled
>>29132879My father owns a 1967 mustang. I keep trying to get him to trade it in for a Tesla but you know how these boomers are and there ignorance against electric cars. I keep telling him he would save a fortune in gas and he will help with slowing down the pollution of this planet. I'm thinking of maybe driving the car into a tree or something in an attempt to total it. I want a tesla so bad
I miss early 2000s craigslistIn the bay area you literally had BMW 2002s, Lancia Fulvias, Alfa GTVs and datsun 510s for sale every week for under $10kWish kid me knew how this shit wouldn't last and actually bought something long term lol
>>29132934I shoulda bought one of these...
>>29132934>Wish kid me knew how this shit wouldn't last and actually bought something long term lolKid me did know it wouldn't last but I didn't have spending money then graduated uni right into the '08 market crash, first real job shut the whole facility down within a year of my hiring. By the time I had money, most of the desirable cars were already expensive. There are always miatas...
I got a clean ass crx si for 2200 in like 2010
>>29132985And then you sold it like a chump
>>29132987Crashed it
>>29132993Rip
>>29132879>Those were the daysWhy would the price inflate on that shitbox? It's not a 67 Chevelle SS or anything valuable.
>>29133017what if a boring-ass 67 Impala sedan?
>>29133017Black people. They love that shit.
>>29133024also worthless and boomers will ridicule you for driving a sedan
>boomers back then>what a piece of shit!!! yeah bud i'll take it for 500 cash then probably roll it down a hill later for a joke >boomers now>if we da known how much they were worth i woulda bought em all up!!!!
>>29132879>Unsafe>Slow and gay>Shit sound system>No heated seats / steering wheel>Handles like a fat lady after 5 cosmosLmao what kind of retard would want this?Boomers are going to be in for a surprise when they need retirement funds because millennials destroyed their portfolios with AI
they have a higher survival rate than the small GM cars of the period like the J-bodies
>>29133945it has always been the case that if a GM vehicle doesn't come with a V8 or at least the option of one, they don't care about it
>>29133992>if it doesn't have a v8 it means nothing Correct
>>29133992So why did they kill the B-body?
>>29134115>So why did they kill the B-body?free up assembly line space for truck production
>>29132985I bought an 01 Honda S2000 with like 45,000 miles on it for around $12,500 in 2008. I sold it in 2010 for like $11,000 with 10k more miles on it. I still kick myself. It was already a second car by the time I sold it, but even if I'd driven the shit out of it and it had 150,000 miles on it today it would still be worth almost twice what I paid for it lol.
>>29132879350 swap is mandatory. the 305 was a piece of crap.
*sip*
>>29134389crazy
>>29134388B-bodies after 79 were strictly fleet/old guy cars.
>>29134401>25yo Porsche for $16,000 in today dollars (attractively priced)Its really not crazy, a 996 Porsche from about 25 years ago goes for about 20 grand, and one day the 996 will blow up and we'll be like holy shit I should've bought a fried egg looking ass 996
>>29133029Boomers love mine so far
>>29134389This was pretty much craigslist all day lolI even remember beat e30 m3 for $7500
>>29137319malaise scrap. some of them even had a de-bored 265 V8 and a V6 that did 0-60 in 18 seconds.
>>29137335unfortunately the 350 disappeared after the 70s except in police cars
>>29137335at least Ford didn't stoop to putting a six in the Panthers
>>29137352The only six they had back then was the ancient Falcon Mileage Maker.
>>29137319>>29137348B-bodies post-79 were strictly old guy/fleet cars.
>>29137356tbqh the 77-79 B-bodies did have the old Chevy 250 I6 as the base engine but it was replaced by the new 2.8 V6 in 80. Ford didn't have GM's bucks though.
>GM had decided during this time to phase out the separate Buick and Pontiac divisional engines for cost reasons and to make it easier to regulate for emissions. Buick/Oldsmobile and Chevrolet/Pontiac would share engines with Cadillac (naturally) retaining its own separate engine family. The Buick and Pontiac V8s were retired after the 1981 model year.[3]
>>29137370all part of the long steady process that began in 1935 of gradually turning each GM division into one car with a different body kit
