jvb5577 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The picture I posted is a Dodge Colt or Mitsubishi Colt. If ggzilla was talking about the picture I posted. I think by FP you mean Ford Pinto? :confused: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/4445346280.html They kind of remind me of the 1200 or B110 1 Quote Link to comment

john510 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Anyone that saw 'CUJO" would never buy a ford pinto. I would rock that Pinto.Those were a cool car for older guys like me.I had a friend that put a Ford 289 and 4 barrel in one.Hauled ass.This was 1980,before we knew if you got rear-ended BOOM. 1 Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ya the old one's that were set up for drag racing were everywhere in the 80's. Just gotta move that gas tank 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Theres not really any Datsuns in AK.. So I got a golf for $1200. I know its wrong wheel drive but still a fun little car. Ive since put 165/50/15s on it instead of the 165/40s in the pic. Removed the sticker on the windshield, new rear wheel cylinders and regreased spindles/wheel bearings n shit. Just need a carpet kit and windshield and its good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rocket Dog Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I don't know how anyone can say a Datsun is cheaper than a bike unless you're talking about Seven Mudhoney or some high end bike like that. You can get a roller for five bills but by the time you've got it safe for flight you'll be into it for a grand. Anybody mention a Ford Taurus? Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Ford Taurus would def fall into the "cars you've had sex in". I think ten speed bikes can be reasonable but by the time you get the power bar polyester suit and strap on cleats, your out at least two grand, not to mention the devorce therapy cuz your wife will no longer have sex with you.

RatVonDude Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 72 Dodge Colt (project) - $400 (Eureka) 1972 Dodge Colt automatic transmissiontitle : clean Classic, pre-smog Japanese nostalgic hot rod. 3 months ago the car was driven around the block, but it is in no way a daily driver - it will need to be towed to your destination. Needs lots of work to make it pretty. Comes with tons of parts (trim, interior) from this and other years. New starter and alternator, new tires. Motor needs rebuild, has engine electronic issues, has "no power in run." Currently has a 1600cc motor, and 3 speed slush box. It is registered as Non-Operational and the last DMV notice I got last month says you will need to pay $83 to register it again before you drive it, I don't know what it costs to transfer the title but it does not have to be smogged. Located in Humboldt CountyIf you are looking at this ad the car is still available.do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers post id: 4440008985 posted: 7 days ago updated: a day ago email to friend ♥ best of [?] Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 both DSM diamond star motors Neither are. DSMs are Talons, Lasers, and Eclipses with some on either side of the validity of GVR4 Galants. Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The origins of Diamond-Star Motors can be traced back to 1970 when Chrysler Corporation took a 15 percent stake in Mitsubishi Motors, as part of MMC's strategy of expansion through alliances with foreign partners. The U.S. company began distributing Mitsubishis as Chrysler-,Dodge- and Plymouth-branded captive imports (e.g. Dodge Colt), 5] 1 Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I would take them both but I don't own a garage. Saw a purple Toyota Corona for like $800.00 on craigslist. Drives me nuts looking at all the deals, I can't believe people are still hung up on what Jay Leno thinks. Benny Hill reruns are a cheap alternative to Jay Leno. 1 Quote Link to comment
