ES350 and street stock dirt racecar.  You're in damn Charlotte after all.
I could never get past the clitoral hood center stack in the XV40s



XV60 looks nice but I don't want to roll the dice on that stupid ass mouse controller



I'm shopping mostly from the inside out as that's what I'll see most of the time

In good condition, non-reproduction? Yes.

In the sort of shape you'd start a project like that, or as a good new steel body?

About the same.

Do they make new bodies for CJ-2s like they do for 32 Fords?

CJ-2s were prototypes; only about 40 of them were made. If you find one...



They are worth $Texas.


New CJ-2A body parts are easily obtainable (and they made hundreds of thousands of them back in the '40s). You can build a repro CJ-2A with entirely new parts.

Nice. That's probably cheaper than buying an original one & doing bodywork.

Since all the ones I see look like Swiss cheese, yeah.

Idk I have ~4 weeks of seat time in a 2012 IS250 (IS300 as it's badged in the UAE) and I honestly like it alot.  It's super comfortable, has actual cooled seats instead of ventilated, the Mark Levinson sound system is better than the Meridian in the Range Rover Autobiography I also had for a couple days, and in 6 years it's only needed wear items and a new battery.

Yes but it'll fit a forward facing child seat once his daughter is at that point, and until then they have the Lincoln.

I will say even in rwd the mpg is just so so.  Better than the G but that's not saying much with only 210hp.
