KSL is bomb, I've bought and sold several vehicles with it. I have a couple cool classics on my KSL faves list at the moment. Good thing i'm all out of room in the garage!

'84 Accord $2400: https://cars.ksl.com/listing/6064697


'91 Caddy $3k: https://cars.ksl.com/listing/6137039

Hmmm. Why do I do this to myself. Want this soo bad:

Never had a V12 one (or any V12 car). And these are supposedly more reliable than my V8 ones were (and those were solid for me).

Mileage: 1?

Seems like a reasonable price.

I've heard nothing but horror stories about that V12.  My friend had one and said it was terrible to work on.

It's essentially two I6s joined by a crank shaft right?  I think it has two set engine ECUs, two fuel systems, etc.

I don't see that as a huge problem, and may even mean the parts are more available.

One bank goes then the other should keep running.  At least get you home.

That Thunder Roadster looks like a lot of fun.

'91 F-150 looks great but not $17k great

It's much more reliable than the V8s in those cars (and the issue in the 8 series are primarily in the REST of the car and the really bad electronics in them), as it doesn't have the valley pan gasket issues, timing chain guide issues, VANOS issues (no VANOS, so no issues), water pump issues, water cooled alternator issues, etc. It does have two MAFs and two DMEs, but overall those tend to be reliable and not to terrible to fix if they do go bad.

So how big is the wiener?  Can you live in it?

If I bought it, I'd have to.

[MrH]

$12,000?  Is that Canadian?  For 2?!

That's like $4500 USD for one.  That's really tempting if it runs...

I dunno. That is not my favorite shade of brown.

Jalopnik fantasy rides are more for roleplaying than real life.

"The hood vents on the hood are also in good shape."  Well now take mah moneh now!!!
The only value here is to turn it into a FFR Cobra. IF the engine is fully intact, which is dubious.

Passenger rear tire looks low. Wonder how much airbags cost?... Plus bumper cover. Plus hood. Plus........... .

"This Mustang was involved in a front end collision and is in need of repair."



Never woulda guessed .

Or a 'Stang Cart.

What's a 'Stang Cart? Anyways, what's the deal here... dude didn't have insurance? He's facing a repair bill that's more than the value of the car. It would probably be a write-off if it was insured.

DeathKart.

Think sand rail, for asphalt.

He did something stupid and doesn't want insurance to know, or doesn't have insurance. Either way, he's fairly screwed.

His best bet is to start parting it out. He ain't getting $15 G's.

Had to google image DeathKart. Suffering Jesus no. A FFR Cobra with a fresh Coyote drivetrain can be worth $50K + if done well. A "deathkart" will be worth nothing.

Hey, I never said to was a move your accountant, insurance agent, or wife would like.

But a FFR kit is gonna cost $20k plus another $5-10k in paint and other parts. Stang Cart would only cost a bit of money to add a cage to the stripped out car.
