That’s not for me.

I'm not an expert either but I feel like you have to make an offer first.

But it's a real Lightning!

You learn something new everyday!

While trying to learn a second thing in one day I have discovery that Jackie Stewart helped develop the handling on the original! And no tartan in sight.

If you happened to be a 12 year old boy in Georgia, those wheels were (and still are) the ****. It went head to head with the 454SS, which also had rad wheels, but wasn't as fast. It was the start of the supertruck era. As broad mentioned though, the blue logo on the side is really cool. Shame about the body kit on that one.

[Adam43]

The body kit has not aged it well.

[E.B]

To say the body kit is hideous is probably a compliment.

[broadrun96]

Disagree, the body kit makes the truck. Well it makes it work with the white, the wheels and of its time. It's not for me but I'm little too young and either the wrong background or not a fan of open to the chest linen shirts and jewelry for that.

Bonkers good looking long bed 302 Ranger. I wanted to go back in the store and see if I could guess who the driver was.

Staggering. Necessary. Wonder why the mirrors are not white tho.

Interesting effect on the Ranger pics there sir, not quite pixelated but wavy

Don't know why this happens periodically when I upload in Tapa.

Talking of big white ugly things.

It could have been good…

[broadrun96]

Uhhhh, am I missing something?? 225k?

[Adam43]

Yes that is mad. I was thinking maybe 10!

Spec wise wagon V12. Nice.

But the conversion looks a bit odd. It’s white. And er green.

I guess it’s just rare. That is pie in the sky though.

[E.B]

I just assumed a typo. Tell him he's dreamin'.

That interior is something else. "green" doesn't really do it justice.

The price is somewhat optimistic I'd have thought. It'll be interesting to see what it does actually go for (assuming it sells).

[broadrun96]

Someone needs the old school curb feelers on her MB.

[Gerard C]

Crunch, crunch, even the reinforced tyre wall didn't support very well the treatment. The car jockey nightmare! I assume the rear door scratches are not a trace of the pavement!

[broadrun96]

The body mostly looked fine, front wheel was just as bad too. I've taken to looking at wheels and lug nut, it makes me sad for humanity. Saw an old 4lug with only 2 nuts on a bald tire, I slowed way down and let them speed away

[Gerard C]

Score of the match: AMG wheel/ Pirelli zero, pavement two! May be its a new anti-theft system?

I think that I may know who the owner of the car may be, based on the building/s in the pictures. And if I am correct, having been to visit once many years ago and assuming the same owner of said property, he had far more money than sense. And I turned him down as a client.

Subaru glue lasts as long as the engines apparently

Two Tacos and a Jimmy with a reverse Melbatoast and a Caddie and some other goodness. My closest garage has some good stuff.

Will end soon with only "OUT"… Wasn't the Porsche R&D dept involved at some point in the Sub engines?
