    You could restore it and sell it for twice the starting price.

    Restoring would be more than twice the asking price of the car mind you

    Depends on condition.

    If it needs that much money spent in restoration, it's not worth 35k in the first place.

    It's a New York car so it would cost more than what will get from it.

    A Merak isn't worth 35k in any condition if you ask me

    Debatable. Late, de-Citroënized models go easily for 40-50k €. It's not even that much for a sportscar of that era.

    Here's another weird car I found on Craigslist it's a 1995 Chevy C1500 with a 1999 Cadillac Escalade front end on it, I kinda like it, I mean if it was clean than it would be better, but it seems like a normal pickup from the 1990's and I'm a fan of Pickups.

    I once had a dream where I lived in Las Vegas, bought a Merak hanging shell (body+panels) for $500, bought a $300 Mustang II with a 2.8, swapped all the Mustang internals into the Maserati, sold $300 worth of parts from the 'Stang body and raced it in LeMons.

    The Mustangrati made it to the end, but its electrical problems doomed it to near the bottom of the leaderboard.
    --- Post updated ---
    I've actually got an appreciation for late 60s/70s RWD cars like the Lada, and their platform's spawn, as well as similar cars from all around the world: Skoda 105/120s, Polonezes, Corollas, Bluebirds, Cortinas, Impalas, Valiants... Especially if we're talking about a later revision of such a car (Lada 2107, Polonez Caro).

    They're simple enough to be fixed by the owner himself, or his friend who knows a bit about cars, sturdy enough to be used as work trucks when coupled with a trailer, fast enough to go on a highway, well-enough-equipped and reliable enough to be daily driven and young enough to have at least some parts available on junkyards.

    And that teaser from Toyota GB:

    Personally, they seem like photoshop renders (especially the GT3 car) but supposedly they came from a legit Japan's Best Car issue.

    Not necessarily the most beautiful car ever, though not necessarily ugly. Also, I repeat again, there should be an available manual transmission.

    Here's a leaked pic of the new Focus.

    No, that's not a Hyundai or an Opel, it's really a Ford Focus.

    It looks like if Subaru still made the Outback on the Impreza body.

    I was browsing DeLoreans on IGCD and I saw this car.

    Now I like the idea of a DeLorean with hidden headlights. :cool:
