Post by narfire »

Ok, it is a nicely presented example of a spider but $89,990.00 asking??? when you scroll down to the bottom of the pictures under warranty.. "No warranty expressed written or implied".. go figure :?

The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage.

That would have no chance in a court of law in Quebec whether it's written or not. If a buyer has been wronged by any misrepresentation he can take it to court. The Consumers Protection Bureau even prohibits a seller from posting photos of cars other than the one for sale.

I like the bumpers. I've been thinking of converting my volumex to those.

I do to, and have been thinking about doing so as well. However, I'm one of the few that actually don't mind the later bumpers, and doing the conversion is not easily reversible, as you need to make holes on all four fenders to secure the ends of the early-style bumpers.

I just saw it has a 2.4l upgrade though, not the original 2l motor. The 2.4 is definitely a nicer motor, but i believe it takes a bit of cutting on the transmission tunnel to fit it in.

it sure is a mystery which cars become collectible.
The Dino used to be considered the ugly cousin that nobody wanted. Back in high school you're image was safer if you were driving a volvo.
Strange.

You can still get a Dino Coupe for a somewhat reasonable cost. I'm keeping my eye out for one of those. It's not a very flashy body but the Ferrari V6 with triple-dual carbs would be pretty cool!

If nothing else, Roadster Salon is helping private parties selling nicely maintained or restored examples because they are a screaming deal when you compare price points.
