Kinja'd!!!

What should we buy? Obviously an old E-Type would be amazing but I’m setting a $3,000 cap on this new vehicle. We’re primarily considering between an American land barge, tiny foreign sports car (likely British), and a microcar. What would you like to see us work on and drive next?

Option 1

Option 2

If I found a small car, I’d suggest that. But this is what five seconds on Kijiji has found me.

Huge American barge, preferably a Lincoln with the 460 so you can throw a few speed parts at it and terrorize downtown Toronto.

Our plan would be a Weiand 6-71 supercharger and about 12 psi on stock internals.

And Reid is no stranger to rust repair, so it’s win-win! :P

You guys already have a tiny furrin’ sports car with the Roadster. Personally I’d go with a land barge, but a micro car would be really interesting too.

I don’t know if it’s ‘land barge’ enough, but maybe bringing a 1985 Monte Carlo back to life?

This Mazda MX-3 is something out of the ordinary, but it’s actually in decent physical condition, some rust underneath and clear coat issues.

Doesn’t really fit any of the wants, but how about reviving a ratty ‘98 Tracker?

More modern, but it’s a land barge. Here’s a 1999 Grand Marquis that needs some work.

Or, a somewhat land barge, of a non-running 1983 Eldorado?

It’s one of my life goals to swap a rotary into a MG Midget / AH Sprite. It would be perfect. Also a ton of work.
