There's a small group of small car lots in my city of Racine, WI. Most of time they're filled with a dearth of minvans, crossovers and old CamCords. Occasionally there is something interesting, like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which has been there for at least a year at that price.
I drove past "Last Stop Motors" (the last place you'd want to go? where cars go to die?) and did a triple take on an Opel Kadett they had out front. Looked it up on their website and found out that it's in excellent condition for a 45 year old car in WI. And only 31k miles!

They have pics of the engine bay, but I couldn't find the engine? All I see is a tiny piece of metal and a battery in there. Slow car fast

If I was not saving for an e36 M3 I might have had to borrow money from a family member to purchase this interesting piece of machinery, there is also the problem I am not quit old enough to 'legally' drive.

I bought my triumph between Kenosha and Racine. It's amazing what you can find on the side of the road around here.

That's a 2nd gen Oliver, though. But atleast it's not an Oliver with a slushbox.

As fun as it could be to own a weird old car like this, I would definitely go for the E36. Not the best car for winter around here though. If you plan to drive an M3 in the winter, be sure to get snow tires and wash the car once a week to try to prevent rust.

Definitely. I saw a sweet old Unimog for sale by a farm somewhere that I'll have to go try to find again soon.

Oliver 2.0. Still the only Opel of any kind I think I've ever seen. Just odd for a nice one to show up on a random used car lot.
