I spend far too much time on Bring A Trailer, as do many other Oppos. I noticed there were a wide variety of vehicles up for auction this week, so I figured I could play a game of “Which Would You Rather?”
Option #1: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
This 1940 LaSalle has a full restoration in 2009, and has only been driven sparingly sense. Powered by bored out- 346ci V8 out of a later car, with power being delivered by a three -on -the tree, this car has been restored as closely as possible to period spec while retaining a few hot-rod touches.
Option #2: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
This 1991 Saab is on offer by the original owner, and is available at No Reserve. The car has full service records, and is powered by a two liter, double -overhead cam, turbocharged, inline four backed with a rare five - speed manual.
Option #3 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
I don’t feel like writing about this or reading the listing; these cars do nothing for me. If you want to know more about it, click the link.
Option #4: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Do you like to play golf? Is the only alcohol you drink 50 - year wine? Are you married to a Vanderbilt? Then oh boy howdy do I have a car for you.
Option #5: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
BMW MPowerrrrrrrrr
Option #6: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
IMO, this is the best Vanagon, as the air-cooled engine is far more reliable than the wasserboxer. It is slower, but you don’t buy a Vanagon for speed. This example is in great condition, and the 73k miles seem genuine.
Option #7: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
David Tracy just jizzed himself.
Option #8: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Words escape me.
Option #9: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Remember the classic muscle car bubble? Classic muscle cars were bringing big bucks, so people created concours - level replicas, which also brought big bucks. Muscle cars have been rapidly losing value over the past few years.
You see where I’m going with this?

Option #11: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
#hype #bubble #moab #terrorism
Option #12: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
This thing is impressively clean.
Option #13: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
This is one of the most impressive Porsche builds I’ve seen. The guy had a vision, and he saw it out, namely with that Pascha interior. I love it.
Option #14: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
These aren’t even that interesting /hot take.
Option #15: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Option #16: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Option #17: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I chose GT, but Alfa 4C interests me greatly, and I love anything rear engined and targa topped.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

That’s not a 57 T-bird but instead a later four seater. To be honest none of those are on my gotta have list but I would gladly give the Jensen or M6 a loving home.

Alfa 4C, please!
Or — I can haz the black 2000 M-B SL600 with, like, 37K miles on it that just sold for Kia money?

Had me with that Jensen until the gt. That’s a no-brainer

I’d take either the FJ62, Vanagon, or SAAB.

I’m also going to add that that custom 911 targa drives me insane. I coordinated with a custom designer to make a special car for me, and I am going to basically immediately sell it.
Why?

I was meh until this came up, and knew there could be no other for me.
After the SL, my choices would be: AMC Pacer, Fiat 500, MGB, Ford GT. In that order.

I think for someone who builds a car like this, the design and build process is more fun than actually owning and using the car.

You see the same thing with kit car builders. Drives me bonkers.
