This one is in restorable condition. The seller says it has its original paint. If that's true and there's no Bondo hiding anywhere, this car doesn't appear to be too rusty (by Fiat standards). The engine and transmission are out of the car, so I would assume one or both need rebuilding. (Why else would they be out of the car?) It looks like this car has air conditioning (which probably never worked), which was a fairly rare option.
It may be better and cheaper to buy a restored 124 Coupé, but if you're a DIY kind of person, this car may be a good buy.

1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS - Oh boy. I'm in trouble. I can think of at least two friends who, when they see this post, are going to give me hell. (One, fortunately, is without out an internet connection for a few days, so I won't get blasted right away.) What can I say? I like these things.The VehiCROSS was a 1993 Isuzu concept vehicle. It was released to the public in 1997, with very few changes. Offered until 2002, less than 6,000 were built. It featured a 4-wheel drive system Isuzu called "TOD (Torque on Demand)", which gave it incredible traction on and off road.
While the body was futuristic, the rest of the truck was pretty much run of the mill Isuzu.
I owned an Isuzu Trooper back in the late 1980s. It was the biggest piece of crap I ever owned. Period. Nothing before or after even came close. After selling it (at a huge loss), I swore that I'd ride a bike before I owned another Isuzu. But there's something about a VehiCROSS... If there was one local at a reasonable price... I'd probably buy it. (Feel free to flame me.)

1986 Porsche 928S - This is another one of those cars that makes me scratch my head... It has just 6600 miles on it. How can you buy a car like this and drive it less than 275 miles per year?It really amazes me how inexpensive these cars are these days. (Even this one, with a huge premium for having only 6600 miles on it, is listed for $40K). They were generally well built V8 sports cars, made by a company with gobs of history. Still, you can find tons of decent ones for under $10K. (Here's one in Poughkeepsie, NY, for $4500.00) Maybe it's still the Porsche front engine vs. rear engine thing. No matter where the engine is, a Porsche 928S is a lot of car for very little money. At one point it was the fastest car sold in America, with a top speed of 146 MPH
This 928S is a lot of car for a lot of money. Personally, I'd buy one with more mileage for less money, but if you're looking for a "new" 1986 Porsche 928S, this may be your only chance.
