so many crack pipes down here.

for shits and giggles i looked at Fiat 126 and variant prices here in Australia on gumtree.com.au. (CL is a barren wasteland)
last one is from tradeuniquecars.com.au

A 50hp engine...worth $10,000? That's $200 per horsepower.

By that metric, I own $140,000 worth of engine! Nice!!

That convertible one looks nice. Good pics too

@nauraushaun i didn't click on the ad, holy shit they're bad.

So, if a Fiat 126 can go for 15K, then a FD RX7 for sure can grab triple figures. Just sayin'

@pip-bip Everyone of those is ridiculous...every damn one.

[pip bip]

@silentbutnotreallydeadly yup!

Wait - if those are in AUS dollars, they would be about $75-$80 US, right?

Quick, hide this post from @RallyDarkstrike before he moves to Australia!

$277,000 here. Granted, $91,000 of that is broken, and another $46,000 needs a rebuild.

[RallyDarkstrike]

YAYYYY!!! Those are really overpriced though

But awesome! Some of them have some questionable mods though...

I have the Oz brochure here somewhere!

[pip bip]

@rallydarkstrike this one is cheaper, BYO engine though.

[RallyDarkstrike]

Luckily engines are easy to get in Poland!

@pip-bip I'm stunned that there are that many 126s for sale in Australia. The only time I've ever seen one here was on Google Streetview.

@pip-bip
Granted not a 126.

How about an expensive 1973 Fiat Abarth 127, 1.3 GT dr.

£17,995. 5,239 miles.

@svend jeez, it is nice, but not for £18k

[svend]

@pip-bip
Exactly.

I'm like that when I see a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton for £50,000. Yes it's good, there's history but really. £50k for a Carlton. Nope.
