The ebay thread

Like that Ranchero but needs bigger tubs. Coincidentally my recent most favourite insta account is one that just posts Pro Street cars.

I kinda want this instead though - solid walnut bits!

That's been for sale for ages. Or is up for sale again. Either.

I remembered a piece about it (possibly your link above) but didn’t remember it was for sale. It’s simultaneously horrific and cool. Coorific?

[Sundayjumper]

Yeah, I love the fact someone was mental enough to build it (and think that 499 other people would want one too), but zero desire to own it.

From that link:

Gwynn had hoped to build 500 of his “Gwynn Prix” luxo-cruisers, but this was the only one he ever made. Chalk that up to the asking price of $50,000 in 1973. That was more than 10 times the price of the 1973 Grand Prix it used as a foundation, and adjusted for inflation that’s more than $290,000 today.

$290k. Crazy. Nobody would pay that to put a ridiculous bodykit on a car nowadays.

Huh ? Mansory are on the phone ?

[Sundayjumper]

I ordered some of this and was going to post a PSA because it's a great price then realised it's BMW LL98 not LL04 and had a panic.

But it seems the biggest difference between LL98 & LL04 is low SAPS to make it compatible with DPFs. Most of my cars don't have a DPF so I'm going to use it anyway.

+1. I think the Hagerty piece was from one of the previous times it was up for sale. Istr it was posted on here before '21.
Horrificool?

@nuttinnew Cue mik repeating again how much he loves these conceptually, but they are at least 80bhp down on where they need to be.....

Yup It might suit being a Rover better, low rev lazy happiness rather than high(er) rev disappointment.

I can't remember who was talking a small van for t' mrs (carlos?), Sunday Jumper suggested a Vito but that's too big so from the onvs suggestion is; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Ben ... 6016.l4276

Who’s spending a £150k on this carbuncle.

[DeskJockey]

It isn't completely horrible, but looks a bit off from every angle.

[Mito Man]

It just looks really cheap and tacky. The grill, wheels, rear lights and trim. The rear lights must be off a bus but I can't place it!

[integrale_evo]

Yeah, most probably just the generic hella lights used everywhere, don’t do anything for me, would have been better doing something retro styled and not just a wonky weirdly proportioned copy of an existing one.

20s as standard thank you ( my winter set are 19s ) I wouldn’t mind something different, but haven’t really liked any aftermarket wheels I’ve seen on them.
