You'll be surprised now a days, 5 years ago, i'd have agreed with you.

Nope, about right really. remember they're 17-19 years old

Nice car, but didn't cause the stir the LC did, or break records for it's body style.

Are they overrated? IMO no. :thumb:

[Sloth]

hmmm for me, ill have a lc motor in a royale coupe.

[Mike]

Obviously your gonna disagree, because you own one lol

Although the aforementioned BMW did cause quite a stir, being first pillar'less coupe on the production market at that time ;)

[Sloth]

mike, you forget the 1950's yank pillarless stuff....

edit: juust realised i read yer post wrong...

[Mike]

mike, you forget the 1950's yank pillarless stuff....

[Ben]

I was offered a LC last year for £3.5k and its still sat there now!

[Paul]

Rotten, crashed, engine-less?

[Sloth]

kinda true mate, but the late 50s stuff did have electric everything and a/c and push button change.... also fords fairlane from 58 had the first electric folding hardtop :thumb:

[Ben]

Rotten, crashed, engine-less?

needs 2 rear quarters, painting down both sides. i reckoned on £2k repair bill to have it done right.

Car has all the right History, sensible miles etc etc.

[Paul]

Bargain!

[burgo]

Nope, about right really. remember they're 17-19 years old

[Keif]

Well whatever your opinion, just for me personally I'd only ever EVER buy one to break for parts, same as Sport. I have no interest in alleged iconic GM's to be honest.

[Bubba]

the one i wanted was £30k, and was showroom cond.

and £3.5k?? why did u not rip his arm off....if i was offered on for that i would be off to the bank. its the one car i aim to own.

wouldnt mind a nice 67 black impala fastback either (same as one in supernatural)

[Paul]

Theyre bloody awesome cars!!!

[Ben]

Very long story but its not going anywhere at the moment.

Let's hope you don't get yours hand on either then :thumb:
