Rare and Unwanted!

[Festiva_Fred]

Wow, I was going to post the Ford EXP and you beat me to it, which is crazy considering most people have never heard of them. It was my first car and I've been pining over it for years. They have become nearly impossible to find. Mine looked like this one, only with the rear window that bubbled outward. This is a great thread idea.

I know where a EXP is.. not too far from me, just sitting in some guys backyard.

Dang! There are many cars on here that I'd love to have! LOL Including the EXP. I really like those totota vans too! And that '72 Olds... that thing is sweet! I like the AMC Eagle too!

Here's one for you.

1973 VW Thing.



When these came out they were everywhere. Now, I can't remember the last time I've seen one.

Another.

Renault LeCar.



Had one back in the 80's Had a funtop and rode like a Cadillac. It took 12" tires too and even back then, 12" tires were hard to find

I just saw a Renault LeCar today in the junkyard that had a funtop, but it was torn to crap.

My father in law has one of those in his garage. Don't think it's even been started in 20 years.

I had a LeCar, sold it to buy the Festiva in 1988.
Was a pretty nice car really....and yes they did ride very nice, typical of a french car. My dad bought it for me and I didn't know how to drive it! It had a 4-speed, and I hadn't learned to drive a manual trans yet! He said, "well, if you want this car, you better learn how". Also it had a manual choke, which was great.

Gotta get my Merkur on the road this year. I have more disposable income, but less useable time. We shall see. Ill dig up a pic for y'all. Deathegg saw it.

Ohh how about the chevette... I never thought much about them till I seen the vauxhal version and found out about its rally history.

[Futurefesty90]

i really dont like those. i drove my moms old chevette, no power.

[batstiva]

I had an ex girlfriend who had a Chevette with a factory V-6. Think it was a sport edition, or something like that. That little thing would scoot. But the base 4 cylinders were pretty gutless.
Still actually see a few of them on the road around here.

[deathegg]

Hmmm, the Chevette never came with a V6. I remember looking into it about 15 years ago, because I thought it would be pretty cool to have a V6 or V8, but it takes alot of fabrication to put one in. They did come with a Diesel, and nowadays they have become a cult favorite amongst the Chevette enthusiasts.

i remember hearing the older 3.8 V6 from an Oldsmobile that has the dist. on the front of the engine, will drop right into a chevette
