Car Guy Garage Sale March 2 Tampa 20+ Cars

We are having a car guy garage sale on Saturday, March 2nd from 9 am to 3 pm at Spin_out's place in Valrico, Florida near Tampa. Over 20 cars for sale, and a large selection of tools. All the cars need work to be drive-able. Photos available, but I am not even going to try to post them all. PM me for more info. All these are owned by Mark ("Spin_out") and have clear titles unless noted. Mark has collected these cars over the years, but now has bigger priorities and needs to clear them out. Some of these could be worth a lot, if someone can take the time to go through them and get them back in shape. Others are pretty humble cars that hopefully someone can save from the crusher or at least use for parts. See separate ad for tools in the parts forum here. Also see ads on this forum for Merkur XR4ti's, 1965 Mustang fastback, 1986 Mustang SVO.

Challenge Bricklin?  Parking lot build Bricklin?

Is the 62 Lark "Florida rusty" or "northern rusty"?

Awesome idea!  Malcolm Bricklin of course brought the Yugo to our shores, and we have seen those at the Challenge, but the Bricklin was his dream. I assume the 351 is junk but it shouldn't be hard to find another Ford V8 that will bolt in. So here is what a sub-$1,000 Bricklin looks like:

I had dreams of building a Bricklin Cart and taking it to The Challenge ........   as Brick-Art.   The motor is likely bad, but it's supposedly from a '70 Mach one, so it has pretty valve covers. etc.  For some reason the back rims look wider than the front but match.  I never figured out what the deal is.  

I believe Malcolm Bricklin introduced Subaru to America with the 360.

Robbie, you are the best.  

In reply to Danny Shields :

I'm 95% sure my Grandpa used to own that Bricklin. Not too many of them are painted...

In reply to logdog :

It was Mark's daily driver for a while. Then it was going to be a Challenge car. Then it sat in the pole barn for years. Looks to me like the driver's floor was replaced long ago. I thought I had pictures but this is the only one I can find right now. (The trunk lid is unbolted.)  The straight six is pretty cool, and the "sporty" two-door hardtop model is rare compared with the two-door post version. 

I'll just patiently wait for Delorean details, or not.  I'm already committed to an Alto this month, or else I might just be serious.

The DMC-12 is buried the deepest.  Part of the reason for having the car guy yard sale is to clear room to get it out.  I think 21k miles, 5 speed, black leather.  The coolant tank cracked, and it was parked.  They now sell a pretty aftermarket coolant tank.  I bought it around 1989 or so.    

The Lark is Norther rusty

Info on the Omni GLH??

The GLH was non running when I got it.  Owner said needed fuel pump.  I installed but never tried to start.  It's been heavily stripped to be turned into a Challenge car.  Its also sat outside for years and years without windows.  On jack stands with disassembled suspension.  It's not a gem.  I do have rear hatch louvers. (separate sale).  The car likely has ground effects and factory rims.

Does it have to be this list?  Did I claim mine too early?

I've always wanted a Delorean. I think they've increased in value considerably lately. I'm unlikely to be able to offer enough.

1)  Avanti pics pleez.  And I hope for the sake of my marriage it's not a 4-speed.

2)  Daytona IROC (not rare) or Daytona IROC R/T (suuuper rare, Turbo III 16-valve 2.2).  Would love pics as well.  

Stampie, You are the official first purchase(s) of this sale.  Especially since you are picking up in March.

The Avaint is an automatic.  And unfortunately still far too buried under other car parts to take photos.  It was sandblasted and primed.

Yes, its the IROC R/T with the cool motor and trans.  It had peeling paint so I repainted the original colour.

These photos are right after the repaint.  It's been sitting 10 years.  Danny may have dusty dirty photos.  I took it out for a ride and it came back with  fast idle.  That was the last straw for me, so I parked it in my pole barn.  For some reason the seats are inside my house right now.

I accidentally painted over fog lights.  Oops.  I did not paint the panel with the IROC R/T badge to save the sticker.

Thoughts are going thru my head for flying down to get a challenge car and driving it back....stripped would not make the journey home any fun dammit

In reply to spin_out :

Wow! I do have current photos, but the car does not look that pretty now.  If it cleans up anything close to that it will be quite a deal. It is amazing how dirty a car can get while parked in a pole barn under a car cover.

More info on the Fairlane please..

Was my first real car back in the day

My uncle had a '67 Red Fairlane when I was a kid, and I've loved the look of the 2 door hardtop since.  We have not been able to pull it out to get a good look at it's current condition. (So the price vary on this one.)  My neighbor insists on feeding feral cats which causes problems, like cats nesting under the hood.  I stripped it to bare metal and repainted it around 1993 in base clear.  My body shop teacher said paint jobs stay good for about 10 years.

1967 Fairlane 500.  Green with black vinyl top.  289 with automatic.  Factory A/C car (I'm assuming rare because I've only seen 2 others in 25 years.)  Was a bench seat base 500, but I put in XL seats and center console from a parts car.  I had the carb rebuilt, but had trouble getting the new gas tank sending unit to seal the tank.  That's where I stopped.  So like parked since 1997.  :(

1967 Fairlane Barn Find

All these cars have a title except for the MR2?

I don't need a bricklin. I didn't particularly want a bricklin before today.

The 351w weighs a lot more.than the 4a, so it will be harder to lot swap. The wiring should be loads easier however, even if we had to remake the entire car.

So many excellent brick themes... Jethro thick as a brick, shes a brick house, brick from anchor man, follow the yellow brick road, Lego brick, the list goes on.

In reply to Robbie :

Amen to the easier wiring!
