I would highly recommend you guys don't go joining the group Obscure Cars for Sale. Because seriously, you don't want your feed filled with ads like this, or this, or this, or this, or this, or even this, not to mention the internal ads that get posted directly to the group such as a mint Euro 1969 Mercedes 250CE with 5-speed for four figures, a 450SEL 6.9, a Honda Beat, a factory 5-speed Grand Cherokee, or an RX4 wagon. Really, don't join it. Nobody has time for that E36 M3.
This has been a public service announcement.
the FutureLiner....much want
(after someone else restores it)
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of that group, it is often littered with non-obscure cars for sale and any mention that the ads aren't for obscure cars can get you booted from the group.
Behind the Seat or Jim's Obscure cars and Goats wearing sweaters groups are much more, um, GRM friendly :)
No. That just pisses me off that the 1uz w58 creddida wagon is in hawaii. I was reading the ad thinking "ok lets go get it" then saw "cleanest on the island" and got upset

...and we complain when a car is "merely" on the other side of the country...
I'm guessing shipping it back to the mainland (forget all the way to the east coast) would cost more than the asking price of the car.

I would like to nominate - BurnalltheMk4s
If you want a gigantic dick swinging match on who can get their 99-05 VW Golf or Jetta lower, static or bagged, and then complain the following week that they smashed their cast aluminum oil pan on a sesame seed, then it's your place!!!
EDIT: I thought you were serious - but apparently you were not. I was.

I enjoy the group, until I see Lil Red Express trucks and mid-70's Opel Mantas, then I'm all "why????????".

Because those are the two coolest cars ever, of course.

Somebody bring this to the challenge. There's no way it could end in tears.

In reply to dean1484:
I'll contribute fiddy bucks if you buy it as a challenge car .
In reply to BoxheadTim:
I'm pretty confident even if it had to be pushed by hand around the autox course and down the 1/4-mile it would still win an award.

You would win something for sure just for being insane enough to challenge a biturbo.
That Cressida needs be on a boat headed north right now. Why did you include the links? WHY?!

Because I have to look at many of them every day and suffer through the reality that I can't Catch 'Em All!!1 . I figure I'd share the pain around.

"Best offer over $2000." Well 2017 is over 2000...
Edit: or you could have this for about the same money.

Dear god man...why???? I don't need help spending money.
I had to quit that group about six months ago. I couldn't keep up with it.
