The CB radio really sets the vibe. I like it!

Why does every owner of a rat E36 M3 project think mentioning Jay Leno means something?

My brother had a 75 25 years ago (Ford 351 instead of AMC 360).

 

The doors are notorious for leaking, so I can smell the mold just looking at that interior. I feel likethe price is a bit high for a car that doesnt run, but then I havent really watched closely in about 10 years. 

 

Fun cars, lots of parts bin was used building them, so its not too awful. That said there is a lot of "they cuold have done this better when they made it" in the cars to figure out. 

At the end of the day, its equavilent to a solid rear axle mid 70's corvette in most performance and use parameters, but more sleuthing needed to work on it. A fun and quirky cruiser. There are times I miss my brothers.

I don't think he's trying to use Jay as clout, just saying there's a resource if you want to know more about the make/model.

I will say a video like the ones Leno doe are good for building excitement about a car. Watch a video about X, it gets your brain wanting X. Might make you get an attachment where you dont walk away from a deal as easily. Might make you pay a bit more...

How many times has one of us seen one of those videos and added something to our FB marketplace search terms?  I know Hagerty got me looking up Pantera prices awhile back.
