My brother owned a Courier, and loved it. Until it was stolen and found a week later upside down in a flood control channel. (Back when California actually had water in them)

YES!!! Bring back the Courier. I think there is a market for something in the size of the old "mini-trucks", like the Courier, Datsun (we had a '77 King Cab), Toyota SR5. The current crop of small trucks, like the Tacoma, are as big or bigger than an 80's F150.

 

Yes indeed, the compact pickup is no longer compact.

I always liked the lines on a Datsun 620 pickup. Even came with a 2.2l smoker.

I love this VW!

Cool little trucks, but slower than a snail on a good day.

Mayhaps this one is faster.


Volkswagen Bus Vanagon Doka 1 9 Turbo Diesel 5 Speed | eBay

 

That looks cool. Too bad it is a 5-speed. And on the other side of the country

Jim

 

wudda mean! haha hard to steal i see!

 

I can't drive a stick shift due to my disability, so I would not be able to drive it if I were to buy it. (Of course, I also don't have 10 grand lying around either, so the point is moot.).

Jim

 

She's up to 12 grand now.

Wowza.


1971 Ford F250 Camper Special Explorer Special 14,000 original miles

 

Interesting. Another vehicle bought and not driven. I will never understand why people do that. There is no way I would buy a brand new vehicle, and then keep it prisoner in my garage. 14k miles in 44 years? Of course it is in excellent condition, it was hardly ever driven.

A year or so ago, I found a 1988 20th anniversary Firebird Trans Am on Craigslist for $38k essentially what the owner paid for it in 1988, (they posted a photo of the window sticker still on the window). It had every possible option, and a turbocharged Buick V6 engine. It still had the plastic over the seats, and less than 100 miles on the odometer. The original owner bought it brand new and parked it in his garage. The reason it was for sale is because he passed away, and the estate was selling it. He never enjoyed it.

I know people can do whatever they want with the vehicles they buy, but keeping them hidden and not driving them is one thing I will never understand. Anyone else feel this way, or am I crazy?
