My uncle has a pair of C3s ('73s, both) with sidepipes. Wonderful cars.

...and yes, this C1 is amazing. The early C1s are gorgeous, and the fact that this one appears to actually move under its own power is even better.

I desperately want to own another 1st-gen 4Runner.

...and sure, it had a back seat, but it was cramped and difficult to get in and out of with the top on.

For me, it depends. For super high-end coachbuilt prewar cars, pure restoration is the only way to go: those cars were hand built to order in the first place. On the other hand, for mass produced cars, restomods are ok, as long as there is no LS swap involved (let's face it, it's the laziest, most unimaginative engine swap, ever.)

Oh no, I've posted this exact same comment on a truck thursday post months ago (there was a long while where I was unable to log in to Hooniverse at all in between now and then, and even now, only through IE).

Good thing working at night means I stay up 'til all hours of the morning drinking, so I have an excuse for these lapses now.

I've seen it in person! As of last summer, it was on display at the Harrah's car museum, in Reno.

FWIW, the Allstate was a badgineered Kaiser Henry J.

While this policy has not been tested yet, Lindsay and I have agreed that we are pretty much just going to both hoard cars as space allows. We are more or less aware of each others' crapheap wish lists (as an aside, I am allowing for a transmission shed for the 3000GT she aspires to; I just assume trannies are a wear item in Mitsubishis, if her former Eclipse was any indication).
