built by Clifford Tardieu....there's avid floating around somewhere....saw it in Chaguanas on Saturday.....dead sexy....I don't normally go for thre big rim deal, but on this car, the rim really suits it

[TriniKKK]

I have been looking for available 70s american muscle cars for purchase for the past month and half. I have spoken to Kazim, Mr. Tardieu, Mr. Sparkman, Mr. Aberdeen and Brendon (Tobago) and viewed some of their available vehicles without luck. I am now out of possible leads and would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying possible leads for 70s american car owners preferably Camaros, Firebirds or Chevelles. Price range max 150k but for that price the vehicle condition has to be good.

Please call me at 280-8019 or pm me your number so that we can make contact on any possible leads.


Thanks.

My friend, what you are attempting to do... many have tried and have been trying for YEARS. A very well known and respected radio personality went to visit a guy who owns a gt350 67 Mustang and went with $100,000 in a bag...and was told to come back with another bag....and the car has over $175,000 worth of repairs to be done it eh! Might sound funny but that is how it is these days. Its simply supply and demand rules.

And those 5 gentlemen you mentioned are prob the best you could have gotten a lead or contact from. There arent many more people that have as many leads and cars as those guys.

You named 3 muscle cars that are among the least available here in T&T. Take the Camaro and Mustang is the picture below.

The Camaro belongs to a family member of mine and 5 years ago he was "toying" with the thought of selling...for $275,000 and then he built a stroker 383 and brought in parts to restore it. And the 69 Mustang...that guy spent over $25,000US in parts alone and had me rebuild it from the ground up.

Sorry to sound matter of fact like but had you owned one, would any amount of money MAKE you sell it?

All of the 70s Muscle Cars are now in high demand down to the once lowly and unattractive late 70s Camaros and Mustangs.

You will have no choice but to "lower" your expectations, settle for a car that isnt legendary and BUILD something within your budget like a 74-79 Camaro/Mustang/Chevelle from the ground up or double that $150g and go BEG the owners of those cars to put you on the list. You might also want to look twice at the ones you have been seeing recently and look at them from another angle....step back a bit and try to envision what the finished product CAN look like. There are a few 74-78 Mustangs out there you can get for $20g-$50g. Chowtie in Penal/Debe has one.

I'm posting 3 vids here for you to get a picture of what is the reality here in T&T...we have to MAKE our own dreams. The 76 Mustang in the 2nd video I got after waiting for 3 years for the lady to finally agree to sell it...Again, sorry for putting it so bluntly.







I havent been all that well recently and have cut back on my projects, but still take on jobs that move me and that are worth it financially. Feel free to call 382 4926.

For sale
new front rotors
four new Dunlops
New suspension overhaul (troublesome hydragas system replaced by coil and spring kit)
Reliable? Got me to Blanchicuesse and back, with five hours of traffic on the return (Team Loco can verify)
AC needs gassing...I never bothered because with the engine in the back, the car is always cool, and well, the top goes down
Speedo cable needs to be replaced...once you cross 2,500rpm in 5th, the electronic power steering cuts out because it takes signal from the tach....reset means pulling and putting back in a fuse....again, I don;t do more than 70-8- so this was never a problem to my lazy a$$....I'd consider replacing it for the new owner

Car is a 1999
Mid engined, so some jobs can be a bit challenging
Runs fine but it's old and British...I wouldn't recommend beating south to town every day with it
It was tough enough to do a full season of autocross last year, with 2nd overall class championship result though

Asking 75k
I'm an ignorant iron so expect ignorant iron answers to dumb questions like 'whey yuh does get parts for dat?'

I thought so. That car is a chick car for sure. GLWS.

[MG Man]

bai, tbh I really doh wanna sell, but just bought another toy, and space tight....so is three cars that drivable under my house, plus wifey car, plus three 'cars' that are in pieces, scattered like hopes and dreams across the island, so yeah, basically de champagne taste and mauby pocket lifestyle catchin up to mih
This is the one I have the least attachment to, so if someone wants to buy it, I guess it will go....unless I keep inventing reasons to sabotage the sale :p
Really nice drivers car though...not a huge amount of horsepower, but great handling, nice light steering effort, turn in is wonderful

[Ted_v2]

What you buy shotta?

[MG Man]

he has three now
he got a 924 turbo that needs fixing up, and we dragged home a rotten old 924 just because it was free and they were going to dump it
Probably gonna salvage the transaxle for another project next year

[hindian]

Taking a page from MG Man's book! I posted this a year ago on behalf of an old family friend.
Original and near immaculate Celica-Supra with just over 46,000 miles on the clock! Manual 2.8 inline 6, fully powered. As far as I know, I don't think there is any locally sold Celica-Supra out there in such beautiful condition. If any of you are SERIOUSLY (I can't stress that enough) interested, please call 683-6944, Mr. Dupres. He is asking for $65K or nearest offer.

Added a few more pics!
