A neglected example of one of these. Can't currently find one on my local Craigslist equivalent, but
>Maserati-sourced V6
>way ahead of its time, very complex hydraulics running all throughout the car
>relatively rare, making parts hard to find
>from a time when rustproofing wasn't really a thing
>only specialists at the time were even willing to work on them

I mean, have you even seen that engine bay?

That is a great shout, totally forgot about them. Found a couple, this one looks semi ok:

But this one is an utter lost cause. Don't know if it meets the "drivable" criteria but fuck it

Even worse than the Jag XJS Z12 one. Jesus

>leave interior and exterior in this exact condition
>swap in some random V6 with decent parts support and a transaxle that will let it stay FWD
>take off everything that doesn't work and rewire it with a hot rod harness
Would make a pretty interesting rat rod.

you can probably fit 6 doritos in there

>>17087471
I mean it fits 12 cylinders, 6 doritos isn't much of a stretch.

What about this gem:

Don't they have some ridiculously complex vacuum / hydraulic braking system? What a find

>>17087575
I love how he talks about how great and solid the car was before being parked up as if 23 years in "storage" has has no effect on it

>>17087216
How much would it cost to run these cars? I really want that silver spur now.
