I love the sellers name too, Spacer. Lol

Would suit a Suzuki main dealer as a promotional car

would he g'way out of that. 'come see the awful econoboxes we used to make in the nineties' is hardly the same as going to a bmw garage with a showroom M5 that took part in a race or something.

What would that actually be worth? Obviously that price is utterly mad but is it rare enough that it would fetch a price if mint? I wouldn't drive it anyway!

I'm pretty certain a good one with nct and tax was advertised in the last 12 months for 950

€2850

I drove a 1l automatic one of them around new Zealand. Did about 1500k in a few weeks, mostly driving hills like mountains. Worst car I've ever drove.

What a spacer

Nice car but he’s dreaming if he thinks someone is going to swap “property or land with an old house” for his 96 camero.

160 BHP = Muscle Car?

colm_mcm · 17-07-2018 10:26AM

It's pretty embarrassing having a 3.4 with only 160bhp

Years back I had a mustang with a 302 engine, a 5ltr V8

120bhp from the factory.

They have low RON rating petrol in the US (Or are least the used to have)
So they needed big capacity engines to get the power.

Also because the engines are under less stress, they can use cheaper components.
A lot of older muscle cars are very agricultural in their design because of this.

they dont use RON ratings in the states do though? that is a european thing. A rating of 91 at the pump in the US is the equivalent of 95 RON and 87 in the states is the equivalent of 91 RON here.

As with so many things, the Americans do things differently to the rest of the world.

They use the average of MON (Motor Octane Number) and RON (Research Octane Number - what most of the rest of the world uses, including us) to get AKI (anti-knock index), colloquially known as 'octane'. MON is typically 6 to 12 units lower than the RON equivalent, but they are not the same, as they are measured at different engine speeds.

87 AKI (or '87 octane' in US English) = 91 RON
91 AKI = 95 RON
93 AKI ('premium gas') = 98 RON

I always buy the cheap stuff to be honest. Its going into a rental car with less than 10k miles on it usually and I never see the effects of the next tank

To be fair power dropped hugely int eh 70's as a result of emission controls and only came back to the point where a 302 engine passed 200bhp in the 90's.

Agricultural is a good description, I also like lazy.

Big heavy steel lumps, over sized over weight and (in some ways) over engineered. Big unstressed blocks that physically incapable of revving.. get them anywhere near a red-line and valves will start hopping, springs snapping and holes will appear in blocks..

Saw that (or the other 1 in the country) a good few years ago at a garage in donabate.

Young naive me thought to myself, "jaysus, must be worth 20 grand!".

Saw it online for 5k.

Note that there are 2 owners in Ireland yet he brought it in from the UK.

Seller also has an FQ300 and a diesel Maestro for sale, which to be fair you have to admire him for having.
