Getting the itch again.....

[Honky Kong jr]

is it a regression or a progression I'm not sure but I've always wanted one of these and I found one just like in the pic. I'd love to do an LS3 swap in one.......am I nuts or what?

Yes you are, heres how I know. I have been running through the scenario where I put an LS in Jag, 2000 ish BMW 5 series, or Lincoln LS. not sure what all is involved but always talk myself out of it as it doesn't make sense for me to have a vette, my truck , one of the above, and then my Corolla daily driver. Much less the time to work on all of them.

I know what your saying but my truck is all but done and I need something to do. Building stuff is where I get the enjoyment and with out anything to do I will go nuts for sure. I pass that 560SEC everyday and it keeps speaking to me in a language I understand....it keeps saying help me....

That's a tough spot, because that would be totally badass with an LS swap. I can't wait to have my truck almost done, to where I can seriously consider the next project. I keep finding all kinds of cool **** that I would love to tinker with, but have to make myself look away, because I have too much to do besides the truck right now.

Yeah tell me about it. I haven't stopped yet to even look at it. Just drive bys. I don't care if it runs or not. Hell it could be a unicorn 5 speed car for all I know...which would indubitably put it above my price range......

Oh I know......usually I get a cash offer and that makes them done. Lol I'm also tormented with the idea of another Harley as well.

I would love to get one and drop a 6.0L in and top it with a rebuilt factory blem CTS-V charger, trailed by a Tremec T56. I've drove a few of these and while they are fun, they need some help with handling and an auto just doesn't cut it for the sideways fun factor.

Definitely NOT nuts, man. This is on my commute, so I see it twice a day. ‘91 560SEL, running and driving for $2200.
If my red truck hadn’t died, I was going to pick this up and park it for the next project. LSA supercharged 5.3 w/ a T56, a badass roadtrippin’ powerhouse for the times when my Suburban wasn’t needed.

Jag wiring sucks ass, BMW never and isn't that Lincoln front wheel drive? Of the 3 I'd take the Lincoln and that says a lot.......

I had an 87 300e I loved that car. It was a sad day when she left. I love me some German cars except BMW. I still have my MB park how ever and where ever card lol. It's metal and comes in the owners manual. Lol

Those are nice too I just have a soft spot for the older MB cars. Idk it's a Roadhouse thing and I would definitely need a set of chrome Hammers for it.

I don't think you're nuts. I think the older German cars are pretty cool, well-built, and reliable, and life's too short to deny yourself the things you want when they're at least somewhat feasible to acquire. Plus, that thing would scream with an LS3. That being said I hate all of those sons of bitches they make now and have been making for the past bit. VWs, Porsches, Mercedes-Benz, and BMWs especially. They are over-engineered in my opinion, and they foreshadow the ridiculous beyond imagination planned obsolescence designs that haven't already caught on with the domestic automakers. Anyways, that's my rant. I know you like some of those newer things, and I understand why - because you're an adept mechanic on them, but they just don't blow my skirt up. The newer ones, that is.

Those Mercs are all over the Tampa/whorlando/Miami craigslists.

Usually with giant wheels and gold trim
