    I could never find a Lancia Fulvia Sport in this condition:



    They're rare. Damn rare. I found one on Hemmings and the prices keep escalating:

    1990-1993 Accord wagon in clean, rust-free condition, with a manual. All I see are ricemobiles, automatics, and rusty/beat to hell JUNK. I've been looking for many years.

    They usually look like this:

    I looked for a '93LE forever when I was Miata shopping back in 2000...drove one that was beat to hell, and passed on it. Ended up with a '94 British Racing Green.

    I still lust after the 93LE...the nice ones are $$$, and the beat up ones are hard to return to new, due to the interior pieces and BBS wheels being so rare.

    easy.... if i was looking for something uber rare, I would go on a hunt for one of these.

    Volvo T5-R with low mileage and in mint condition. yeah right.

    Yellow with anthracite wheels would be fine.

    I spent most of 2008 looking for a low mileage 2004 SVT Focus ZX5 in silver with the european appearance package (recaros etc).
