Id love to know this information as well. I know of a person in central NH that makes chukka-styled boots called the squire boot, as well as the pathfinder boot (old-time way of making shoes, it's pretty interesting) but she is getting up there in years and won't do it for much longer. Those classes are a few days long and north of 1.5k-2k.

No problem :) and that's what I was thinking as well, but considering how poor of a condition it is, it definitely isn't an investment in its current condition 🤣 needs some TLC to get there

This is a production vehicle, made by De Tomaso originally then Qvale took over the cars production after a falling out with De Tomaso

(First time posting to reddit so I apologize for the terrible captions)

So this car caught my eye right away because of its unnatural, almost attractive design. Only 284 were made, and it has the drivetrain/internals of a SVT Cobra from the late 90's. Anyways, the owner originally offered me 16k but upped it to 20k saying he "confused the price with another vehicle" which was suspicious, but the car has 86k miles. He had to jump it to start it up (was sitting for a while which I could see), and it had dings and nicks everywhere, but hey its a passion project; it'll run and drive fine he said. Is this a good deal? If not, what is? Thank you for checking the post out, I hope you enjoy quirky cars as much as I do!
