Default Craigslist but a solid car

Ok so a little history, this is the first production turbo car and it came with methanol and a V8, only 9xxx were made between like 1962 and 1963.

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/1593582785.html

If I had the $6500 I would be on it. Cool car, found one once for $3500 from some old lady and tried to get my dad to get it but well my mom said "If we have money for some old car then we have money for something for the house"... silly women. lol.

Also found this too damn some nice cars out there.

Haha, silly women and their silly kitchens.....



pardon my lack of knowledge, but did the "berger panel" gets its name from the "special edition" from "Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan"? just curious because I've always wondered where the name came from.

Yeah, I believe that's where the panel gets the name from. It just stuck with most people.
