No matter how ugly the car or how much of a lemon it was, there are cult followings for every one. The allure of a project for some folks or having something that is quite uncommon trumps the poor financial decision it would be.
Correct, always wanted. Citroen DS, but someone always beat me to it, 15 years, quite happy with my Duster. Didn’t need to get a grey suit and a fedora.
back in the early 80s my high school friend Kirk and I worked at the local Ford dealer. They also sold Yugos. We had one with a bad engine. We were trying to get it from Ford for a song, because the customer made Ford buy it back through arbitration. We were going to put a 5.0 and a T5 in it. But alas, it was not to be. They wouldn't sell it to us. lol
