While the official listing price (on my buddy Craig’s Lists in both Los Angeles and Orange County) has dropped down to $3300, it’s important to know that things have actually improved on the SS Country Sedan since the last time I brought it up. Specifically, it’s idling like it should, sports dual…

No. Turbo Corvair Spyder motor in a metalflake, fiberglass, super-groovy 1968 VW-based dune buggy? Yes.
