I'm always looking for an engine lathe or turret lathe or a lathe that can do engine sized work. A turret lathe has a rotating turret with any number of tools to swing into position. This is mostly for manufacturing where tooling changes would slow down the production line. So a turret could be set up to drill, bore, face and part a piece without a single change. One-off parts don't really require that kind of efficiency, but nobody would complain about not having to change tools all the time.

Temptation of the Day: 69 Toyota Crown
Saw this on BAT. 1969 Toyota Crown (or Toyopet? ). 1960s Toyota lowrider/hot rod potential. I'm pretty sure it has no engine, and the price is up in the air. Something I don't need at the moment is another non-drivable car, even if it is sans-rust. Someone git it!

Euro 280CE. Many parts interchangeable with W116
This one also suffers the expected rust

Bronco ugly, $850

'74 F100 longbed. Nice 'patina' $800, reasonable
http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/2500977912.html
Triumph GT6 bring a trailer and $600. That's worth it. One of the best looking Triumphs.

Bavarians for rescue
Nothing special.
An e23 (733i) only 300k miles, sitting for 10 years. I'm partial to e23 slant noses.
This one is probably a nightmare. But Wilmette is so close, why not take a look?
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/2488097506.html
Und ein e30:

Far, but so cheap. Electrical gremlins.
Seriously though, I'm waiting for a 70s New Class roller. So's that I can drop a M30 engine in it.

F100s at auction
Mind you this truck is almost new, even though it was built in 1976. 1200 miles on the clock.
