Turret Lathe for < 1k

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!

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?

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.
