An Urban Legend Lives? Alleged Shelby CV525
The seller claims this is a Shelby CV525, which is basically an internet rumor, and that is it one of ten, with only two in the US. Why would ANY Crown Victoria exist outside the US? Why is this interesting, you ask? Because it claims to be a Panther with supercharger and manual trans. Unfortunately,…

Rare 6MT Jaguar X-Type
The Jaguar X-Type was based on the Ford Mondeo platform, but was offered only with all-wheel drive in the US to help it compete with RWD offerings from BMW and Mercedes (and later the Japanese luxury brands). Although it was panned by most when compared to the Germans and Japanese, enthusiasts know this platform and…

French Family Hatchback
Today’s feature car is a Renault 16 (R16), which was Renault’s large family hatch from the mid 1960s until 1980. After all, it wouldn’t be a European car from that period if it wasn’t built for fifteen years… The seller claims this one runs and it certainly appears original. What’s the downside? It has been…

The Warrior – A Delightful Combination of Hideous and Creepy
What do you get when you add murals, mods, tufting, custom cabinets, a Vista Cruiser roof and far too many LED lights to an Astro van? This – THE WARRIOR! The seller is both the 4th and 2nd owner of this van. Apparently, he sold it and then traded something to get it back. Somewhere…

Convertible Chevy Dually with 454
Structural rigidity? What’s that? This Chevy dually has had its roof chopped entirely off and its windsheild chopped, as well. No roll bar was added for support, so this much have ‘interesting handling. The only good news is it’s body on frame, so, in truth, it’s less of a handling problem than an overall rigidity…

Quickie: Flintmobile!
Does this “car” need any introduction? Apparently, this is based on a golf car, which means it isn’t street legal. Still, this might be the strangest thing in your retirement community! Click for eBayad McHenry, IL, USA (or northern Florida?) $4,000 with ZERO bids, reserve not met, absurd $29,995 BIN price and a bit under…

Seeking the Holy Grail? Why W8? Act now!
Act now, as the Grail has been found! We hereby present a Passat W8 wagon with manual transmission. These are rare in any condition, but this one claims under 42,000 miles and appears to be in superb condition. A low-mile, AWD, V8 wagon with manual trans? Yes, indeed – it doesn’t get much better. Even…

Hatchback + Engine Upgrade + Manual Yields Zoom-Zoom
Many may never have realized that the first generation “GG” Mazda6 offered three body styles at launch: sedan, wagon and hatchback. Today’s example is the rare hatch with V6 and manual. The Mazdaspeed 6 will always be the performance leader, but these Duratec V6-powered examples are no slouches and the Speed 6 was only offered…

2012 Camaro on 32s (DubTwelves?)
Doesn’t the title say it all? We’re just amazed this has been bid up to almost $25K. Click for eBay ad Miami, FL, USA (of course!) $24,600 with 26 bids, no reserve and half a day to go No, it’s not photoshopped. Again… These guys don’t look very happy. How about a sideways picture of…

4WD Wagon FTW!
No, Ford never built ’em like this. This is a custom job involving a 1972 Gran Torino County Squire and something else. The seller claims this has a recently rebuilt 351 Cleveland with “special cam headers and carburetor.” The one engine shot shows no carb, so we’re not sure what to think of that. Presumably,…
