Corolla and Museum in One Sentence?
We don’t need to add much here – the seller is convinced this 1997 Corolla is in “Museum Condition.” We can’t verify that, because it’s likely no front-wheel drive Corolla has ever been in a museum. This is supposedly a “CE Classic Edition”,whatever that means. Bottom line here is this is reliable transportation with a…

A Jeep is just too large
The Crofton Bug was a mini-Jeep based on the prior Crosley Farm-O-Road and featuring a Crosley engine. These only offered two-wheel drive, but had dual transmissions to gear them down for slippery conditions. One recently crossed the block at auction and Hemmings has a very recent (pre-auction) article on that one. This is a running,…

Remember the Lumina? If so, why?
This front-wheel drive two-door vaguely resembles Chevy’s NASCAR entries in the early 90s much like today’s Camry vaguely resembles Toyota’s entry. Given this body was used in the race series, the Lumina was subjected to NASCAR Special Edition treatment! This particular version celebrates the late, great Dale Earnhardt. If you’re a die hard NASCAR fan,…

UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!
A first-gen Ford SVT Lightning is something of an Oddimobile in any case, as this was the only ‘performance’ version of this generation of F-Series and, frankly, was fairly modest. This one isn’t exactly stock, however, and one of the mods is what landed it on this page. There originally had a mildly hopped up…

The Real GLC was a Mazda, not a Mercedes
Mercedes decided that GLC was such a great name that they are stealing it from Mazda! It was, after all, a Great Little Car! Today’s feature car is not just any GLC – it’s a wagon version with manual trans. Basically, this is a 33-year-old Mazda with 140K miles, which means it may only barely…

Truck Free or Die!
This is a slightly smaller monster truck, but has plenty of size for a road vehicle. If you REALLY like Ford, this might be for you. If you need to justify the purchase, use the practical, all-season four-wheel drive and economical diesel to convince your wife. Where is this redneck truck, you ask? Why, it’s…

Citroen: Keeping France Weird Long Before Austin
Any Citroen is quite a sight, but this adds the strangeness (for the US market) of right-hand drive! The seller recently imported this car from the UK and claims it is registered in Oregon. Given it is from the 1974 model year, one might even be able to register this in California! Don’t get too…

British Black Gold
Ahh…the Lotus Europa. Never has such a great car been so amazingly ugly. Add in the black and gold John Player Special color scheme and you have one of the coolest, weirdest things ever. Unfortunately, this car’s owner had some health issues, so the car has sat unused since 2007 and was not prepped for…

Silvia with her Top Off: S15 Varietta Roller
Though the S13 and S14 Nissan Sylvias were popular in the US, where they were known as 240SX, the S15 verision, produced from 1999 to 2002, never made it to the US. Nissan did offer a soft-top convertible version of the S13 for a couple years, with that car converted at ASC in California. Few…

“The car smells like weed and Cool Water cologne.. oowee!”
Yes, this is Snoop Dogg’s “Snoop Deville”, which started life as a 1974 Coupe Deville. It has the requisite 90s lowrider bits, but the interior is remarkably subtle. The theme here is green. The celebrity factor accounts for most of the asking price here, as this would otherwise just be a ’74 Caddy lowrider, probably…
