Pre-War (Barely) Crosley
We’ve posted a few Crosleys over the years, but this is the first time we’ve seen a pre-war Crosley for sale. The Crosley was designed to be the most affordable four-wheeled transportation available, and it shows. What that means today is these are cool little microcars for weekend drives (though perhaps not on the freeway).…

Your Snipe Hunt is Over!
Anyone who camped as a kid knows about snipe hunts. Despite the fact that snipe is a type of bird, we were all later told they were fruitless exercises meant to cause the youngest and/or most annoying on any given campout to disappear in the woods for extended periods. That has been proven wrong, as…

Save this Two-Fer from the Scrap Yard!
Oddly, we have never featured a Triumph GT6, despite it being a rarely-seen oddity among Triumphs. The GT6 is a coupe based on the Spitfire roadster and features an inline six in place of the Spitfire’s four cylinder engine. As we have been remiss in failing to feature one, we hereby present a GT6 two-fer!…

Our Most 70s Post in Quite Some Time
We’re fans of any ad that rightfully includes the “time capsule” quote and proudly calls attention to the presence of a Craig 8-track player and Muntz speakers. Yes, this is a full 70s custom built on a Datsun pickup in the heart of the Corvette Summer days. Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $7,500 The…

NSU Plus Pallet Equals Major Win!
Here we have an NSU Prinz project with no wheels or tires attached to a wooden pallet. It was previously in a barn fire, so it has street cred. The seller was apparently going to make it into a junior rat rod with a Yanmar diesel engine in place of the original inline two cylinder…

Trevor’s Tasty 2500M
Most enthusiasts know that TVR was named after its founder, Trevor Wilkinson. TVR was never a big volume manufacturer and was always known for handling, performance and quality issues. These 70s M-series cars replaced the relatively successful Vixen and Tuscan at the time and were really a major minor change. They always offered very light weight…

Most Exciting Camry Ad Ever!
This is likely the most exciting because it doesn’t really show the Camry. Note that the ad text may also reveal some mental instability on the part of the seller. Click for Craigslist ad Inland Empire, SoCAL $571 Ad text (yes, it was in this order): grey cloth 4cylinder strong engine runs and shifts very…

Rarely Seen First-Gen RX-7 Project
The first generation RX-7 was a fairly common sight in the 80s and early 90s, but we confess we have not seen one in a very long time except perhaps at Cars and Coffee. Today’s feature car is a project, but the price is low enough that it might make sense. The end result would…

Track or Street? Guiseppe’s Alfa GTV6 Callaway Twin Turbo
Okay, so this isn’t an original Callaway car, but the engine and turbo setup were swapped in from a real one which was wrecked. Purists may scoff, but we’re rather glad this engine lives on in another Alfa and wasn’t scrapped with the car. This is almost a plank canvas – could easily be a…

Was this your Mother’s Oldsmobile?
We’re going out on a limb and saying no, as this appears to be a 1991 model with a bit over 12K miles and no evidence of sticky fingers, Cheerios or other messy kids’ stuff. The question is why? If you want an Olds Silhouette, this is the one to get. Will anyone want one…
