  • Sportbak – Enough Said.

    Sportbak – Enough Said.

    Yes, folks, it’s the infamous Nissan Pulsar Sportbak.  The idea here was that the car could be used three ways – as a ‘mini wagon'(shown), a hatchback using a different hatch or open air with no hatch at all and the t-tops found on most, if not all, of these cars.  Yes, this one comes…

  • Why NOT make a Toyota pickup into a Giant Radio Flyer wagon?

    Why NOT make a Toyota pickup into a Giant Radio Flyer wagon?

    There’s not much I can add to this one. The seller claims it’s unfinished and needs its multimedia system installed.  This seems like the type of thing that’s never really finished. Click for Craigslist ad Lake Elsinore, CA $12,200 Ad text: My Name is Roger and you are looking at a full-size “Radio Flyer Wagon”.…

  • Vauxhall Victor Super Wagon

    Vauxhall Victor Super Wagon

    A Vauxhall in the US?  Yes, these were sold at Pontiac dealers once upon a time. Sadly, we don’t know the interior condition, but the exterior looks complete and this is even a left hand drive car.   Click for Craigslist ad Baldwin Park, CA $2,995 The trim all appears to be present – paint…

  • Very Rough Subaru 360

    Very Rough Subaru 360

    Is this one worth the trouble?  The seller say it might be a Young, which was the sporty version. It may technically be salvageable and not a bad deal if bought cheaply.  It will help if you can find a restoration shop which charges by the pound. Click for Craigslist ad Arizona, USA No Price…

  • 4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    Though this look like a B12 Sentra “Sport Coupe” from some angles, it’s a 1988 Subie GL hatchback, which means you get 4WD as part of the mix.  This would arguably be the ultimate winter beater in a snow state, but it would be a shame to encourage it to rust away. This seems to…

  • Super Trooper?

    Super Trooper?

    Troopers are rarely seen these days, but they’ve always been cool and quite capable off road.  This two-door with manual trans steps things up a notch! This looks like a great vehicle and I’m not sure that 200K+ miles is much for an Isuzu truck. Click for Craigslist ad South Bay, CA $2,400 Sporty two-door!…

  • Lexus, Long Before Lexus

    Lexus, Long Before Lexus

    The Crown was Toyota’s most luxurious offering for many years.  It was sold in the US for a short time and this could be a genuine US car, considering the steering wheel location. The seller doesn’t specify, but it seems the RS40 designation may mean it is powered by a 1.9-liter inline four, instead of…

  • Quickie:  Cheap Brick with Entertaining Ad

    Quickie: Cheap Brick with Entertaining Ad

    This could be a deal at $500 if you’re willing to figure out why it won’t rev.  If this is a K-Jet car, it might be easy to target.  Also, I love a couple things about this ad.  First, the picture below is the only one and it’s a phone screen shot.  Why would anyone…

  • Lotus Esprit V8.  Scariest Project Ever?

    Lotus Esprit V8. Scariest Project Ever?

    These aren’t old enough to fall into the ‘project’ category often.  Would you take it on? The engine is out of the car and, supposedly, two of everything needed will be included in the sale.  Why? Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $17,000 Ad text: Vehicle Basics: 1998 Lotus Esprit V8.
