How About a REAL Fiesta?
Not too many years ago, I could search “Fiesta” and only find these quirky euro imports from the late 70s. Now, with the (welcome in ST form) return of the Fiesta, things are more complicated. Luckily, these cool little cars still come along from time to time, although sometimes horribly overpriced, like this one. The…

How Is This Not In Florida?!
Whomever modified this car didn’t miss a single page in the J.C. Whitney catalog… What can I possibly add to this? Well, okay, comments are with the images. Click for eBay ad Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada $305 with two bids and no reserve This must be the most awesome side exhaust setup I’ve seen, with the…

Welcome the 80s with a 242GT!
This isn’t our first Volvo 242GT, but these are absolutely worth posting! No, they don’t offer a lot of power, but they offer cool rarity and their own brand of sporty on top of the already awesome brick. Any concerns you have over power and handling can easily be addressed by a visit to IPD’s…

Quickie: Honda 600 Pickup is Too Good to Go Away
Some cars are too cool not to perpetually be for sale and that’s why this is a recycled post. This is still in Idaho, but it looks like the car did indeed change hands, as Rudy sold it in October and Kevin is selling now. If Kevin won the eBay auction from last year, he…

Datsun Roadster SR20 project
I love the idea of a Nissan SR20DE engine in a ’67 Datsun roadster. Why not take a highly regarded car and add a high-revving 2.0-liter four? I don’t love the idea of taking on someone else’s incomplete project. This project is not for the faint of heart, but an installed engine that starts, along…

Did You Ever Think You’d See a Scirocco Project Car?
It’s hard to believe this car is 27 or 28 years old, but here it is – an 80s Volkswagen Scirocco project car. Strangely, someone did the paint, then let it sit in the elements for three years. The engine and transmission are missing, but you do get a new grille! What would you do…

Random Sighting: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
Here’s something you don’t see a lot of these days – Kids riding in the back of a station wagon in rear facing seats! These two were with their grandparents on a Wal-Mart trip and after stopping to chat about the unique seating configuration learned some history. This Vista Cruiser was bought new and they…

Just Another Jeans Gremlin
What’s not to love about a Levi’s Edition Gremlin? The seller calls this an excellent candidate for restoration. Is any Gremlin really excellent or worthy of restoration? I suppose you can keep costs down by finding matching denim at the thrift store (f-ing awesome!) to use on the seats. Click for eBay ad Tehama, CA…

MGB GT for the Long Legged?
I’m a big fan of the MGB GT. So much so that it was the other car on the short list before I bought my 280Z. Who doesn’t love a small hatchback with RWD and a pretty good power-to-weight ratio? The seller points out that this is a project car and we believe it. That…

Uber Rare Gen 2 Acura Legend Sedan Manual
Yes, manual transmissions were available in Legends with four doors. Most are the later GS trim level with the Type II engine (235HP!) and big-for-the-time wheels. This seller has taken an earlier, non-GS sedan and essentially made a GS. Hopefully, the parts needed replacing, because that seems like a strange project car quest. Of course,…
