Cool Little Crosley
I suppose all Crosleys are small. Oh well, you get the point. In truth, this Super Deluxe borders on luxurious compared to the Crosley sports cars. Like 79.45775% of the ads out there, this one mentions the car being a “barn find.” This could be legit, though, as this one appears to have been stored…

Over the Top Yankees Fan Town Car
The seller opens with this: “Also will barter for new siding on my colonial house or new roof shingles installed on my roof or landscaping work worth about value I am selling car.” That aside, I love several things about this car and ad. First, “Fort Lauderdale” edition was likely quite garish and obnoxious to…

Late Model Buick Sleeper
While the supercharged Pontiac Grand Prix was fairly well known and wore plenty of badges, strakes and cladding over the years, its near-twin the Regal GS more subtly offered the same supercharged 3800 engine with 240HP and plenty of torque. While I can’t speak to the handling differences (kind of a big deal!), I always…

VW What?
This is some sort of Fiat Jolly-esque VW Beetle, but the seller seems to have little info. Oddly, for something so unusual, the focus of the ad is the fact that is was “special ordered with a unique gas gauge with no reserve lever.” Regardless, this thing looks pretty clean, if you’re into these sorts…

Pre-Maxima, Stick Shift Nissan Luxury
Well, make that Datsun luxury, given the year. Anyway, this isn’t our first 810, but it’s the first with a clutch pedal. The seller claims the engine ‘runs strong’, but there’s a hard to decipher statement about “been stopped” elsewhere. I’m not sure how to interpret that, but I can say this is no concours-ready…

Start You Own Mobile Sauna Service!
With a six cylinder, full-size van, you won’t be going anywhere in a hurry (despite the short wheelbase); so you might as well make money with it while sitting still or cruising. I hereby propose a mobile sauna. The good news is that this van already has the appropriate wood paneling inside. You’ll just need…

Sale Forced by HOA?
When I see not one, not two, but three Thunderbird Turbo Coupes for sale as a group and the pictures also reveal outdoor storage of an engine hoist, I have to assume this is a forced sale of some sort. Forced by a spouse? Forced by HOA? I don’t know, but Fox T-Bird hoarders don’t…

Quickie: One of the Last Breaths of the 70s. In 1981.
The 70s didn’t give up easily. While Ford drastically shrunk its Thunderbird and Cougar personal luxury cars in time for the 1980 model year, Chrysler rolled out this bad boy which, believe it or not, was also significantly smaller than previous iterations. This one’s been ‘upgraded’ with a continental kit! There isn’t much else we…

An Astro “Show Car”?
Yes, that’s what this claims to be. This is an Astro van with a nasty body kit, poor color choices, airbags and no mention of any engine work. What more can I say? Click for Craigslist ad Beautiful Downtown Culver City, CA $3,800 -CG The seller states that this is a “fully unique body kit”…
