  • WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    Sure, it has almost no miles, but $119K?  Really?  What would one do with this?  Would you drive it and risk it being worth the $15-30K this would fetch with 30 to 50K miles, or just look at it? The seller is a (or THE) well-known Grand Wagoneer restoration shop, so they should know better.…

    Pimped out Pacer

    Pacer?  Check! Skull and crossbones “tattoo’d” on hood?  Check! Red shag carpet?  Hellz yeah! How could you NOT buy this car? Click for Craigslist ad Studio City, CA $2,900 Obligatory chain wheel is a nice touch, along wiht the smoothie wheels. Ad text: an Amazing FUN Car… made for “Pimp My Ride” 1976 AMC Pacer,…

  • Westfield what?

    Westfield what?

    Given no engine is included in this sale, I’m not sure what the 280Z “donor car” donated.  Westfield makes Caterham-type Lotus 7 replicas and this is one of them.  Perhaps the Z donated its suspension?  Regardless, this is certainly an oddity!

  • No, it’s not quite a Galaxie

    No, it’s not quite a Galaxie

    The Ford Galaxie was an upgraded Ford 500 back in the day, but one seems to rarely see a plain 500.  That could be because fewer survived or it could be because all the 500s now wear Galaxie badges. What would make a ‘base’ car interesting?  How about a two-door body style and big block…

  • 80s Shelby in the right Color Scheme

    80s Shelby in the right Color Scheme

    Here we have a 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger with a later engine swapped in and wearing later wheels.  The good news is it’s in the proper silver and blue regalia.  The bad news is that paint has more than a bit of patina. The car is not without issues, so bid accordingly.  The seller provides…

  • One-Off Turbocharged AMX Pace Car

    One-Off Turbocharged AMX Pace Car

    So the AMC Pacer just doesn’t speak to you because it never actually paced anything?  How about an AMX Spirit AMX heavily customized to pace the IndyCar World Series in 1981? The seller claims 450HP and it might be true with 18 pounds of boost on a 4.2L I6.  As noted below, this engine was…

  • Semi-Custom Honda AZ600

    Semi-Custom Honda AZ600

    The AZ600 was the “sport coupe” version of the N360/N600 microcar – arguably Honda’s first mainstream production car.  These featured various air-cooled twin cylinder engines, with the 600 indicating 600cc displacement here and in all US versions.  Most of these don’t play up the sport theme too much, but here we have the first I’ve…

  • The World’s First Subaru Justy Project?

    The World’s First Subaru Justy Project?

    Here we have the only Justy I’ve seen for sale with a yanked engine.  Supposedly, it was pulled for oil pump and water pump replacement. The seller does provide shots of lots of parts and it may very well all be there.  Would you put it back together stock or just go for some sort…

  • I Might Have Van Envy

    I Might Have Van Envy

    Here we have a German Camper by Westfalia NOT made by Volkswagen, but named after a famous explorer and cartographer. These James Cook campers seem to have quite the following on the interwebs, but it’s not clear whether any officially made it to the US.  It’s definitely a cool rig, though the extra height and…

  • Your Vehicle is not Cushy Enough

    Your Vehicle is not Cushy Enough

    This vehicle is cushy, or at least it’s a Cushman.  If you can find some way to make this street legal, you’ll have a cool little hauler and the four wheel setup must be better than the typical three-wheeled Cushman(despite the nerf bars).  Does that take out all the fun? Click for eBay ad San…
