Relive your J.C. Whitney dreams!
Winky the White Cat graced the pages of J.C. Whitney catalogs back when my brother and I seemingly read it from cover to cover each time a new one came in the mail. This product was a cheap stuffed cat one could place on a vehicle’s parcel shelf (presumably among all the parcels) and whose…

Honda S800 Coupe – previously sighted and now for sale!
We previously spotted this car at Irvine Cars and Coffee and now it’s turned up for sale. A quick look at the images guarantees this is the same one, so we know it has driven within the last year. This may be the greatest temptation to appear on eBay all year, and it waited for…

Jimny, anyone?
We’ve featured a couple of Suzuki Samurais here, but never this original, 1970s version. The seller claims it’s one of the best, and we can’t dispute that. We’ve seen these for sale before, but usually in some state of dis-assembly. This one appears to be complete and, with no reserve, it will find a new…

Homemade “Micro Jeep” (WTF!)
Here we have a homemade Jeepish thing with only two-wheel drive. Hmm. The seller claims this will go 55 MPH, but we wonder if we’d be brave enough to try! The engine is listed as an “Anon” two-cylinder, but we imagine that means it’s an Onan. The scariest thing here is that the seller says…

Yet another Fox-body Capri – this one a Turbo!
We’re at risk of being called a Fox Capri site at this point, but we’ve had such good ones come along recently that we have to keep posting them. On December 15, we posted a 1985 V8 Capri GS and on Christmas Eve, we posted a 1985 ASC McLaren Capri convertible. Today, we have another rare beast:…

Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings: December 28, 2013
I didn’t get a ton of pics on Saturday, but found one highly desirable odd car and a couple just odd. I threw in a neighborhood sighting as a bonus item. First up is a 1950s Duetsch Bonnet (AKA DB). I’d never heard of this brand, but it is extremely cool – tiny, elegant and…

Volvo 122 + Toyota 4×4 = Win!
There are a lot of example of strange choices involving cars and pickup, or other 4×4, frames and running gear. We once posted a Datsun roadster in this category. Usually, these vehicles are only very strangely appealing and would are posted primarily as jokes. This combination of 1967 Volvo 122 wagon and Toyota 4×4,however, works…

Quickie: Mercury Marauder X100!
Just a few weeks ago, we featured one of these big block beasts – something we’d never before heard of. Now there’s one ending soon on eBay. Condition does not compare with our previous feature, but this looks like an ‘all there’ and very original car. There is a reserve, but at least we’ll see…

This dealer in TN has consistent marketing strategy
Is there a car there somewhere? This dealer consistently has cool muscle cars, pony cars and hot rods for sale and generally employs the same strategy, which is using hot models to grab attention. In truth, this is also a sweet, original-looking ’69 Camaro RS with 350 and 4-speed. We dig the steel wheels and…

Where do we begin with this one?
1) Crap pics? Yep! 2) Not sure what this is/was? Yep! 3) Poor ad text, including misspelling? Yep! How does one even decide on an asking price for this type of thing?
