Rare AND Undesireable!
Here we have a 1979 Grand LeMans. I’m not sure I even knew about this car, which was basically the entry trim of the Grand Prix. What makes this rare is the 4-speed trans. Would YOU drive it? This is interesting for its strangeness, but we think the price is rather high… Click for Craiglist…

77 Colt – Within negotiating range of LeMons
Here’s one we just don’t see too often – the second generation Dodge Colt by Mitsubishi. Given the ad provides essentially no information and the car isn’t running, we think this could be picked up hauled off for $250 or so. The best news in the limited ad text is the presence of a four-speed.…

Pre-2002: BMW 1600-2
The 2002 has officially become too popular. We have always loved them here, but they no longer stand out (barring cool body styles never sold in the US). Also, we get annoyed with arguments over round taillights vs. later cars. Why not avoid the whole argument by getting a rare, late 1600? These launched earlier,…

Storage unit find? Porsche 924 Martini & Rossi Edition
Here we have a seller admitting this is a flip – the car came from a storage unit auction and they say they don’t know much about it. Here we also have a Porsche 924, a car Porschephiles love to hate. This car was engineered by Porsche for Volkswagen, who then pulled out of the…

More AMC goodness: Eagle SX4
The other day, we posted an AMC Eagle Kammback and referenced the other available body styles. It’s been awhile since we featured an SX4, which was the “sporty” Eagle liftback, and this one happened along. We dig the four-speed manual and apparent overall condition of this car, even with the Shelby stripes. That being said,…

Tasty weirdness: 1971 Siata Spring
No, really, this car is from 1971. Siatas were always associated with Fiats. Some were beautiful, high performance vehicles with racing heritage and now command six-figure prices. One was even associated with Steve McQueen. Others are Springs, like this one. These are based on the Fiat 850, which means the engine is in the rear,…

Potential: Deal or Disaster?
TVRs are exceedingly rare in the US. They were never made in great numbers to begin with, but they were always known for light weight and great performance. The TVR Tasmin, later renamed the 280i, was the company’s 1980s offering. It only weighed a bit over 2,000 pounds, but the early ones were saddled with…

Creepy van #2103484
This is the best creepy 70s van we’ve seen in a while. The seller even claims relatively low miles and it has the top Mopar van engine from ’78, the 360. Click for Craigslist ad Venice, CA (therefore there’s a good chance someone has lived in this…) $2,700 Damn, this paint job rocks! Seriously, who…

We love costume rims
The second generation Infiniti M was a bit of a stopgap. At the time, the brand had launched the last-generation Q45 and was launching the G35, so this filled the mid-luxury segment and fit with the new rear-drive image. It was put together pretty quickly and based on the Japan market Gloria – you know,…
