Jacked up Gremlin?
Yes, that’s more or less what it is. Most people alive at any point in the 70s have vague recollections of the AMC Eagle brand – the one that existed before the Chrysler purchase of AMC and the ill-fated Eagle Medallion. The Eagle line was all about four-wheel-drive in passenger cars, with the station wagon…

Quickie: Surf Rocky
Daihatsu had a short run in the US, although parent company Toyota could theoretically bring them back at any moment in order to allow hundreds of Americans to relive their Charade and Rocky pasts. Here we have a Rocky that might have been well loved. The surfboard is a cool touch on such an unusual…

Propane Powered Postal Van
This 1992 Grumman LLV Postal Van benefits from a recent brake service. Right-Hand-Drive configuration means you can impress all of the kids at the import car meet; just tell them its “JDM-style!” Unfortunately, tight blue shorts and dog repellant are not included. Bad jokes aside, we think this would be pretty cool for hauling around…

Because standard Suzuki X90s aren’t weird enough…
Our dear seller has modified the rear of a Suzuki X90 in an ill-advised attempt to make it into a normal vehicle. Naturally, this custom job has yielded something even stranger than the original. Notably, this is also the only ad we’ve ever seen which contains the words “also have 3 other X90s” and in…

First AMG under Daimler ownership
AMG had more than two decades of racing and performance history before Daimler purchased a controlling interest in 1990. Since then, of course, we know them as the in-house tuning arm of Mercedes Benz. This C36 was the first model released after Daimler acquired its interest in the firm and is thus rather significant. Our…

Cheap, unusual classic: 1950 Packard Super Deluxe Eight
Once thoroughly exclusive, Packard moved into more pedestrian cars after WWII. By 1950, the financial wheels were close to coming off and the company would be sold to Studebaker by 1954. Our subject car is one of the more reasonably priced models, but features an inline eight and, from what we can tell, a very…

One of those WTF ads
When a seller says “two V8 projects”, one tends to think they’ll be somehow related. This seller, however, has a 1960 Thunderbird and a 1973 Mazda RX4 wagon! The Mazda has some sort of turbocharged V8 and is intriguing, but also pretty rough. The T-Bird looks mostly stock. Click for Craigslist ad North Hills, CA…

A Pathfinder that’s not a Nissan
Many companies have modified domestic vans to four-wheel drive over the years, but this is a pretty early version and the bodywork makes it ever more interesting. Yes, it’s a chop-top, full-size van! These guys thought of this long before Top Gear did it to their Espace. We’re not sure exactly what the use case…

Unusual find: Mercury Meteor
The Mercury was the stablemate to the Ford Fairlane at one time. We don’t see these often, much less with a clutch pedal. This one is intriguing with its built 302, 4-speed manual and cool color combo. The owner rightly points out that factory 4-speed cars are rare, but the engine swap (the 302 launched…

Awesomely Creative ad: 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE
This is a special listing because it’s a video ad for a used car. The seller did an amazing job. The Craigslist ad is pretty awesome, too… Click for YouTube ad Orlando, FL Priceless?
