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.…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

A better Monza?
Not too long ago, we pondered where all the Monza had gone. The example which inspired us was a four-cylinder variant, which is far from exciting. Today’s subject car at least contains eight cylinders, even if it was delivered with the 262 rated at a blistering 110 horsepower. Better news here is that the owner…

MG Midget EV
Are you an MG fan? An EV fan? Oh, you’re both? We have the car for you! This MG Midget has been converted to electric and it appears to be a quality job. We particularly like the charge port integration, though a little paint would make it even better. The gauge integration is pretty cool,…

Opel GT Mother Lode
Would you like an Opel GT? How about ten of them? Here we have an Opel GT hoarder, plain and simple. Ten cars are for sale with a load of parts and no specific model years or specs given. The seller claims they all roll and some run. How many and which ones?? Apparently, one…
