Take your pick: Two F-Body “Special” Editions
These two just had to be posted together, as the auctions started on the same day. Here we have one movie tribute and one TV tribute. Car#1 is a KITT (yes, Two Thousand…not a Mustang) replica: Car #2 is a Bandit II from 1991, which was an aftermarket special: Car #1: This appears to be…

Mazda MX-5 Eunos in Camo
Here we have a JDM MX-5, known as a Eunos, gutted and painted camo. The owner will also throw in various parts to create a Lucra kit car, but points out that they won’t fit this car…hmm. This looks track-ish, but the seller speaks about needing to fully bolt down the cage and also about…

Quickie: Ford Ranger SPLASH

If your’e interested in those two, you might love this Ranger Splash. Under the bright blue with 90s teeny-bopper graphics is a V6 manual…

Sightings: August 25, 2013
Here’s a forgotten ‘special edition’: The Dodge Neon Expresso! No, we don’t remember what made it an expresso. Maybe the wing? What’s better than spotting a Neon Expresso in modern times? Spotting one parked next to an Acura ZDX…

Forbidden Fruit: Mazda / Autozam AZ-1 Kei car
Anyone reading here probably knows a thing or two about Kei cars, the tiny Japanese treats which get around certain Japanese tax laws. This Autozam AZ-1 has a bit of a confusing lineage, given Autozam is a Mazda brand but the car was design and built by Suzuki, who also sold a version. Regardless, we…

Quickie: This Festiva is too weird to ever really go away
We featured this Festiva a while back as part of our Two homemade shitboxes story. It appears that it sold and buyer’s remorse set in quickly. This seller actually provides more information and pictures than the last one, even though the last seller was apparently the builder. Odd note: This seller bought this strange beast for his…

Mystic SVT pizza?
Do you remember the 1996 Mystic Cobra? This was a limited edition SVT Cobra Mustang Coupe (no Convertibles were made) with special BASF paint that looked green, purple or gold depending on viewing angle. 2,000 were built – er…painted – out of something like 7,500 total coupes. This one has low miles and appears to…

Metrosexual Scratch ‘n Dent special
Here we have a recently wrecked, but otherwise great condition, Geo Metro convertible with 5-speed transmission. Those alive and aware in the 90s remember these little roller skates. We think it could be an entertaining ride, and a great candidate for a Swift GTI/GT or other swap. This car has probably the longest seller description…

Audi 200 Quattro 20V wagon
Audi practically disappeared from the US market after the ‘unintended acceleration’ debacle, which really just meant the pedals were closer together than yuppies thought they should be. That near-disappearance makes this 1991 Audi 200 rare to begin with. Add in the wagon body and manual transmission and you have something you may never see again.…
