Dayuum Van! Daihatsu Hi-Jet is Pure Awesome
Apparently, there has been a Daihatsu Hijet of some sort since 1960. Who knew? Regardless, this cool little kei-van is suitably odd today and would be welcomed with open arms at any microcar show. The seller claims this is a 1970model, but the integrated bumper lamps, etc. sure look newer, as does the interior. …

Sportbak – Enough Said.
Yes, folks, it’s the infamous Nissan Pulsar Sportbak. The idea here was that the car could be used three ways – as a ‘mini wagon'(shown), a hatchback using a different hatch or open air with no hatch at all and the t-tops found on most, if not all, of these cars. Yes, this one comes…

Very Rough Subaru 360
Is this one worth the trouble? The seller say it might be a Young, which was the sporty version. It may technically be salvageable and not a bad deal if bought cheaply. It will help if you can find a restoration shop which charges by the pound. Click for Craigslist ad Arizona, USA No Price…

4WD, Manual Hatchback!
Though this look like a B12 Sentra “Sport Coupe” from some angles, it’s a 1988 Subie GL hatchback, which means you get 4WD as part of the mix. This would arguably be the ultimate winter beater in a snow state, but it would be a shame to encourage it to rust away. This seems to…

Super Trooper?
Troopers are rarely seen these days, but they’ve always been cool and quite capable off road. This two-door with manual trans steps things up a notch! This looks like a great vehicle and I’m not sure that 200K+ miles is much for an Isuzu truck. Click for Craigslist ad South Bay, CA $2,400 Sporty two-door!…

Lexus, Long Before Lexus
The Crown was Toyota’s most luxurious offering for many years. It was sold in the US for a short time and this could be a genuine US car, considering the steering wheel location. The seller doesn’t specify, but it seems the RS40 designation may mean it is powered by a 1.9-liter inline four, instead of…

Quickie: Honda 600 Pickup is Too Good to Go Away
Some cars are too cool not to perpetually be for sale and that’s why this is a recycled post. This is still in Idaho, but it looks like the car did indeed change hands, as Rudy sold it in October and Kevin is selling now. If Kevin won the eBay auction from last year, he…

Datsun Roadster SR20 project
I love the idea of a Nissan SR20DE engine in a ’67 Datsun roadster. Why not take a highly regarded car and add a high-revving 2.0-liter four? I don’t love the idea of taking on someone else’s incomplete project. This project is not for the faint of heart, but an installed engine that starts, along…

Uber Rare Gen 2 Acura Legend Sedan Manual
Yes, manual transmissions were available in Legends with four doors. Most are the later GS trim level with the Type II engine (235HP!) and big-for-the-time wheels. This seller has taken an earlier, non-GS sedan and essentially made a GS. Hopefully, the parts needed replacing, because that seems like a strange project car quest. Of course,…

Summer Truckin?
Here we have a cool little Datsun NL320 unibody pickup. Given these are really only going to be used as cruisers these days, I think these are cooler, with their integrated beds, vs. the ‘real’ truck available at the same time. If you need a shop truck, your opinion may vary. The seller says this…
