Click for eBay ad Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada $305 with two bids and no reserve This must be the most awesome side exhaust setup I’ve seen, with the…

Welcome the 80s with a 242GT!
This isn’t our first Volvo 242GT, but these are absolutely worth posting! No, they don’t offer a lot of power, but they offer cool rarity and their own brand of sporty on top of the already awesome brick. Any concerns you have over power and handling can easily be addressed by a visit to IPD’s…

Just Another Jeans Gremlin
What’s not to love about a Levi’s Edition Gremlin? The seller calls this an excellent candidate for restoration. Is any Gremlin really excellent or worthy of restoration? I suppose you can keep costs down by finding matching denim at the thrift store (f-ing awesome!) to use on the seats. Click for eBay ad Tehama, CA…

Feathered, Like Your Hair
We’re big fans of the long-lost, full-sized, two-door SUVs and prefer unusual ones. Think 78-79 Bronco and any Ramcharger. Blazers don’t qualify as unusual without something special. Thia one’s a “Feathers” edition. We don’t know what that’s about, but it’s certainly different… This appears to be in decent shape with an engine from a 1986…

Subtle Luxury: AMC Hornet Sportabout Gucci Edition
What could be more tasteful and luxurious than a 1970s luxury special edition from AMC? The seller claims one prior owner and 82K original miles, though it has a few needs from lack of use. Does $4,500 seem like a bargain for the lap of AMC luxury? Yes, someone thought this was a good idea.…

Collectible Pontiac Aztek?
The seller pitches this as the “next collectible car.” This is the Rally Edition, but I just don’t see it as collectible. This car will be much like an AMC Pacer – they will appear at shows and cars and coffee events, but that won’t make them valuable. One thing I can guarantee is that…

WARLOCK
We make fun of special editions pretty regularly, but these Dodge “adults toys” were pretty cool, even if most were just about looks, and not performance. The 318 and 4MT combo in this truck should at least be mildly entertaining, though it won’t run like the later, 360-powered ‘Lil Red Express. That truck was among…

Lame Collectible? Pontiac Fiero Pace Car
Many factory Pace car replicas are considered quite collectible and some even come with a good level of performance. This isn’t one of them. The all-new Fiero paced the Indy 500 in 1984; so, naturally, Pontiac put out a replica for sale. Everyone knows the Fiero improved throughout its lifecycle and was a very good…

A Free Spirit worth Saving?
I confess I had never heard of this ‘special’ edition Buick until I saw this ad. An article at Examiner.com gives you more than enough background on this. Basically, this was an Indy 500 pace car replica, though About the only good news here is the 350 V8 with a four barrel. As noted in the…
