Lowest-Value Isetta Currently Available?
We’ve commented many times recently that microcars have been hot, especially since the Bruce Weiner auction in 2013. BMW Isettas, once only curiosities, and generally available for $20K or less in any condition, suddenly can bring more than twice that in perfect condition. So, why does this Isetta have a buy-it-now price of $2,850? Well,…

Stretched Drag Chevette on Nova Frame
Why not? Just be sure to bring your own engine and trans. The seller points out that the front was extended eighteen inches and the engine mounts moved back twelve inches. Someone put a ton of work into this, but I’m not sure why. Click for eBay ad McMillan, MI $1,000 with ZERO bids It’s…

Trucks and Stuff
No, really, this person is selling trucks and stuff. “f250 diesel, 91 explorer, Gazebo, old stove, old cement mixer, etc. – $1500 (93528)” I wonder if $1,500 could get everything. Would anyone want everything? Click for Craigslist ad Johannesburg, CA (way the hell out there) $1,500 Ad text: 89 f250 4wd diesel-$2500 obo 91 explorer…

All Really Bad Show and No Go
From some angles (not many) and far away, you might think this car had racing history. Look inside, however, and you’ll see an automatic shifter, which eliminates all performance thoughts. The seller was trying to achieve a JDM look of some sort, but I don’t know that automatic versions of this car were even sold…

An Astro “Show Car”?
Yes, that’s what this claims to be. This is an Astro van with a nasty body kit, poor color choices, airbags and no mention of any engine work. What more can I say? Click for Craigslist ad Beautiful Downtown Culver City, CA $3,800 -CG The seller states that this is a “fully unique body kit”…

WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Sure, it has almost no miles, but $119K? Really? What would one do with this? Would you drive it and risk it being worth the $15-30K this would fetch with 30 to 50K miles, or just look at it? The seller is a (or THE) well-known Grand Wagoneer restoration shop, so they should know better.…

A towing NSU?
Before you zoom into this one, you might think it’s just another cool, little microcar – an NSU Prinz, in this case. That’s what I did. That much is true, but look closely in the ‘cargo’ area and you’ll see that things get stranger than expected. Yes, that appears to be a tow hitch ball,…

Creative Geo Metro Truckish Thing
This may be the best homemade top I’ve ever seen. Yes, someone decided to make a Metro into a small pickup. That’s happened before, but the ‘cap’ on this one really makes it. It’s fiberglass, so it’s rigid, despite the tent-like appearance. The seller talks about hydrogen injection and other ‘interesting’ ideas to get even…
