Boring Mitsu Eclipse Automatic with Art by Keith Haring’s Former Roommate
Remember the third generation Eclipse? Yes, it’s the one that ditched turbocharged, all-wheel-drive fun in favor of a decent V6 and styling details from a Pontiac Grand Am. Most enthusiasts have tried to forget this iteration. Why, then, is a automatic-equipped one here? It’s all in the “art.” Ignore the art and this is a…

Incomplete 944 Shooting Brake Project
All the best ads involve “purchased the donor car, and started cutting.” This has the potential to be awesome when complete, but there’s a long way to go. The seller apparently started this project in April 2015. It’s not clear what the donor wagon was, but maybe a reader knows? Regardless, our condolences go out…

Lakermobile 1958 Isetta
Are you a Lakers fan AND a microcar fan? If so, this is your ride. This Issetta had a frame-off something. We can’t call it a restoration because it didn’t leave the factory with all of the Lakers regalia. Still, it seems to have been completely mechanically restored and everything else was either restored or…

Brown, manual 928 with Pasha Interior
Does it get any better? This is a Euro-spec car with low miles and supposedly has had a recent service. If it checks out it’s a helluva car; but is the price reasonable? Click for Craigslist ad Indianapolis, IN, USA $12,500 Brown truly is beautiful. Early 928s wear their weirdness with more pride vs. later…

Ran When Parked: 1974 Datsun Pickup with SBC
Remember the custom mini truck craze? This truck was apparently one of the many victims and was cast aside when another fad took over. This looks like a “needs everything” project; but the presence of a small block Chevy means the mechanical bits can be purchased at Wal-Mart. As such, getting it running might not…

Orphaned Brand Hot Hatch
The Volkswagen GTI started the hot hatch craze in the early 80s, and just about every OEM (except Ford in the US market?) played the game at some point. Maybe Ford is making up for that today with its ST and RS products. Anywho, Isuzu was a hot hatch player back in the day (you…

Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!
Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting. No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know? It seems the owner made a mini-truck out of the Festiva and then missed the cargo space? Regardless, we love it! Festivas make great autocross cars, but it’s not clear that this trailer can…

Matched Set of 1.5 PT Cruisers
Here we have a package deal made from two salvage PT Cruisers, though it’s not clear why the first, driving one was salvaged. The second one apparently had a damaged front end, and was thus cut in front of the rear doors to make a trailer. Both have matching two-tone paint jobs with excess chrome.…

Part 1999 Chevy Tracker, Part Plane
It’s an age old question: what happens when a Cirrus SR22 light aircraft and a 1999 Chevy Tracker are combined? Here we have the answer. The reserve was not met on this auction, but the phone number of the seller is available as long as eBay keeps the listing around; so a deal can be…

1989 Chevy Van With Ferris Wheel Seating
If you had an extra van and some Ferris wheel seats, you’d do the same. The seller is wise enough not to claim it’s a good idea to ride in the rear seats at highway speeds; so don’t get any idea. What would YOU do with this oddity? Click for eBay ad Lohman, MO, USA…
