BUY THIS CAR!
That’s the message I get from the YELLING, multi-color-text-using seller. This is a custom, shortened ’74 Honda Civic. Apparently, it was once red and it’s now in primer. Why? I’m not sure. The seller claims the car runs and drives and could be a reliable daily driver. It even has new “BREAK” hoses. Also, the…

The Epitome of Subtlety and Class
Greenwood is a tuner that built some badass racing and street Vettes back in the day. This is not one of those. This is a mechanically stock, automatic-equipped 1987 Corvette convertible with a Greenwood – or Greenwood-like – body kit and an interior wood kit for good measure. It’s in its natural habitat of New…

Homemade Something-or-Other
I guess I’ll call this a rock crawler, although I don’t know whether this is really a capable crawler… The seller provides some info, but nothing on the frame underneath this. The mention of needed suspension welding is cause for concern, particularly considering the implied purpose of the vehicle. Click for Craigslist ad Whitewater, CA…

How Is This Not In Florida?!
Whomever modified this car didn’t miss a single page in the J.C. Whitney catalog… What can I possibly add to this? Well, okay, comments are with the images. 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…

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…

Chopped and Narrowed Cougar
Here’s one of those ‘hard to sell’ cars that followed someone’s dream. Will they find a buyer who shares the vision? It seems pieces of the ’67 Cougar are still here, including the 390 V8, which has been overbored for even more torque. Interestingly, there are also a few Model A parts here. Why not?…

Shortvair
I like any ad that begins with “I have a collection of shortened cars.” Do we bother to ask why? If you must shorten a car, a Corvair seems like a decent choice, given the lack of a driveshaft… It looks like the body work has been done, which is obviously the biggest step if…

The Late 80s Puked All Over a 70s Datsun
The seller doesn’t specify and claims this is a ’75 model, but I’m pretty sure it’s a 1978ish 510. Bad news is the post-1975 model year would mean smog checks here in CA. Good news is this car appears to be in really good shape and has a clutch pedal, just with an interesting interior…

Over the Top Yankees Fan Town Car
The seller opens with this: “Also will barter for new siding on my colonial house or new roof shingles installed on my roof or landscaping work worth about value I am selling car.” That aside, I love several things about this car and ad. First, “Fort Lauderdale” edition was likely quite garish and obnoxious to…

VW What?
This is some sort of Fiat Jolly-esque VW Beetle, but the seller seems to have little info. Oddly, for something so unusual, the focus of the ad is the fact that is was “special ordered with a unique gas gauge with no reserve lever.” Regardless, this thing looks pretty clean, if you’re into these sorts…
