Mach None
Everyone knows the Mustang II was a product of trying times. The enthusiast appeal, admittedly waning since the Mustang got a bit porky in 1971 and then the big block went away in 1972 and all engines got weezier, was completely sucked out at the Mustang II launch. Yes, the car was based on the…

Long before the Caravan added the driver’s side rear door…
There was this. Have you been looking for a kid hauler with a manual trans? This could be it. This is the 8-door version of the 60s Ford Econoline. Given the condition, I’m sure you can’t wait to throw your kids into this one. Who needs seats or the LATCH system, anyway? In truth, this…

Greatest Bodystyle of all time?
Are you tired of waiting for Audi to put their 2005 Shooting Brake Concept into production? Having trouble finding room in your budget for a Ferrari FF? Not to worry, you can scratch that “3-door-wagon” itch that we all have by purchasing this 1980 Pinto Squire Wagon! We’re not sure if it is the strange…

Why Not just Pop Down and Drive this Back?
There are a number of concerns here: Ford did not offer a convertible version of this Capri “There was a fire in the back seat, so fire fighters broke all Windows except front windshield” It’s in Tijuana There’s no evidence this ever had a top (well, aside from the steel one removed with tin snips)…

The Original Durango was not a Dodge
Yes, Ford worked with a coachbuilder to create a Fairmont-based replacement for the Ranchero. Sending these out to be finished presumably raised cost and price, so not many of these were built. As beautiful as it is, I can’t imagine why. THAT was sarcasm. This one appears to be in good enough shape and…

Pre-OJ Bronco…with four doors
Say, who’s this new DS fella, and why shouldn’t I fill him with daylight?! First of all, cool your Q-jets. Also, stop talking like a 1930s gangster in a Ford V-8. I’m always surfing for some strange on the Los Angeles craigslist. Strange cars, mostly. What do a Volvo 262C, Chrysler Conquest, and Sterling 827 SLi…

Another homemade Shogun Competitor
This one uses a Suzuki Hayabusa engine. Some might question a motorcycle engine in a car, but this thing should make at least 150HP if it’s in stock form. That’s damn near 100HP more than the lowest-rated Festiva and this one now offers RWD. Also, we wonder how much less this now weighs. In any…

Another Festiva Two-Fer
We posted a Festiva Two-Fer back in June, and the rest is history. Well, yet another such ad has appeared! It seems cars like this often come as pairs. This has LeMons potential with a healthy dose of price negotiation. The seller is asking $1,000 for both cars. Two cars for $1K sounds decent, but…

One of those WTF ads
When a seller says “two V8 projects”, one tends to think they’ll be somehow related. This seller, however, has a 1960 Thunderbird and a 1973 Mazda RX4 wagon! The Mazda has some sort of turbocharged V8 and is intriguing, but also pretty rough. The T-Bird looks mostly stock. Click for Craigslist ad North Hills, CA…
