4Runner Rickshaw
Would you like to pretend you have a first-generation 4Runner? This could be just the ticket. This would also be good if you want exercise while transporting your parents, but we’re not sure about regulations related to rickshaws in the US. This is being sold as a trailer, but we see no way to attach…

Quickie: Baja Beetle Project
Here we have a Baja Beetle listed as a project but without many specifics. Sadly, those extra wheels are just laying there – this is not a six-wheeler (unlike the Festiva pickup we recently posted). Despite providing almost no useful information, the text in this add raises questions: 1) What the hell does “panchostein” mean??…

Eckler’s 1969 Corvette Shooting Brake
Here we have an incomplete 1969 Corvette Sport Wagon shooting brake project. According to the seller, this is a relatively low mileage Vette. A previous owner started the project in the 70s and passed away before it was completed. The car then went into storage for 30 years or so. There were a few kits…

Seller: “I Don’t What This Is, But I Know What It’s Worth”
The seller here has no idea what this is, but that he or she knows it’s worth more than offers received to date. How did the seller end up with a mystery, you ask? “I bought the property the vehicle came with it in the backyard.” What do you think this is? The seller rambles,…

NSU Plus Pallet Equals Major Win!
Here we have an NSU Prinz project with no wheels or tires attached to a wooden pallet. It was previously in a barn fire, so it has street cred. The seller was apparently going to make it into a junior rat rod with a Yanmar diesel engine in place of the original inline two cylinder…

Track or Street? Guiseppe’s Alfa GTV6 Callaway Twin Turbo
Okay, so this isn’t an original Callaway car, but the engine and turbo setup were swapped in from a real one which was wrecked. Purists may scoff, but we’re rather glad this engine lives on in another Alfa and wasn’t scrapped with the car. This is almost a plank canvas – could easily be a…

Doored is a Verb?
We’ve certainly heard of bagged trucks and other vehicles, but we’ve never heard of “doored.” This is a horribly incomplete project based on an original plan which was questionable at best. If you’re into this sort of thing, this might be a good starting point, as it seems more has been spent than is asked,…

Almost No Info and Almost No Car
This is listed as a project car, but that’s a bit of a stretch. The only info listed in the ad says automatic and fuel: electric. It looks to me like there’s no trans and no engine or motor. Clearly, this was a shotgun target, so it’s comical that someone thinks he or she can…

Rare on These Shores: Ford Taunus
No, we didn’t misspell Taurus! There was a German-built Ford called the Taunus for a great many decades. The seller of this example confidently states “if you want an old car to work on this is your best bet.” I’m not sure about that, but it’s likely this car can be saved. There’s no paint…

Odd Couple Two-Fer
Most two-fers offer two like cars, as it’s often a collector of a particular make or model. Today’s, however, includes a 1930 Studebaker and a 1961 Ford Falcon. I’m not sure these have anything in common,except, perhaps inline six cylinder engines (?). Given the two cars, it seems unlikely that just the right enthusiast buyer…
