  • Tron/Transformers Chevrolet Spark (?)

    Tron/Transformers Chevrolet Spark (?)

    We’re oddly drawn to the Chevy Spark, though we often wish the Sonic’s turbo I4 would end up in it in order to make a really goofy little pocket rocket.  Why is this here?  Well, it’s because the photo below grabbed our attention.  The seller seems to have applied what he or she calls “Tron…

  • Low Mileage Kia Micro Van with a Catch

    Low Mileage Kia Micro Van with a Catch

    This Kia Micro Van is a rare site outside (South) Korea.  It’s a cool oddity, but there’s one major catch – it might not be possible to certify this for road use in the US. Do you have a farm?  If so, this could be the vehicle for you!  The seller claims 10.8K kilometers and,…

  • 6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!

    6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!

    From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups.  The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this.  This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

  • Another Festiva Two-Fer

    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…

  • Forgotten for Many Reasons: Pontiac Lemans by Daewoo

    Forgotten for Many Reasons: Pontiac Lemans by Daewoo

    The Pontiac Lemans that most people remember was a 1960s-70s GM intermediate, one version of which was the GTO for quite some time.  Most have tried hard to forget the Daewoo-built Pontiac Lemans of the 1980s and early 90s, one of many captive imports designed to help with CAFE. There’s really nothing to love here…

  • Quickie:  This Festiva is too weird to ever really go away

    Quickie: This Festiva is too weird to ever really go away

    We featured this Festiva a while back as part of our Two homemade shitboxes story.  It appears that it sold and buyer’s remorse set in quickly.  This seller actually provides more information and pictures than the last one, even though the last seller was apparently the builder. Odd note:  This seller bought this strange beast for his…

  • What’s almost as fun as a Fiesta?

    What’s almost as fun as a Fiesta?

    How about a Festiva?  This Kia-built beauty has potential, but we worry that bidding might exceed the 24 Hours of Lemons limit of $500.  These have Mazda engines and a bit of an autocross following. The ad text is more than a little entertaining, including such quotes as: “HAS NEW BATTER” “IT SEAMS LIKE IT…
