6x6 on craigslist
I know I will regret this indiscretion. I should not be posting a craigslist link on my eBay Motors blog...but there is an actual relationship there so maybe it's OK. In any event, the truck was just too compelling to keep to myself. Reruns of MASH, a fifth of vodka and all you need is a little Hot Lips Hoolihan!
Yer not from 'round here are you?
It's ugly, boring, expensive and probably handles like shit. But we want it anyway, because it is an anomaly. That's the way it is with car people - we always want what we can't have. In this case (through a state and local comedy of errors) we can have it, but nobody was drunk enough to pay $15 to be the only guy in the country with a 2002 PEUGEOT.

911 widebdy with roof duct
SOLD at $64k! This thing is the color of one of those crayons that I just know shortened my lifespan. Wouldn't you really rather have a Cayman S?

'48 Crosley Wagon with FLAMES
Josh said this was the "first and last time" he will ever be 'pumped' about a car with a horse blanket interior.
Personally I think it is too bad it is a woody. Flame job would have looked cleaner on a plain, slab-sided one.

Porsche 997 in MEXICO BLUE
If I had a political movement this would be it. Bring back old school '69-'76 Porsche colors on more 997s. Forget the 5 shades of gray they are issued in. Do up a Paint-to-sample in an otherwise-vile hue that just melts over those voluptuous hips. Loaded a side shot here so that you can see how sweet the yellow calipers looks against this backdrop. Damn.
Panoz Roadster Right on the money SOLD at $39k
This price is market-correct. Though after you drive one you will likely agree that the experience is worth paying more.

No Tengo this Tango
Here's a link to the TANGO 600 Auction. THey say George Clooney ordered one. I guess eveybody has to out green Cameron Diaz.
2 door wagons
Pro Street Chevy Vega
(hey, it's my blog, and I can post if I want to.)
Plain-looking '49 Crosley
Man, there are so many Crosley's on eBay these days, you would think they are common or something.
OK, it' snot a wagon, it's an ex-USAF delivery van, but it's the closest thing I could find to a Divco milk truck.

If you had $5000 to spend in eBay's die-cast car model area...
42 Old-school (redline) Hot Wheels cars new in the blisterpack for $5500!
One Olds '442 Hot Wheels car for $5655! (I just now that my little cousin had one)
Outbid on that one? Oh, that's OK. Here's one in a better color scheme for $5100!
Old enough to know that a 'tether car' has nothing to do with Napoleon Dynamite's "skills"?
Or maybe you just like to play in the dirt. CAT Scraper also over $5000!
(and you thought your habits were expensive)

Top on anyone's list of collectible vehicles:
The green 1976 Datsun pick-up with Chevy 350 V-8 and John Deere airbrushed murals!
Or for the "purist" a well-restored original green '76 Datusn pick-up.
Buy both and wear them as mobile mood rings!

4 wild race cars
that didn't sell on eBay
1966 Abarth Berlina Corsa
Nostaligia dragster "Pure Heaven II"
1950 Simca V8, great for a Mille
1947 Topolino dragster

How do you
base a '31 Alfa Romeo replica on a Beetle? Is this not like wearing underwear on your head?
The 3/4 scale, Topolino-based Ferrari 500 F1 replica is a a much better idea.

Sell your house
And everything esle, and maybe you can muster $530k to bid on this car. But then DOH!, it's not enough dough for a Ferrari 275 GTB.
Slightly less ugly...
with the top down. But I still don't know why people wanted Avantis enough for 40 years of production.

Heinous car bodies grafted onto 4X4 truck chassis
When Larry, Darryl and Darryl have just enough "skills" to be dangerous...they make one of these things. I really want some feedback here. I think we can "own" this category of car if we can come up with a good name for it. You can see that these auction posters realy didn't know what to call their concoctions.
70 Lincoln
'80 Cutlass Supreme
When we see these, we all know what they are, but there is no word for the category, like "dune buggy" or "active lifestyle crossover" vehicle. I have seen "frankenstein" and "Monster Truck" tried, but I think both of these are lacking. What should we call these things?
