One of the worst feelings I’ve experienced as part of this hobby is driving a car I bought sight unseen for the first time. The car in question is one of my current projects, a 1987 BMW 535is. Needless… more»
1986 Ford Thunderbird: Gullwing Conversion
A few months ago, we featured a Mazda RX-7 similar to the Thunderbird listed here: a low-mileage, nearly stock example with a gullwing door conversion completed. The Thunderbird here on eBay has only 600 original miles with a $40,000… more»
1985 Aldino Fiero: Are You Fooled?

1978 Toyota Celica GT: Lot Special
It’s sometimes entertaining to look at a seller’s other listings in addition to the classic project you’re checking out. This 1978 Toyota Celica GT here on eBay is an interesting specimen, but it’s slotted among a collection of plastic… more»
Last One Built: 1981 Chevy C10 Pickup
Update 1/12/2018 – The current owner of this sweet C10, Jesse C, just sent over more photos of it. It’s always great to see a find we featured years ago still around, especially ones with as interesting history as this… more»
Never Left Home: 1976 Ford Bronco

Twin Del’Ortos: 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider
These old Alfa Romeos aren’t the most desirable variants around (sorry, the covered headlight models with slim bumpers are where it’s at), but this one here on eBay looks like a worthy project. It does have some rust and… more»
Original Zwitter: 1952 Volkswagen Beetle
We just recently featured a split-window Beetle that’s got a hefty asking price on it; now, this one here on eBay is about half the price but twice the project as that car. These early VWs are desirable for… more»

Plenty of Spares: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger
Classic Motorsports magazine recently did an excellent write-up on Tiger ownership, and the gist of the article is that these cars are great drivers that will likely never decrease in price. A bummer if you don’t own one yet, but… more»
No Shifting Survivor: 1987 VW Scirocco
We featured a VW Scirocco not too long ago, which arguably was more desirable than this 1987 example here on eBay. It was a “S” model with a manual transmission, and was an early example which are quite a… more»
Corvette Funny Car: Cameo Chassis
