Hemi-Powered 1985 Dodge D150 Pickup

From the outside, this 1985 Dodge D150 Custom SE Prospector looks fairly original. Its lowered stance and custom wheels suggest it might be slightly modified, but it looks fairly original. It turns out, it’s anything but stock, but in… more»

In Goddard, Kansas, and listed on eBay, lives perhaps the world’s best-preserved example of the Porsche 928 GTS. It’s a 1993 model and one of only 54 built that year with a five-speed manual transaxle. The condition is attached to a… more»

Ready To Assemble: 1970 Jaguar E-Type Coupe

Since many of the Jaguar E-Types that appear on Craigslist, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace are rust-bucket “projects,” it’s worth giving a second look at this 1970 Series II coupe (not a 2+2) here on Craigslist in Richmond, Virginia. The… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1965 Cobra Kit Car

Auto sellers should keep a dictionary handy. Perhaps this Shelby Cobra kit was intended for flower car duty, since it comes with “petals.” And the engine evidently needs somewhere to stay, because it “could be boarded out” to a… more»

Cheap Project? Fiat 1200 Spider

Generally, when I own a car, I have a pretty good idea of what it is, but that’s not always the case, even with classics. The owner of this Fiat in Fishers, Indiana, put it up on Facebook Marketplace as a… more»

Rare 1954 Messerschmitt KR175 Project

Yes, indeed, as the owner says, these German-made Messerschmitt KR175 Kabinenroller microcars are indeed very rare–only 15,000 were built. But it’s the later 200 model (1955 to 1964) that’s a more valuable example of the breed, and the cream… more»

Beautiful 1966 Buick Electra 225 Convertible

The owner wants to “make room for new toys,” which is interesting because the photos make clear that this beautiful 1966 Buick Electra 225 convertible with 60,000 original miles in Loveland, Colorado on Facebook Marketplace is just one of… more»

16k Mile 1979 Lincoln Continental Sedan

The attrition rate for mid-to late-70s big boats is really high. When the Arab oil embargo happened, everyone wanted smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, and 1979 Lincoln Continental sedans like this one on Craigslist in Austin, Texas, yielded a dismal… more»

Sporty Shooting Brake: 1972 Volvo 1800 ES

We’re told very little about this 1972 Volvo 1800 ES sporting station wagon here on Facebook Marketplace in Henderson, Nevada. It “runs well and is in good shape.” And darned if that doesn’t appear to be true. The ES… more»

Pristine French Survivor: 1996 Renault Twingo

The 1996 Renault Twingo urban runabout on Craigslist in Washington, DC, is an Edition Spéciale Alizé that adds features such as A/C, tinted glass, power windows, central locking, airbags, and the “fun velour ‘cumulus’ interior.” The owner wants $15,000.

I was misinformed. I thought the “sedanette” body style on Buicks (debuted in ’42) ended with the 1949 model, but here’s a 1950 Special sedanette to prove me wrong. It’s being offered on eBay in Le Mars, Iowa, with… more»
