Black Beauty: 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo

When I was 14, most days I’d walk home from school. We lived just a little too close for bus service, which meant that it was just under two miles each way. But I always looked forward to the… more»

Storage Unit Exotic: 1981 Maserati Merak SS

Sometimes it seems that you don’t see a certain car for years, and then several of them pop up all at once. Before I looked at this Maserati Merak, I could have sworn that the last one I’d seen… more»

Stored 16 Years: 1980 Maserati Quattroporte III

The third-generation Quattroportes are beautiful, in a de Tomaso / Giorgetto Giugiaro sort of way. They are decidedly 1980s in their sleek, chic boxiness and this 1980 Maserati Quattroporte III has a mere 35,582 miles on it. The seller… more»

Mid-Engined 2+2: 1974 Maserati Merak

If you ever felt truly compelled to explore the limits of what can be called back seats, I present Maserati’s entry into the world of 2+2 coupes: the Merak. This 1974 example is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and is… more»

Classic British Cool: 1971 Jensen Interceptor Mark II

For proof positive that you never know what’s resting under a tarp, look no further than this 1971 Jensen Interceptor. Located in Bonney Lake, just outside of Tacoma, Washington, and advertised here on Craigslist, this classic luxury performance car… more»

Exotic Chrysler? 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati

No really, that’s the name. That’s what these two multi-billion-dollar car companies came up with as a name for this American and Italian exotic-but-not-too-exotic luxury car experiment. They looked too much like the LeBaron so they didn’t go over… more»

Needs Reassembly: 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

It’s hard to know what stalls restorations, especially when they’re in the home stretch, as this 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 clearly is. It’s ready for reassembly here on eBay in Independence, Oregon with a $36,000 bid and the… more»

One Of Two! 2009 Devon V-10 GTX

Continuing in that vein of featuring cars that I have never heard of, and believe me, it’s many, today we have a 2009 Devon GTX that is one of only two ever produced. The listing initially states it as… more»

GM Corvair Prototype: 1967 Piranha

In the 1960s, General Motors partnered with Marbon Chemicals and AMT Plastics (yes, the model kit company) to build a Corvette alternative using Corvair engineering. Only fourteen were built before GM decided it was cost-prohibitive, with nine surviving today… more»

Moses Malone’s 1987 Ferrari 412 2+2

Don’t mind the awful pictures when you check out this rare 1987 Ferrari 412. The assortment of 2+2s offered by Ferrari and other Italian sports car manufacturers haven’t proven to be the most sought-after collectibles, but they’re coming around… more»

20 Miles And Never Registered 1963 Ford Cortina

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not very familiar with the export-only models the big U.S. automakers have shipped to various countries around the world. Ford in particular has had a prolific export-only program which included the… more»

Turbo Unicorn: 1985 Subaru XT 4WD 5-Speed

Talk about a box-checking unicorn, this unusual (some would say oddball) Subaru XT 4WD 5-Speed Turbo has it all. Well, other than a working engine. Yes, this one is a non-running donated vehicle that is listed here on eBay… more»

The One and Only Bill Frick Special GT Coupe!

You definitely won’t see yourself coming and going if you buy the 1957 Bill Frick Special GT Coupe for sale at Hyman LTD. It’s the only one ever built, and the asking price is $325,000.

Incredible $750,000 1957 Dual-Ghia…On Craigslist?

As it happens, I saw the near double of this Dual-Ghia at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance on October 24th. It was in red, but otherwise very similar to this 1957 show restoration that’s for sale in the Dallas, Texas… more»

Ultra Rare 1953 Aston Martin DB2 Garage Find!

The ad says this is a “garage find,” which is presumably one step up from a barn find. It’s certainly a classy car, a 1953 Aston Martin DB2 with left-hand drive and matching numbers. It’s one of only 411… more»
