German Classic Cars

Riding The P-Wave: 1966 Porsche 912

It’s absolutely amazing to me what Porsches are going for these days! I still remember when you could pick up nice 912s all day for $10k or less. When 911 prices started to climb, it kind of made sense… more»

Miami Connection: 1979 VW Brasilia

It seems Miami is increasingly becoming a hotbed of activity for automotive forbidden fruit from South America. This gorgeous VW Brasilia here on eBay is one of several vehicles I’ve spotted lately that has likely resided in the Sunshine State for… more»

Fresh Off The Boat: 1971 Opel GT

Let me start by saying I’ve always liked the Opel GT. I think they are great looking little cars and while they aren’t particularly quick, for what they are they are fun drivers. That being said, Americans don’t really… more»

Adult Owners: 1984 BMW 633CSI

We’ve featured the classic BMW 6-Series coupe in the past, but this 1984 example here on eBay with only 43,700 original miles might be one the best ones on the road today. Commonly found as either expensive, fully-restored M-versions or complete basketcases… more»

Crusty Cool Caravan: 1958 Opel Olympia Caravan

Our own Josh wrote about a much nicer version of the Opel Rekord in Barn Finds back in September of 2015 here, but, if a person really had a hankerin’ for a project, I found another one. This is… more»

BF Exclusive: 7 Porsche 914s For $5,000!

From David C – Ok, the pictures aren’t all great, but I’m sure the owner would send any prospective buyer details or more pictures upon request. There’s a total of 7 cars! The value here in my opinion is… more»

Wurst To First: 1976 Hercules W-2000 Wankel

We all knew that Germans made some of the best bratwurst, but other than BMWs and DKWs, a lot of us probably don’t know a lot about the other motorcycles with a German heritage. This is one of them;… more»

Shed Stash Revisted: Six 356s For $6k Each

Almost a year ago we featured this stash of 356s. They were battered, bruised, and cut up, but with ever rising P-car prices, I was sure someone would want them for parts. They were all listed on eBay at… more»

Has The 914 Ridden The Porsche Wave?

Full disclosure: I used to want a Porsche 914 before I discovered Triumphs, so I’m not as prejudiced against them as a “real Porsche” as some are, despite them being a “VW-Porsche” everywhere else in the world. This particular… more»

Which One? Two Dune Buggy Barn Finds

On the left, we have a Berry Mini T, located in Hendersonville, North Carolina and up for sale here on craigslist for $5,500 or best offer. On the right, we have an Allison Daytona, located in York, Pennsylvania, which… more»

Art Bug: 1957 VW Beetle

The seller of this heavily sunburnt 1957 VW Beetle here on eBay sees his vehicle as more of an art installation than a project car. No matter how you look at it, though, this is one of the more authentic forms… more»

Porsche 918 Crashed At 92 Miles On Copart

The Porsche boards and blogs are lighting up about what many people consider to be the highest of the high tech special Porsches—a 918 Spider Hybrid. This low-mile supercar is going for a song—so far—bid to only $114K. That’s… more»

Micro Survivor: 1955 Messerschmitt KR200

This little Messerschmitt is claimed to have been purchased from the original owner’s estate. There’s 22k miles on the odometer and that is totally believable considering what these are. That actually seems high for one of these. Unlike other… more»

Barn Finds On The Road: Michigan

Today I’m traveling to Marquette, Michigan via Wisconsin; da upper part of da Midwest, ya know. I came upon this lot full of old imports across from an import service garage along the way in Ironwood, MI. What a treasure trove… more»

Valuable Basketcase: 1988 BMW M3

In the BMW world, no single car has enjoyed a more rapid increase in value than the first generation M3, also known by its chassis designation as an E30 M3. Now, low mileage survivors are trading anywhere from $50K… more»

Beehive Beater: 1956 Porsche 356

The snow tire wearing 356 from this morning looked like a big project and so does this one, but it does have a few things going for it. The body and underside look relatively solid. The engine is missing… more»
