Billed as “unusual,” I guess “usual” is a relative term. Buicks, AMCs, Mercedes-Benzes, customs…all of these are legitimate classics in their own right, and most seem to be in decent condition. Special thanks to Britt Boughey for letting us know about it! You can find just about anything and everything here on craigslist with what sounds like at least a partially-motivated seller.

Most interestingly, there’s a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T lowrider that was supposedly built by “the man who put the Snoopys in the bay.” I had to Google what the heck that even meant, and I found a very interesting story about a man who did exactly what was advertised. It’s said to run great, and is still available for $20,000 at time of writing. With a Chrysler 440 making 375 horsepower, it’s worth it, even with gas at $6.00 per gallon.

My personal favorite, though, is the AMC AMX they have listed. Always had a soft spot for these things, and on top of that it was “built by a famous drag racer.” It’s a reluctant sale, they mention, and having been on the other side of reluctant sales, I always feel really bad about taking something that someone doesn’t really want to give up. Regardless, it’s an amazing car, and I would be curious to know which “famous drag racer” built it. Said to have a 390 with aluminum heads and an automatic transmission, it sounds like this car is its story, and a good story makes a good classic.

A lot of these cars have interesting backgrounds, and I would very much like to talk to the owners and curators of such a collection…but I’m not in the market for anything right now. If you are, give them a holler, but only if you’re serious about buying one of their cars. They seem to make that clear in the tail end of the ad, and the least we can do is respect their time.
