    Wagon Wednesday: This Dodge Monaco Delivers the Goods

    It’s Wednesday, which means I opened up a tab in my browser, went to Craigslist, and simply typed in “wagon.” The results today are rather wonderful thanks to this truly glorious 1973 Dodge Monaco. I’ve never seen one in this color combo with the excellent stripe work, and I’m absolutely in love. It helps that…

    Craigslist Crapshoot: Is This Steve McQueen’s Old Oldsmobile?

    You find interesting stuff on Craigslist. Take this 1948 Oldsmobile 98, for example. It has just 62,000 miles on it, which is pretty wild for such an old machine. The seller says there’s no rust, as it’s been a Southern California car its whole life. Oh, and it was apparently once owned by Steve McQueen.…

    The E39 BMW 5-Series remains one of the few from the brand that I actually still lust over. While an E39 M5 would be a dream, the 540i is also an excellent vehicle. You can get them with a proper 6-speed manual gearbox as well, and there’s one for sale just down the road. It’s…

    We love the Toyota Land Cruiser. From the 80-Series to the Heritage Edition to the Prado to the Prado-based GX460, we’re Land Cruiser die-hards here at Hooniverse. In any guise, the Cruiser is off-road capable, durable as durable gets, and built to the highest standard in the automotive industry (at least this side of high-end…

  • Found For Sale: Does this 1999 Isuzu VehiCross your mind as a good deal?

    Found For Sale: Does this 1999 Isuzu VehiCross your mind as a good deal?

    The price is bonkers, I’ll tell you that. Still, the Isuzu Vehicross is a rare machine. And this example from 1999 seems to be in good shape. Everything reportedly works well. And the listed mileage of 110,383 is actually low for a car from 23 years ago. Additionally, these should be fairly capable rigs. There’s…

    If you bought one new, you paid at least $11k for one. But now you can pick up a Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle for more than half-off that price if you search around… especially if the one you’re looking at was dropped. The Full Throttle model is aimed to fulfill your flat-track desires. It seems…

    Return it to glory? This 1964 Buick Riviera could be awesome

    /

    No, it’s not a 1965 model with the cool hidden headlights. But it IS a first-generation Riviera, and it DOES have a 7.0-liter V8 under the hood. This 1964 Buick Riviera has clearly seen better days. But the listing says the car is complete, fully equipped, has no rust, and runs excellent. And a running,…

    I’m a sucker for a good green paint job. And this W210-generation 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 wagon wears its green hue well. It’s for sale locally on Craigslist and I’m telling myself I don’t need this one right now. But I’m having a hard time listening to my brain at the moment. Do I wish the…

    Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly-ish search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.  Yeah, it’s been a whole… The problem with randomly looking for cars you don’t need is that you often find something you want.

    Having recently sold my Project Integra on Bring-a-Trailer (more on that later), I started casually looking around for its pointless replacement. I started with Craigslist, of course, and it again proved itself to be a complete win/fail. Right on the first page on my local listings was the pictured homemade jewel. Based on a 1977…
