Did you know a 302c.i. V8, T-5 manual transmission and all the necessary accessories to make them work only cost $300? Apparently that’s what the subject of today’s public e-flogging believes.

Rare Devin Roller Shows Up on Craigslist, Vintage Racers- Prepare to Drool
/

comments
Auto racing has always been pretty much a rich-man’s sport. Back when wealthy racers plied the tracks in their Ferraris and Maseratis, one guy thought there might be a cheaper way into that club. Bill Devin designed and sold race cars that were able to run tire to tire with the big dogs, but were…

Are you looking for a LeMons ride but are sick and tired of all the fox-body stangs and e30 bimmers? Do you need a gunsight to line up the apex of a corner? How about a support vehicle to go along with your racer? Well, if you’re anywhere near Milwaukee Wisconsin, then we should talk.…

Priceless Lincoln Ranchero

comments
What’s better than 216.1 inches of 5 passenger personal coupe? Why 216.1 inches of luxury pickup truck, of course. While no price is fronted in the ad for this uniquely modified Lincoln, its innate practicality as a mobile landing field for light aircraft is of immeasurable value. With only 54K on the clock, this bench-seated…

Going Postal

comments
Are you worried about your current vehicle’s ability to get you from point A to point B? Then you should really consider plunking down the lowly eight Benjamins for this former Postal Jeep. That’s because “neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their…

Turbo Barge: Manual Transmission-ed '84 BMW 745i
/
/
comments
745i, that’s a 4.5L V8, right? Wrong! The 745i was arguably BMW’s most egregious departure from the [Series][Engine Size] nomenclature (at least until the current “Xdrive35i” or whatever they’re doing). You see, BMW decided that the turbocharged 3.2L I-6 had comparable power output to a 4.5L naturally aspirated engine (and that most owners would never…

We were about to post another Lieberman-tipped link to a mint-condition ’73 Dodge wagon on Hemmings. Then we saw the next post on Hemmings’ blog and our head exploded. The lead shot is awesome, but when you click through to see what’s up with that thing in the bed…

Since it doesn’t appear anyone has yet lept into the fray and purchased those two decrepit beautiful Corvairs I posted yesterday for sale on Craigslist for only $500, I figured I’d provide some additional motivation.

What Malaise? 6.6L Hurst/Olds

comments
We’re all familiar with the typical Craigslist seller whose writing makes us weep for English as a language and whose photography leaves you wondering if they went to extra trouble to add blur and decrease the resolution of the two and a half pathetic pictures which usually contain a pitbull. Sorry ’bout that. Where was…
