    Our good Friend Of Hooniverse Jeremy, aka damnElantra, posted this on his FaceBork page a few minutes ago, and I immediately fell in love with it. Much like an earlier Mercedes van someone posted that I finally — finally — got talked out of by cooler heads prevailing, I immediately developed a soft spot for…

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl75pIjbOL0[/youtube] The bidding on this gorgeous car still has a few hours to go, but as of this writing, it still hasn’t crossed $6,000. What the hell is wrong with people?

  • 400ci SBC-Powered TR6 Will Probably Kill You, But Totally Worth It

    /

    comments

    You know it’s bad when the seller includes “death trap” in their listing title on eBay. This TR6 is rocking a 400 smallblock, 2-speed Powerglide and not much else. The top is shot, the windshield is some kind of cruel joke (the original’s in a box) and…well, it’s all about as bad as you’d fear.…

    …It’s time to make LeMonade! All too often we come across some crazy beater on Craigslist that’s just begging to go out in a blaze of glory. That, or it comes with a ready-made theme too awesome to pass up. Regardless, it’s tricky to wring 150-ish words of description out of 3 blurry cell phone…

  • 1963 V8 Falcon Sprint Convertible is the Stray You Have to Take Home

    We’ll open with the stats: 260ci V8, 4-speed, power-top convertible 1963 Falcon. It’s got 5-lug hubs and an 8″ rearend. Quite the platform for a nice classic cruiser. Old Falcons weigh next to nothing, and the 260 would be a nice combo of power and economy, especially hooked to a proper gearbox. With a starting…

    Just a note: the baddest car ever to roll out of 1979 is still available. The owner, Sebastian, has to go back to Germany a couple of weeks and needs to sell the car. We’ve seen it in person and driven it, alas, it’s been decided the Mad_Science driveway and project schedule is too full…

  • What the Hell? "1947" Fiat-Crosley Thing

    /

    comments

    My first thought was Dr. Seuss Goes Racing. Beyond that, it devolves into a bunch of “huh?” and “what?”. To begin with, ain’t no way this is a 1947 anything. The seller bought it from the daughter of the original owner (and likely, builder), meaning we’re at least two levels removed from the real story.…
