Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.
With great power comes great responsibility. As we found last week, that responsibility does not necessarily include maintaining a fat wallet. We’ll get the the biggest bang for your buck in a minute, but first we have this week’s business to discuss.
You know who has long been a purveyor of cheap horsepower? That’s right, the General. We’re going to eschew any sort of financial requirements this week, and only look for a brand. That brand is GM, and what I want is cars with GM engines… that aren’t from GM.
As always, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Follow any of the following advice and you’re crap will be known far and wide.
- Easiest way to not get caught in the spam filters is to create an IntenseDebate account. If you do so and your posts aren’t appearing, let us know at tips@hooniverse.info and we can put you on the whitelist
- If you don’t want an IDC account, you can create a wordpress.com account and do the same thing.
- If you’re the Ted Kaczynski type and don’t want any kind of account, then try to place only a single link in a comment and just drop any outgoing link in via its raw URL and not as a text link.
Got that? Good, now let’s see the cheapest speed we can get.
Who knew horsepower was so cheap? I’m going to split the win for last week between the car that I think offers the biggest bang for your buck – and that you might actually want to own – and one that’s just plain bat guano crazy. And at their asking prices, you could have both!
For the street, there is this sweet brown ’79 Chevy with a claimed 400+ ponies under its brown hood. Did I mention to you that it was brown? That one was offered up by Pinkerton and comes from Wausau. The other is an intensely crazy twin-engine Audi 100 with more V8s than you could shake its locked together twin sticks at. That audacious track-only Audi is located in Riedlhütte, Germany and was the find of the always reliable Manic_King. I’d like to congratulate the both of you – and offer thanks to everybody else – for all the strong work!
