Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.
Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer, go! We all like to go fast, and most of us like to win. Trying to do so can set you back a pretty penny, over and over and over again, as even at LeMons level, racing is an expensive hobby. We’ll see if it can be worth it just after the jump, but right now we have another quest for you.
You know that cars mostly have four wheels (some trucks have six) while motorcycles generally have two. Add a sidecar to a bike however and the total tire count is three, and that means that any trike for the road requires just a motorcycle license. Let’s find all those that we can, let’s see what trikes (and bikes with sidecars) we can find for sale, craptacular and otherwise.
As always, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Since we’ve changed commenting systems, you may need to update your commenter account. Make sure you have a Disqus account – they’re free and easy to get – and then comment away.
The race cars found last week fell into two distinct categories, LeMons contenders, and real-deal racers. Seemingly straddling that line – until you read the details – is this tube frame Vega found by by The Rusty Hub. If vintage racing is your bag, then this Cosworth-powered all-out racer has a lot to offer. If instead you wanted something that could go toe to toe in SCCA’s current Grand Touring classes, then this might be a cheap seat entry. Either way, it won last week. Congrats to The Rusty Hub, and thanks to you all for your most excellent contributions.
