Craigslist Crapshoot

Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer. 
An Infinity Pool is one were it looks like the far edge floats in mid-air. It’s insane! Also edgy and a little bit insane were Nissan’s original Infiniti models, which were offered in stark contrast to the classy but generally dull competition from what was then another new kid on the block, Lexus. Strangely, the duller cars won out, Lexus outselling Infiniti smartly. That’s left very few Infinitis on the used car circuit, but you all were able to still find some winners. We’ll get to the winningest in a sec, but first… well, you know the drill.
Infiniti may have offered some of the weirdest rides to come out of Japan, but that country is known for their eclectic tastes in almost all things. You know what country isn’t known for that? That’s right, Sweden! The land of Ikea is better known for its stoic reliance on all things white and a penchant for simple honest designs. That doesn’t mean that their car makers haven’t on occasion also gotten weird, and that’s just what we want this week – weird and wonderful Swedes!
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.

One of Infiniti’s most desirable present-day cars is also one of its most approachable, that being the G37 in both Sedan and Coupe bodystyles. Those are handsome, capable, and share a lot of parts with the 370Z, which of course means that their pedigree is also top notch.
Before the Japanese up-market brand found its present styling sensibility, it pretty much threw everything it had against the wall to see what would stick. One of the most eclectic of those was the J30, an ovoid sedan that, like the present day G shared a lot of kibbles and bits with Nissan’s Z car. This 1994 J30, in gold and rocking wheels from a G35, looks to be an excellent example of the breed. Found by Citric, it has actually dropped a couple hundred in price since appearing here last week. Somebody in Canada should pick this bad boy up, at least for the opportunity to – as the ad advocates – eat off the engine.
Congrats to Citric, and thanks to you all for playing!
