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. 
Are you OD’d on Pebble Beach and news of the Monterey Weekend? yeah, it’s nice to see how the other-half lives, but after a while it makes you wonder where these people get all their money. I mean, this is America, right? We’re the home of the poors. Still, I’m contemplating a trek up to hobnob with the haves next year and I asked you all to find me something to drive up the coast that would both impress and cost less than twenty-five grand. We’ll see what my hypothetical ride might be in a sec, but first this week’s quarry.
You know what they say will make you rich? A lifetime of hard work, that’s what. I don’t know, as I see a lot of people trading on their celebrity and seemingly not doing all that much to make beaucoup bucks in return. I think that maybe getting someone else to do the work and then taking advantage of that is really the way to go, and as such this week I want us to find the best in completed kit cars presently for sale. No half-finished fare, only finished works – and stuff we’d perhaps like to drive.
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 my trips up to the Monterey Weekend was behind the wheel of an old Ford E250 window van, towing a box trailer that must have weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty tons. At least that’s how it felt, and no matter how we positioned the car inside or adjusted air pressure in the tires, that thing would wag like a happy dog at anything over 55 miles per hour. It was a long trip up and back.
Of course, once we pulled the 1950 Jaguar XK120 we were carrying out of the tailer and used that for the weekend’s activities, the journey up was all but forgotten. That’s just what you need for a multi-day car event – something sweet to drive and to show off amid all the other expensive iron. I appreciate all the suggestions, especially those involving cars that wouldn’t be able to break 40 on Hwy 1, and came without A/C. Still, I could totally see pulling into the Nepenthe restaurant, or Ventana Inn parking lots in Big Sur in either the 1952 MG TD found by Kiefmo or the ’53 Kaiser offered up by smalleyxb122.
The car that I really think would make a statement however – especially seeing as BMW is the featured marque at next year’s Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion – is this sweet ’67 Barracuda coupe found by AnamDuine. Rocking a 340 and being one of the lesser-loved of the ’60s muscle cars makes it the perfect choice for a quick run up the coast and a cruiser for the long weekend. Of course the lack of A/C will mean that day’s end will require a cooling quaff, but I have no issue with that.
Congrats to AnimDuine and thanks to  you all! Now I have 51 weeks to figure out how to make this happen.
