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.
Under twenty thousand, supercharged or turbo’d is no way to go through life, son. Oh wait a minute, sure it is! That’s just what we went looking for last week and you sure found a diverse universe of thus-equipped cars, trucks, military armament and things for which they have yet to make up names. We’ll see what’s what in just a sec, but first this week’s wet adventure.
It’s been raining here in California pretty much without respite for the past two months. Despite the unusually rich gift from the heavens above, the majority of the state remains in severe water shortage conditions. That’s quite the puzzling contradiction, at least until someone with science explains the situation to you and then you go back to not flushing the pot every time.
Another contradiction is convertibles that were never meant by the factory to be convertibles. Seeing as it’s still raining, let’s look for just that—aftermarket droptops on cars that were never offered as such from the factory. The weirder the better.
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.
Got that? Good, now let’s put the pressure on!
I think that the biggest ah-ha moment of last week’s challenge was the dredging up of so many cars and trucks that I think many of us had forgotten offered the option of a blown engine. Well, I mean super- or turbo-charged, not like blown up. With pretty much any car out there you can find examples of the latter.
Fuhrman16 got the ball rolling with a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6, which, yes, was turbocharged. Not to be outdone, Hillman_Hunter (great name, BTW) Pepperidge Farmed that the 1987 Toyota MR2 was, yes, available with a supercharger. GTXcellent reminded us all that he lives in a place where winter takes no prisoners, and offered up a funky-looking RZR 1000xp Turbo for all your off-road and no-road pleasure.
Some of the more expectedly blown cars and trucks  were the 2005 Subaru Legacy—with a stick!—located by Tomsk, and ptschett‘s contribution of a scary-looking 1994 Saab 900. Ptschett took home the prize for a car that circles back to the “they offered a blown edition of that?” arena. That would be the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with its supercharged 3800 V6 engine. I don’t think I’d want to touch the ’97 salvage title edition ptschett found, but a nicer one might still be appealing.
Congrats to ptschett, and thank you all for you wonderful and thought provoking contributions. Now, let’s all go topless!
