Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.
Truckin’ by the Grateful Dead is off of their 1970 album American Beauty, and has been classified by the Library of Congress as a national treasure. Last week we sought some national treasure in the form of classic pickup trucks, and boy was there a richness of booty – and not of the butt kind. We’ll get our tailgate on in a minute, but first this week’s business.
I’m feeling lazy this Wednesday, and as such I want cars that offer effortless power. To get that, we’re going to need a honkin’ big V12, and so that’s just what I want. All the V12s you can find, the cheaper the better. We’ll grade on price vs condition next week.
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.
If you’re down with that, let’s look at some trucks.
When it comes to finding old trucks, I just want to say that you ALL are winners. You were able to dig up so many cool trucks – like GTXcellent‘s ’36 Dodge find, or the ’53 Five-Window found by James. In the end, I did want to call out Sajalabais, not just for fining this amazing Volvo TP21, but ale for this equally awesome Chevy-powered Willys that was linked on its ad. Congrats to Sajalabais, and to you all!
