That vehicle above? It’s a [sc:ebay itemid=”161276278883″ linktext=”Go-4 Interceptor electric… thing, and it’s for sale right now on eBay Motors”]. I found it in the “Other Makes” section, which is a wonderful repository of truly diverse machines being offered up for a vast range of prices.
The eBay Motor Other Makes is my go-to search section when I want to find the weird, wild, and wonderful that’s currently for sale today. Let’s take a dip into this wacky pond, but remember that this is just the tip of a massive iceberg.
This is a [sc:ebay itemid=”301153157175″ linktext=”1963 LeGrand Cheetah Formula 4 race car”]. It was sold back in the day either assembled or as a kit, and was used campaigned in the short-lived F4 racing series. This specific Cheetah happened to be purchased, and then never assembled. It was eventually put together yet, per the seller, still has a bit more work required to get it ready to run.
What you would be buying here is essentially a brand-new 1963 LeGrand Cheetah. Sure, your track rat is fun to drive… but this could take things to another level.
Perhaps a [sc:ebay itemid=”331179377700″ linktext=”Crosley Wagon done over by NHRA Hall of Famer Carl Grimes”] might be what you’re after? This was the first car entered at the first ever NHRA nationals. It was capable of running the quarter mile in 11.15 with a trap speed of almost 130 miles per hour. Power is provided by an Oldsmobile V8 that is teamed up with a trio of Stromberg carbs.
If you don’t want to go fast, I found something that enjoys going slow. This is a [sc:ebay itemid=”261455072495″ linktext=”fully restored 1973 Jeep M35A2″]. It weighs… a lot, which is why it gets moving courtesy of Hercules LDT 465 cubic-inch turbocharged diesel engine. The world is your oyster with this blue beast, and we hope the buyer takes it to Whole Foods on a grocery run.
Looking for a quick exit from your corporeal being? This MEV powered by a Suzuki Hyabusa engine should be just what you’re looking for. It’s called the [sc:ebay itemid=”141260588618″ linktext=”MEVABUSA”]… and it weighs just 840 pounds.
Sure, that Jeep shown above is pretty cool, but this [sc:ebay itemid=”281312614865″ linktext=”Pinzgauer” ] is where it’s really at.
If you want a vehicle that stands out from the crowd a bit, look no further than this [sc:ebay itemid=”261450251184″ linktext=”1985 TVR Tasmin” ]. If you ever run across another one on the road, you are probably in the United Kingdom. Even there, we imagine it’s quite a sight.
A [sc:ebay itemid=”321381778979″ linktext=”Bricklin SV-1″]… with a 496 cubic-inch big block engine paired with a massive blower. This car, per the seller, puts down 835 horsepower at the rear wheels. This might just give that MEVABUSA a run for its money in the Welcome to Hell department.
As I said before, this is just the tip of the iceberg for the Other Makes section. There are a ton of oddball electric vehicles, private Prevost buses, military vehicles, race cars, and, for some reason, tons of McLaren 12Cs. Go forth and find more excellence via eBay, and share your findings in the comment section below.
