Custom built cars tend to be awesome or horrible, not much middle ground. And when we say custom, we aren't talking about kit-cars; we are talking about honest real built-from-scratch madness. Potentially cool in form and function, customs will always be unreliable and unsafe, but only because a production car has had millions of dollars and tens of thousands of engineering man hours behind its parts and assemblies.

In a market crowded with lots of over-priced cars, cars posted without an asking price, and cars posted in a manner that purposely hides defects, we really appreciate coming across sellers who are candid about the condition of their cars. Especially when those cars represent a real opportunity for their next owner. Case in point, last week's 1966 Corvair Convertible with A/C.
