Bad Advertisement: 1986 Chevrolet Corvette

One of the keys to successfully listing a car on Craigslist or Ebay is having a title that easily comes up in a search.  Good deals can often be found on listings with some sort of flaw or flaws that hide the ad from potential buyers.  For example, if you list car as a Vette instead of a Corvette, not that many Corvette buyers will see your ad.  Find this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette for $3,500 via New Haven, CT craigslist.

Presidents' Day: 1995 Renegade Custom Trike

If history has taught us anything, it's that military generals don't make very good presidents.  A general is accustomed to obtaining objectives through the use of superior firepower -- and that doesn't always translate well to the nuanced political landscape, but several generals did end up in the White House, including Dwight D. Eisenhower.  However, the meat that makes up a politician and military man are very different, sort of like the difference between a V8 muscle car and a motorcycle, but put them together and you get this 1995 Renegade Custom Trike here on eBay bidding for $4,100 reserve-not-met located in St George, UT.

Mr. Big Stuff: 1973 Kawasaki 350 Bighorn

It's not that I didn't believe KB-Zed's postulate (with endorsements from E-i-C Vince and Co-Founder CFlo) that the SF Bay Area Craigslist has the best listings, but still I have to do my President Reagan "Trust but verify". So when it came time to find a bike for this weeks edition of Two Stroke Tuesday, I thought I'd test the theory and use the Bay Area CL instead of my local CL, and damn, if KBZ wasn't right.  Find this 1973 Kawasaki 350 Bighorn for sale in Woodside, CA for $3,500 via craigslist.

2k: Stoned in WA (It’s Legal!): 1970 Bridgestone 350 GTR

This next feature comes from the pen of Gianni as part of Daily Turismo's 4-Stroke Good, 2-Stroke Better campaign to save the 2-strokes: The Kabushiki-gaisha Burijisuton or Bridgestone Corporation started in Japan in 1930 as a tire manufacturer with the goal of manufacturing tires based solely on Japanese technology in order to avoid dependence on European and North American technology.  During WW2 it was placed under military control and all tire manufacturing was directed toward military use.  The country and company was devastated after the war and began manufacturing motorcycles and bicycles in addition to tires.  In 1967, Bridgestone introduced the 350 GTR two stroke.  It was considered as one of the most sophisticated Japanese motorcycles of the 60’s and cost as much as a Triumph Bonneville.  Production ended in 1971 with only a small number of sales over the 4 years of manufacture.  Rumors persist that Honda and the other large Japanese bike manufacturers pressured Bridgestone to get out of motorcycle construction and concentrate on tires.  Find this 1970 Bridgestone 350 GTR on Craigslist in Des Moines, WA (not IA) for $2,100.

2K: The Spanish Imposition: 1975 Bultaco Alpina 350

This next feature comes from reader Gianni who (in his own words) decided to eat his own dogfood and write up this vintage dirtbike: The US Government’s debasing of the dollar has caused asset bubbles, even affecting the world of classic cars.  Thus the rapidly rising prices of classics have put many out of reach for the average joe.  Classic motorcycles have stepped in to fill the void; they are still affordable for mere mortals and easier to work on to boot.    Find this 1975 Bultaco Alpina 350 offered for $2,000 in Puyallup, WA via Craigslist.

4k: Throwback Hatchback: 1976 Chevrolet Chevette, 350 swap

Chevy's Chevette was a lightweight pipsqueak with two-digit horsepower and a freightliner's worth of negative connotations. It was embraced by the drag strip crowd, who found that it only took a small-block V8 to redeem an otherwise disposable economy trinket. Originally listed in January, this thing keeps getting closer to fiscal sensibility. Find this 1976 Chevrolet Chevette with a Chevy 350 for sale here on eBay, located San Juan Capistrano, CA currently bidding for $3,500 reserve-not-met ($5,000 buy-it-now) with three days to go.

5k: Fashion Faux Paws: 1973 Jaguar XJ, Chevy 350 swap

The Series I Jaguar XJ was the last out of the marquis to match superior driving dynamics and exemplary build quality with stunning design. It created the brand cachet that successive Jags prodigally exploited for decades. Power rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakes pushed the technological envelope, while the power plant pushed the sheet metal to higher top speeds than anyone else while looking better than anyone else. So it's a little unsettling that someone with adequate means commissioned a build that settled for ordinary: Yet another Chevy 350/Turbo 400-series swap. Find this 1973 Jaguar XJ6 here on craigslist with 350/R700 four-speed swap for $4,995, located in Las Vegas, NV.

1k: When Life Leads You to LeMons: 1971 Jaguar XJ, Chevy V8, Barn Find

Whoever found this rust-riddled Jaguar XJ with a Chevy 350 under the hood must have felt like the kid who got a stick of lip balm for Halloween. That's pretty cool and all, but what are you supposed to do with it? Can you trust it? It doesn't come with keys or an interior or verification if it runs at all. Sounds fun. Find this 1971 Jaguar XJ with Chevy 350 V8 in San Francisco, CA for $999 (or $500 "for LeMons guys") via craigslist. Better start working on that LeMons secret handshake.
