Mind Bogger: 1966 Volkswagen Beetle Mudder

"If changing a motor is a huge task to you, then this is not the right style rig for you." -- we need more of this kind of honesty in craigslistings.  The world would be a better place if there was less of "I assume the mileage is actual" and more of "it is a mud bogger and it always need minor tinkering, and if it is used correctly you will break axles, transmissions, transfer cases, motors and you will replace them and go again".  Yes, indeed the world would be a better place if everyone was more like the man known as Mudallica who built the Mud Jagger and is now selling this 1966 Volkswagen Beetle Mudder offered for $2,000 in Spokane, WA via craigslist.  Seller submission from Mudallica.

Silence of the Benz

 It rubs the carnuba wax on the paint or it gets a busted coolant hose again.  There was a time when this '78 Chevrolet Blazer was a young SUV with dreams of 4x4 trails on his mind, but after years of systematic abuse and it had a sort-of identity crisis that caused it to go all nutso.  Now, it looks like a 1961 Mercedes Benz off-roader currently bidding for $1,300 with 3 days to go, located in Hardy, AR via eBay.
