Proof of Concept: 2019 US Econo-Car

Oh boy.  Whenever somebody sends in something like this, I have to cringe. Not because the car itself is a repugnant abomination beyond forgiveness and an offence against taste and decency, but because I can see future and the future goes like this: I write something snarky, people in the comments feed on that seed of revulsion and then 2 years later the owner/builder/seller finds this site and goes all rain man in the comments about how we've stolen photos and the commenters are loathsome communists who wouldn't know a good idea if it fell out of the bottom of a 747 and hit them in the head like a piece of supersonic blue ice.  Anyway...find this 2019 US Econo-Car offered for an undisclosed amount of cash located in Tucson, AZ via craigslist. Tip from Peter.

10k: BOGO Concept Car: 1978 Pontiac Grand Am

The 2nd generation Pontiac Grand Am was a G-body GM offering that frankly most people have forgotten or would prefer to forget.  Its wasn't just that 1978 was the depths of low compression engines and poor engineering solutions to emissions problems (huge smog/air pumps, electronic carbs...etc), but the Grand Am was just so forgettable compared to the Buick Regal.  However, an actual factory concept car for less than 10 grand makes the old ears perk up...even if it is a Grand Am.  Find this 1978 Pontiac Grand Am factory concept car for sale in Albuquerque, NM for $8,500 with a free bonus parts car!  Tip from Paul M.
