Catching some Z's: 1974 MZ 250

I was thinking the other day that one of the smaller effects of the cold war in the US, is that we didn't have much chance to sample consumer products of a true socialist state. It might have dulled the current enthusiasm for restricting choices of deodorant. If you'd still like to give it try, there are a few examples of iron curtain engineering out there. Find this 1974 MZ 250 for sale in Anchorage, AK for $1,500 via craigslist. Tip from Zach Z.Friday, October 9, 2015
Chevy Powered: 1958 Wartburg 311 Camping Limousine

Nothing says you are cool like a vintage Volkswagen Camper, except they are too big to park on the street in your trendy gentrifying urban neighborhood without offending somebody, and they are far too common...what you really need is something that matches your Che Guevara t-shirt and ironic Mao calf tattoo -- like this 1958 Wartburg Camping Limousine with Chevy 350 V8 power offered for a trade, located near Cincinnati, OH. Tip from FuelTruck.

5k: Farty Hans: 1977 Wartburg 353W

The Wartburg 353W was an East German built family sedan produced starting in 1968 and continuing with only minor changes all the way to 1988. In that time over 1 million of the oil burning 2-stroke powered sedans were released into the world, but you'll be hard pressed to see one in the wild today.
