From May 13, 2013: Recently we had our eyes on a nice sleeper
LS1 powered Nova, complete with granny wheels, but after getting a boost from a famous third party website the little Chevy's price went supernova and it sold for a lofty $19,500. This was a premium price that we at Daily Turismo reserve for exotics like
Goonsquad Porsche 911s,
Fatlace Alfa GTVs and
550 hp Audi RS4s....not that this helps our credibility in the least bit ... ahem ... moving on. We passed on featuring the Nova but were able to find another LS wrapped in a super vintage sleeper shell...find this
1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 w/ fuel injected LQ4 GM V8 for sale in Watertown, WI currently bidding on ebay for $3,550 with 3 days to go.
Tip from Oldsmobuick.
Update, Oct. 24 2013: This car apparently didn't sell on ebay, and was recently spotted by reader Art C. posted
here on craigslist in Oconomowoc, WI. Looks like the same pictures are being used, a parts car is included (if desired) and the asking price is $6500...or is that $7500 (the ad lists both)? Either way, seems like a really decent sleeper muscle coupe for the price, even if this is now the third time it's come up on our radar.
Thanks to Art for the re-tip!
