Casper The Friendly Ghosn: 1992 Nissan March

This next car has a mouth that is big enough to swallow a full grown man...like maybe an automotive executive and chairman who needs to maybe flee to his home country.  He could easily stow away in that gaping mouth and emerge once the cargo plane has cleared customs.  In theory.   And I would have saved this car for the Idles of March (et tu Nissan?)...but it'll probably be gone by then because it is sweeeeet! Find this 1992 Nissan March offered for $3000 in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.

Cab Over Engine: 1957 Dodge C-Series COE

In 1954 Dodge released a new series of full sized pickups that could be purchased in a conventional front-engine style truck or a monstrous cab over engine beast like you can see here.  You don't see many of them and you certainly wouldn't like to see one looming in your rear view mirror like a scene out of the Duel.  Find this 1957 Dodge C-Series COE here on eBay bidding for $4,650 with 3 days to go, located in Lake City, CO. Tip from Terry.

A Hatchback By Any Other Name: 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout


In the words of the immutable Inigo Montoya: "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means" applies to the next car because the seller lists it as a Ford Pinto Round About.  Find this 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout offered for $5,500 in Ft Myers, FL via craigslist.  Tip from Dascpcu.

Fat Chick: 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14

When Volkswagen decided to diversify their product portfolio in the mid 1950s they did so with the help of Luigi Segre from carrozzeria Ghia and hand built bodywork from karosseriebauer Karmann.  The result was a stylish coupe that used styling themes that Ghia had previously explored with Chrysler and Studebaker mated to the simple Beetle floorpan.  It was a such a good looking car (for something from the 1950s) that even Virgil Exner claimed some credit for the design -- and it does look like a 5/8ths scale Chrysler D'Elegance.  Find this 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14 offered for $8,000 in San Carlos, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
