Original Post 23-Oct-2014: Remember that time the lunar rover got really drunk and hooked up with a short bus?  Yeah, he still gets ribbed at the annual moon equipment reunion at the Culver City sound stage used for the actual landing...but, its worse than we thought...apparently the short bus got pregnant and had a baby.  Congrats to the new family, but that lunar rover needs to figure out a better paying job to afford the child car payments.  Find this 1964 Volkswagen Boonie Bus offered for $9,500 in San Diego, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Sean.

Coffee Brake: FrankenCar

There is that special category of cars known as the FrankenCar. It is more than a simple engine swap or a fancy paint job, it is an unlikely pairing of engine, body and chassis for which the reader gets to decide if it's genius or folly.  A FrankenCar is a confluence of cacophony that can strike a chord or make you totally deaf.  This feature is meant to be a catalyst for discussion; First, find us some FrankenCars; Second, do we focus too much on the insane?  In the meantime, enjoy this Corbird (or Firevair?) -- it is a 1965 Corvair on a 1977 Firebird Chassis currently bidding for $5,000 in Los Angeles, CA via eBay.

1k: Fair Weather Frankenstein: 1979 BMW 320i V8

The E21 generation is one of the better deals available on the market for BMWs that fall into the "depreciated modern classic" bucket.  While we prefer a clean and original version for our daily driving needs, a hot rod E21 certainly would tick off a few boxes on the bucket list.  Find this 1979 BMW 320i V8 for sale in Plymouth, PA for $2,000 via craigslist.  Tip from the Hack Mechanic.
