Wherever You Go, There You Are: 1986 Yugo GV

A few years after Malcolm Bricklin made a decent amount of money importing small Subaru cars in the USA, he launched his own auto company, which made the DeLoreanesque SV-1.  The SV-1 was a cool car, but was arguably a financial failure, so Mr Bricklin went back to doing what he did best: importing cheap cars for the US economy car market.  Except for the next project he didn't find a reliable Japanese partner and instead partnered with the Serbian based Zastava Automobiles....and the rest is a punchline to every other joke.  Find this 1986 Yugo GV here on eBay bidding for $3000 with 1 day to go, located in Minnesota City, MN.

Heebie-GV's: 1988 Yugo GV

3k: Vanilla Yugort: 1987 Yugo GV

"You can't have too much of a good thing" is one of those truisms that isn't remotely true. The obvious caveat: candy corn. The first two handfuls are bliss, the second three induce stomach aches, and each recurrence (likely accompanied with Halloween-themed booze like Morgue-A-Rita) will end your night early and rot your teeth out. No such rotting seems to afflict this low-mile, squeaky clean Yugo GV. Yes, another Yugo, because on Daily Turismo, you can't have too much of a decrepit heap. Find this 1987 Yugo GV in Charlotte, NC for $2,999 via craigslist.

1k: Thundercats HOOOO! 1987 Yugo GV with 900cc Snowmobile Power

 The Serbian built Yugo GV was such an miserably disgraceful excuse for an automobile that even swapping in a LS1 would leave you with a feeling of meh.  Its cool...but I'd rather have an F-body Camaro...  No. Full stop.  The only way you are going to pull a Yugo from the depths of shame is by going full RenĂ©e Zellweger on it.  Rip out that 50ish horsepower 4-banger and replace it with a 160 hp two-stroke mated to a CVT from an Artic Cat snowmobile.  Commence hoonage.  Find this 1987 Yugo GV with 900cc Snowmobile Power currently bidding for $1,350 on eBay, located in Fremont, OH with 2 days to go.

Y is for Yieldless: 1987 Yugo GV

Y is for Yugoslavian, a household term synonymous with high manufacturing standards and reliability. Indeed, following Yugo's lauded introduction to the U.S. Market in 1986, the sales success of Yugoslavian imports put pressure on the Big Three domestic automakers to increase their build quality and fuel efficiency. And now, an all-original example can be yours for under $3,000. Find this 1987 Yugo GV in San Antonio, TX for $2,400 via craigslist.
