Joker here, my next order of business is to add a touch of class on this site and stop posting all those crappy BMWs, douchey Alfas, miserably slow Volvos and prick-filled Porsches. With that out of the way, I'm still a fan of nice looking classic cars, but prefer cheaper versions. Furthermore, on a meager assistant evil-doer salary you aren't going to be able to afford a real pre-war Mercedes, so why not pick up the next best thing: a Gazelle kit car- nobody but a real stick-in-the-mud car aficionado is going to know this is a kit car and if you work for the Joker, I'll give free reign to run any one of
those people over. Anyway, find this
1929 Gazelle Mercedes SSK Kit Car for sale in Orange, CA for $4,000 via craigslist.
Part AC ME3000 and part Matra 530, this conglomeration of influences is mostly VW, as you may expect. Then something brilliant happened; the VW pancake motor was exchanged for a Mazda rotary, thereby reducing the kit-car-ness by at least 50% and miraculously transforming it into something you want. Find this 1968 Hebina Gazelle for sale in Hillsboro, OR for $2,500 via craigslist.
The first and second generation Singer Gazelle was an Rootes group sedan/estate/convertible that was built on a shared platform with the Hillman Minx. The Gazelle is the car to get if you want more people asking "what is it" than instead of saying "I had one back in the 60s." Find this 1959 Singer Gazelle convertible offered for $9,500 in Sebastian, FL via craigslist. Seller submission from Dave.
