Happy Halloween: 1966 Buick Sport Wagon

The original Buick Sport Wagon was built on GM's A-Body platform shared with the Skylark and Special...but also the Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu, El Camino, and Oldsmobile Cutlass, F-85...oh boy...we could be here for a while, let me skip to the end...the Buick Sport Wagon shared most of its bits with the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, including the sweet sweet vista windows that help rear passengers get sunburn on long drives and are impossible to replace if one cracks...so this next car is probably worth more for the glass than anything.  But the rust makes it a legitimate horrorod.  Happy Halloween! Find this 1966 Buick Sport Wagon here on eBay bidding for $1,375 with buy-it-now of $1800 located in Pembina, ND.

Happy Halloween: 1966 Chevrolet Corvair V8 versus 1984 Pontiac Fiero V8

Happy Halloween!! On today's episode of What'll Kill You Quicker, we've got a'66 Corvair that's been de-clawed of its oversteer prone swing-axle suspension, but it is now sporting a front mounted V8 and enough custom shenanigans to keep you guessing the next failure mode for years...versus an '84 Fiero that has 20 year newer safety technology...but is still a plastic bodied piece of mid engined junk that now has a giant V8 shoved right behind your soft and squishy mammalian cortex.  What'll Kill You Quickest?

Horrorod Festival:1987 Chevrolet Caprice

The Horrorod as defined by Daily Turismo as: Any customized vehicle that makes you want to huddle up in the fetal position and cry.  As Halloween approaches, we prepare for our annual Festival of Horrorods the only way we know how...which is to post more Horrorods.  It is a vicious circle of horror, but I'm not going to stop it.  If I try to stop, the clown will eat me.  Find this 1987 Chevrolet Caprice offered for $2,500 in Bend, OR via craigslist.

1975 VW Beetle Custom

If you are a gear-head, your taste in 60's spooky sitcoms probably leans more towards the Munsters vs. The Addams Family.  The Munsters had their Barris Koach and Grandpa's Drag-u-la whereas all the Addams Family had was a V-12 Packard.  Maybe if they had this VW with a 351 Windsor in it, your viewing habits might be different.  Find this 1975 VW Beetle Custom for sale in Grand View, ID for $12,000 via craigslist.

Horrorod From 1976: Vette verus Camaro

In the next few days, one of the biggest decisions of the decade will be upon us -- no, I'm not talking about the US presidential election where you will vote for one of two corporate approved future overlords, neither of which will do anything about the waning influence the USA has over world affairs and mostly just help pad the pockets of their billionaire friends -- NO, I'm taking about DT's Horrorod from 1976 run off -- the worst of the worst.

Truck-or-Treat: 1975 Ford F-250

One last quick feature before I take the kids out trick-and-treating, and this is one I wouldn't mind finding in my candy bucket. The sixth generation Ford F-series was produced from 1973 through 1979 on a chassis that was first released in 1965.  It was during this generation that the F-series took the prize as the best-selling truck in America, a title it has maintained ever since.  Find this 1975 Ford F-250 here on eBay bidding for $23,000 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go, located in West Jordan, UT.

Eldonkado: 1967 Cadillac Eldorado

We continue our DTween celebration of horrors with this next car, a Cadillac Eldorado that has been mildly donked with 22 inch rims and a raised suspension.  It actually looks menacing and sorta scary in the seller's parking garage pictures.  Find this 1967 Cadillac Eldorado here on eBay bidding for $4,850 reserve-not-met with 3 days to go and $7,500 buy-it-now located in North Hollywood, CA.

Welcome to another edition of the  Thursday Twister, DT's favorite brake from reality where we twist words upon themselves to form sentence pretzels -- aka sentzels.  Today's Twister topic is topical because Saturday is All Hallows Eve...so get into the spirit of things and pick your favorite scary car.

Silence of the Benz

 It rubs the carnuba wax on the paint or it gets a busted coolant hose again.  There was a time when this '78 Chevrolet Blazer was a young SUV with dreams of 4x4 trails on his mind, but after years of systematic abuse and it had a sort-of identity crisis that caused it to go all nutso.  Now, it looks like a 1961 Mercedes Benz off-roader currently bidding for $1,300 with 3 days to go, located in Hardy, AR via eBay. 

This is part of the 2014 Daily Turismo Halloween Horrorod special, where movies and cars collide. Don't get scared out of your skin.

Coffee Brake: Halloween Costume Time

As the festival of women dressed like skanks known as Halloween approaches, it is a time to consider appropriate costumes for grown men...particularly grown men who like cars. So, pick your favorite automotive hero (dead or alive) and build yourself a costume.  In classic DT fashion, the cheaper the better, and who doesn't love an obscure reference to the engineer who invented the side view mirror?
