The Real Luftgekühlt: 1958 King Midget III

The King Midget is not a child's toy that someone sneaked past the dimwits at their local DMV, but a micro car that traces it roots all the way back to 1946.  The initial versions were kit cars offering the unbeatable value of a 500 lb car for $500, but later the guys at the Midget Motors Corp offered fully assembled King Midgets...which is a strange name for a car powered by a single cylinder aircooled Wisconsin motor that pushed out 9.2 horsepower into a 2-speed...royal indeed. Find this 1958 King Midget offered for $11,500 in Northwest CT via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

20k: Cold War Tactical Command Post: 1972 Land Rover Series III Carawagon Field Command

The Sugga from earlier today had us dreaming about classic military vehicles and the only problem is a lack of space for maps and planning in something like a TP-21 or hummer.  Sure, you can forge great rivers and withstand small arms fire, but where do you put your maps, tactical charts and the big board?  Luckily for us, tipper extraordinaire Kaibeezy sent us the perfect vehicle.  Find this 1972 Land Rover Series III Carawagon Field Commanders Tactical Command Post for sale in Sonoma, CA offered for $20,000 via craigslist.
