5k: BBQ Season: 1965 Volvo Amazon SBC V8

Welcome to Memorial Day at the Daily Turismo, time to fire up the BBQ and get things cooking. The original plan for Memorial Day was to post nothing but Renault Fuegos (and other flammable French cars) for sale, but some kill joy mentioned something about this isn't a memorial of the start of BBQ season and we are supposed to honor the fallen heroes from our military -- more on that later, but first, a flaming death trap.  Find this 1965 Volvo Amazon SBC V8 offered for $4,800 in Orlando, FL via craigslist.  Tip from JPB.

10k: Avocado Mega-Wagon; 1971 Chevy C/20 Suburban

If you're anything like us here at DT, you are always on the lookout for a cheap, cool workhorse to haul your junk, be it the family, the boat, the Lemons car to the next crapcan race, an engine home from the junkyard you were able to pull just before they closed at dusk...whatever! When it comes to haulers, GM's Suburban is hard to beat for its combination of simplicity, large interior volume, strength, and reasonable prices. This 1971 C/20 Suburban is based on one of the best-looking generations of Chevy truck and seems to be in great shape for the price, even though it is minus one door compared to later versions. Find it here on AutoTrader Classics for $9900 in San Diego, CA. Thanks to AbnMike for the tip! He says "I haven't seen it in person, and if I wasn't jonesin' for a 70s Alfa GTV or 2002tii like a neglected housewife in the 50's needed over the counter amphetamines this would already be parked next to my house."
