#518 of 750: 1987 Dodge Shelby CSX

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- anything touched by the ten gallon hat sporting Texas chicken farmer is gonna be worth something in the future.  It doesn't really matter how terrible the donor chassis was, or what sort of shortsighted bean counters ruined the original version, but if Carroll Shelby put his name on the side of a Radio Flyer, fat cats would drop big money on clean examples under air conditioned tents at big name auctions.  The bare bones could even be the totally underwhelming Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance...or have I gone too far?  Find this 1987 Dodge Shelby CSX offered for $5,700 via Cincinnati craigslist.   Tip from FuelTruck.

1982 AMC Eagle Sundancer

The Eagle was AMC's late '70s answer to the OPEC oil embargo and high gas prices that followed; sales of traditional pickup trucks and SUVs were down, so they introduced a plus sized car riding on a raised suspension in what can be considered the ancestor to the modern crossover SUV (CUV).  A few hundred (200 according to some sources) were turned over to the Griffith Coachworks in Florida, who did what they were paid to do -- and lopped off the top, turning it into a quasi convertible/targa known as the Sunchaser.  Find this 1982 AMC Eagle Sundancer offered for $4,800 in Port Huron, MI via craigslist.  Seller sub from Gord.
