The Grim Reaper Report

By K2 Mystery Car  -- Goodbye.

Every year I like to make a list of the car models that are disappearing. Often, they create an opportunity for savvy car shoppers to work with dealers looking to unload undesirable cars they no longer want.

Some of these cars still exist as other variants or rebadged models, some are just on a hiatus, while many are down and out for a permanent dirt nap (cue Monty Python skit here).

10k: Der Liddle Schtinker: 1967 NSU TTS Prinz

Popular culture regularly tells us that it is good to be different.  Bristol-Myers Co ran a commercial ad campaign a few that described Nuprin as-- Little. Yellow. Different. Better. Unfortunately the product didn't do well in the Asian communities because they felt it was a racial slur and Nuprin was ultimately a failure, but the need to be different continues to be a driving force in day-to-day decision making. Being different for a car guy can be as simple as driving anything from AMC for your classic, or you can go off the deep end with something like this 1967 NSU TTS offered here on craigslist for $9,500 near Cleveland, OH.
