This next car comes as a tip from SecondMouse who writes: Somewhere within the vicinity of this particular automobile is someone who needs a good slap. Letting a 1965 two-door Impala SS with a 427 4 speed sit outside like this... Hopefully, someone out there has the desire and the budget to put this beast back on the road. Find it here in the Houston area, asking $8500 and looking pretty complete. Find this 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS offered for $8,500 in Houston, TX via craigslist.
Prices for the Mercury/Ford Capri have been historically low for a number of reasons. First was Fords inexplicable placement of the Capri at Mercury dealers when it was a Ford in Europe and sold well as a Ford over there...but in 1974 it was objectively a wayyyy better Mustang than the Mustang II and somebody in the Ford product planning group managed to get the Capri festooned with a Mercury badge. The years since haven't been any nicer, because car guys have prefered to drive Opel Mantas and Nissan Z cars...but if you open your heart (and eyes) you might find that the little Capri has something unique to offer. Find this 1974 Mercury Capri offered for $4995 in Mason, TX via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
In 1954 Dodge released a new series of full sized pickups that could be purchased in a conventional front-engine style truck or a monstrous cab over engine beast like you can see here. You don't see many of them and you certainly wouldn't like to see one looming in your rear view mirror like a scene out of the Duel. Find this 1957 Dodge C-Series COE here on eBay bidding for $4,650 with 3 days to go, located in Lake City, CO. Tip from Terry.
I'm getting ready for the 4th of July and trying to get into the spirit of things , so I jumped when I saw a 2-door muscle car from tipper FuelTruck offered for a fabulous asking price. What could possibly go wrong? Find this 1964 Ford Galaxie Hardtop offered for $5995 via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
Nobody respects a perfection condition shop truck. If it doesn't have some dings and dents in the bed, then you aren't using the truck as it should be. Perhaps this next pile of rust might be a bit too far gone for daily driving, but you could certainly justify the exposure to tetanus for a weekend Lowes Despot hauler. Find this 1954 Chevrolet Pickup offered for $6,500 here on eBay buy-it-now or make-offer located in Sacramento, CA with 2 days to go.
The Lancia Flavia (Tipo 815/819/820) was build in Italy from 1961 through 1971, although production continued through 1975 with the name Lancia 2000. Today's example is the breathtaking Pininfarina designed coupe offered for a bargain price because it needs some attention. Find this 1963 Lancia Flavia PF here on eBay offered for $8,500 buy-it-now or make-offer, located in Wylie, TX with 15 days to go.
As a typical spoiled California used car shopper, I abhor rust. The slightest hint of oxidized metal will send me running for a mojito and my surfboard. But the reality of life is that we still get some rust around here in these parts, particularly if you just let paint flake off the drive around in a car with bare exposed metal. Like this 1973 Datsun 240Z offered for $2,500 in Merced, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The holy grail of Porsche 914 collecting isn't the 914-6 like you might think...no, the 914-6 is great, but too expensive, and it isn't the Bumblebee or Creamsickle. In 1974 Porsche released the Can-Am inspired Bumblebee and Creamsickle as limited edition cars for North America with production of less than 1000 in total. Find these two 1974 Porsche 914 Limited Editions offered for an undisclosed price in Denver, CO via craigslist.
For the most part, Canadian automotive needs have been served by whatever the guys are selling in the USA -- Canada is just treated like the 51st state...which is fine because the USA has always had a varied and interesting offerings from many OEMs. However, in 1959 the Canucks got their own headlining Pontiac, something called the Parisienne, that had all the sophistication of a Paris coffee shop, but room for a dead moose carcass in the trunk. Find this 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible offered for $4,500 in South Ft Myers, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.
by Matt -- Someone
has gone the non-committal trar (truck + car, for the uninitiated) route
and mounted this pommy 1951 Ford on a 1977 Toyota Truck frame, making one
unforgivable error in the process: non-driven front wheels. Everyone
who's anyone in the Charlotte metro area knows that in order to make a
proper trar, one must select the 4x4 variant of said truck upon which to
booger weld the body of the automobile. In fact, I think I remember
Ms.Collier teaching this in 8th grade North Carolina history class just
after the section on squatter's rights. Anyway, I digress. The sensible
path was instead taken, resulting in a dare I say usable immediate
post-war British classic.
