We've been critical of the Volkswagen Beetle in the past, mostly for its lackluster performance and tweedle-bleet exhaust note...no to mention sketchy handling characteristics...but that was before we found one with a Ford Mustang I-4 mounted out the back. Find this 1969 Volkswagen Beetle with Ford 2.3 liter inline-4 power for sale in Whittier, CA for $2,900 via craigslist.
If posting one BMW New Class is good, then two is better...right? Today's Tii example requires some elbow grease before you can sell it to some rich dude for 30 large, but what if you hate to deal with bad paint? Pick up this 1968 BMW 1600 with M10 power and 5-speed for sale in Dublin, CA for $6,200. Tip from Kaibeezy.
The BMW 2002 Tii market has been all over the map recently, with highly restored examples selling in excess of $30k. Perhaps children who fondly remember Mom/Dad hooning to the grocery store finally have the money to 
The Ford Fairlane was an intermediate sized coupe from Detroit, and in big-block form these beasties can be quite a deal when compared to a Mustang or other pony car from the sixties. The fifth generation with its stacked headlights is one of the best looking of the breed and was made only from 1966 to 1967. Find this 1967 Ford Fairlane 390GT for sale in Pueblo, CO currently bidding on ebay for $14,700.
Update 9/3/2013 8 PM PST: The seller of this $4,990 asking ex-SCCA I wanted to thank you for featuring my car recently. It was an awesome surprise to find out it was on there, and the way I found out was even more interesting.
From Jan. 1 2013: The Volvo 1800 series of sporty two-doors is one of DT's favorite models to feature, if you haven't noticed by now. We love the classic Italian-ish styling of the coupe and the funky vibe of the ES shooting brake equally in their own different ways. Today we've found a very presentable 1966 coupe, which looks great in its pistachio inspired rare original light green color. Being an 1800S model, build quality was improved from the earlier Jensen-built P1800 cars; by this time production had moved and the 1800 was bolted together by Sven and Stig in Sweden. This one needs a bit of attention but seems like a solid platform to build on and improve. It's advertised here on craigslist in Towson, Maryland for $8400 firm. Fix a few things, put on some comfortable driving shoes and shades, and hit the road!
The Porsche Boxster was released in 1997 to applause and adulation from the motor press corps. They were right to point out that it was the first new car from Porsche in many years and Harm Lagaay's design work was phenomenal. Finally the car was (still is) a blast to drive and nothing beats sound sound of its mid mounted flat six when the top is down. Find this 1999 Porsche Boxster for sale in Newbury Park, CA for $13,500 via craigslist.
The final Loony Labor Day feature for this year comes out on Labor Tuesday...is that a real thing..? Nope, just made it up. However, there is precedent because the first Labor Day was celebrated on a Tuesday in 1882 - actually the work of a NYC Labor Union flexing its muscles and "sticking it to the man." Similar celebrations occur all over the world but in the form of pre-summer "May Day" celebrations, but the "Man" was anxious to not allow this sort of nonsense to blossom into full scale riots, so he usurped the holiday and created a national "Labor Day" holiday. You can read a dry rendition written by the "Man" himself on the Department of Labor website, but you've probably got better things to do...like read about the pair of Buick and Pontiac Donks for sale in the SF Bay Area via craigslist. Tip from Kaibeezy.
It has been a long Labor Day. Too much food, drinks, family and loony cars all over the normally sane pages of Daily Turismo. This next feature needs no long and meandering soliloquy/introduction other than to state this is possibly the third most dangerous thing to come from Japan, the first is the actual Godzilla and the second is radioactive seawater. Find this 1980 Subaru Brat "Brazilla" Monster truck for sale in Spokane, WA for sale for an undisclosed amount of money or trade for random junk. Tip from Oldsmobuick.
There was a time when Cadillac built high end luxury cars that were built to give the best driving experience to their owners in their day-to-day lives, and not set lap times on the Nürburgring. Sometime between the golden era and today Cadillac stopped offering the latest and best luxury features and started offering cars that were just good enough for their elderly buyers and recently have been focused on chasing German cars and their lap times. In the meantime companies like Tesla figured out how to build exclusive and exciting cars and Cadillac only soldiers on with something that people in Nebraska (no offense to any Cornhusker readers) and Nürburg would find exciting, but they lost the Hollywood glamour along the way. Thankfully on the used car market, a nasty little devil called depreciation levels the playing field and a used Cadillac from the front-drive-era can be a surprising treat for a pittance. Find this 2001 Cadillac Seville SLS for sale in Hollywood, FL currently bidding for $3,550 with one day to go.
Welcome back to our annual tradition of featuring the craziest cars for sale on the web, in what we like to call Loony Labor Day. Sometimes the cars will be insane, other times the sellers, and maybe even the buyers. Today's first feature started out as a pre-war fire truck that likely resembled this example, but is now a speed bump scraping, zero overhang rat rod, surely the product of pills or some genetic disorder. Find this 1946 Seagrave Rat Rod with GMC V12 power, currently bidding on ebay for $4,959 reserve-not-met with 4 days to go.
The Pontiac Fiero was a 2-seat economy sports car built from 1984 to 1988. Early cars used a Chevy Citation rear end and puny 4-cylinder engines (the indestructible, but low powered iron duke) - generating due scorn for pathetic handling and performance characteristics. However, the later cars received a much improved tri-link rear suspension (not designed by Lotus no matter what the many Fiero forum fan boys say) plus V6 power, and today's feature takes that formula up a notch. Find this 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT with 4.9 liter Cadillac V8 power for sale in Cypress, TX for $7,000 via craigslist.
The Alfa Romeo Spider is forever ensconced in common memory as Dustin Hoffman's ride from the graduate...no not Anne Bancroft, his other ride, the...errr...topless one. Regardless, you don't need drive across the Bay Bridge in the wrong direction to enjoy the simplicity of open top classic like the Alfa Spider. Find this 1973 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce for $7,400 from its original owner in Camarillo, CA via craigslist.
The Oldsmobile Aurora was released in 1995 as a last ditch attempt to save the brand and prove that it could build cars there were "not your father's Oldsmobile." In fact, Oldsmobile was so intent on separating the Aurora from the tarnished Oldsmobile image that it didn't include any Olds badges on the exterior of the Aurora. Unfortunately, releasing the Aurora was like putting sunscreen on a stage IV melanoma, or (more in-line with Old's driver demographics), like breaking out the paddles on a 92 year old in V-fib. The DNR signs had long been painted on the doors at Oldsmobile's Lake Orion facility, but that didn't stop them from building over 200,000 of the front drive luxury sedans from 1995-2003. Find this 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with 4.6 liter Cadillac Northstar V8 swap for sale in Rexburg, ID for $2,500 via craigslist.
