Aced out: 1967 Hodaka Ace 90

Needs More V8: 1948 Belly Tank Racer Lakester

Back in the early days of Bonneville Salt Flat racing, guys like Alex Xydias of So Cal Speed Shop took surplus WWII airplane external fuel tanks and turned them into low flying coffins.  The Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) even created a special class for the customs (called Lakester) and out on the dry desert floor in the late 1940s, guys ran almost 200 mph with flathead V8s without the aid of forced induction. It was one of the coolest times to be Southern Cali speed freak, and you can relive it with this next feature.  Find this 1948 Belly Tank Racer here on eBay bidding for $4,450 with a few hours to go, located in Key West, FL.

Monster Truckin: 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Custom

Marty McFly may have driven Doc Brown's DeLorean into the past (and then back to the future), but if you watched the film carefully, you will remember that he lusted after a Toyota 4X4 pickup, which Biff was nice enough to wax for him in the end.  Perhaps if Marty had built the original time machine it would look a little bit more like this thing.  Find this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Custom here on eBay with starting bid of $9,999 located in Hickory Flat, MI with 2 days to go.  Tip from Patrick.

Fox Based: 1983 Mercury Capri RS 5.0

The Mercury Capri was sold in three distinct generations which are commonly known as the German Capri (1970-1977), Mustang Capri (1979-1986) and finally the Crapi (1991-1994).  Obviously the German Capri is the coolest of the breed, but for day-to-day driving, I think the Fox Mustang based Capri is going to be the easy winner.  Find this 1983 Mercury Capri RS 5.0 offered for $10,000 in Dublin, CA via craigslist.
