Trojapanese Horse: 1990 Toyota Sera

According to the account in book two of Virgil's Aeneid, the Greeks built a large horse out of wood and covered with fur that contained soldiers who were now free to pop open a hidden door and invade the city of Troy -- why this is called a Trojan Horse instead of a Greek Horse is beyond my understanding -- but the Japanese built a Trojan car of their own in the late 80s/early 90s.  It was called the Sera and it totally blends into the automotive econo-bland-space until you pop open those gull wing doors and reveal its true nature.  Find this 1990 Toyota Sera offered for $6,900 in Oceanside, NY via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

Best of the Worst: 1987 Maserati Biturbo SI


When is a Maserati Biturbo worth $17,500?  The answer is: for about 10 minutes in 1988 as it plummeted from its $26,874 original MSRP.  Could this viciously maligned model ever gain a foothold in the insane collector car market?  Stranger things have happened.

Solid Gold: 1982 Mazda RX-7


The first generation RX-7 (SA/FB) was built in Japan from 1978 through 1985 and someday the surviving cars will be valuable because it fits all the criteria for a collectible classic -- 2 doors, appropriately fast, fun to drive, decent aftermarket support, lots of enthusiasts -- however, I think it is still too soon for the SA/FB to demand significant money...but am I wrong?  Find this 1982 Mazda RX-7 here on eBay offered for $10,000 buy-it-now or make-offer.  Tip from Greg.

Clutch Player: 2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 6-Speed W203

If you want to drive around in a late model Mercedes-Benz sport sedan, you might think your only option is something with a supercharger and an AMG badge on the trunk -- but none of the recent AMG badged cars come with a manual gearbox.  What do you do?  What if I told you that you could have your sporty-ish Benz and a clutch too?  Find this 2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 6-Speed offered for $7,250 in Burbank, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Alex V.


Ford 2.3 Turbo Power: 1973 Volkswagen Buggy


We might not all agree when debating the paradox of George Washington's axe as it applies to a Volkswagen Beetle that that has had every single original component replaced with new stuff -- but I think we can all agree that hooning around in some loose gravel is way more fun than chopping wood or debating ancient Greek philosophy.  Find this 1973 Volkswagen Buggy with Ford 2.3 power offered for $5,000 in Kansas City, KS via craigslist.

Rotary Powered Snowmobile: 1972 Arctic Cat Panther 303


First, it was the rotary powered bikes.  Those were strange.   I'm not a 2-wheel guy, but the Hercules W-2000 was a make/model I'd never heard about and the RE-5 was only something I was vaguely aware of -- so imagine my surprise when a link to a rotary powered snowmobile lands in my lap.  Find this 1972 Arctic Cat Panther 303 here on eBay with starting bid of $299 and $700 buy-it-now located in Perry Hall, MD.  Tip from Hugh.
