If you read DT's tag line at the top of the page it says: "The Internet's best fun cars, cheap daily drivers, vintage classics and custom junk, on the road for less than $20k." Ignoring grammar and punctuation, it is a pretty powerful statement, but today I want to aim the spotlight on "custom junk." Yeah. Find this 1950 Studebaker Starlight Coupe offered for $5,000 in Cocoa, FL via craigslist. Tip from JPB.
The Meyers Manx was the original dune buggy for the masses, but the roofless/doorless/windowless setup isn't for everyone, so Bruce Meyers designed the SR2 version and this one was built by Karma Coachworks out of Westminster, CA. Find this 1973 Meyers Manx SR2 offered for $10,000 as a roller or $15,000 with dual port engine in Pasadena, TX via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
Do not attempt to adjust your monitor -- the images you are seeing are indeed true to life, but might be shocking to some viewers. Long before the Scion xB or Nissan Cube were introduced, there was a little car builder in Italy that figured out that a scooter powered car in France would sell like hot cakes. Find this 1980 Willam Fourgonnette here on eBay bidding for $1738 reserve-not-met located in Antibes, France with 4 days to go.
Welcome to Roadkill, a long lost DT feature where we post cars for sale seen on the side of the road by readers and staff. I'm not sure why you would go Old Skool when you are selling a car, maybe you are tired of the infamous Craigslist Flake. Anyway, here's some fresh Roadkill I saw on the way into work this morning. Find this 1992 Ford Mustang LX for sale on NE 190th Street and 103rd Ave. NE in Bothell, WA for $2,100 via For Sale sign in window. 
The early 1980's were a particularly dark time for performance cars. Chrysler CEO Lee Iaccoca's product line got a kick in the ass after signing legendary car builder Carroll Shelby to work his magic. Shelby turbo charged every K-car he could get his hands on. The party ended in 1989 with the Shadow based CSX model. Today's car was home built by a engineer as a Shelby concept/tribute car to exceed the specs called for on the 89 CSX. Find this 1991 Dodge Shadow Convertible for sale in Harrison Township, MI for $9,126 via craigslist. 
I'm no Nostradamus, but if you want a classic BMW in which to shove your hard earned cash, stay away from the over hyped M cars like the E30 and head over to the shark tank. Find this 1985 BMW 635CSi offered for $7,500 in Nevada City, CA via craigslist.
Welcome back to our Monday morning game of water ballon toss-- also known 'round these parts as What Am I? Today, you get to figure out what this is.
The motor scooter is the Rodney Dangerfield of the 2-wheel world -- it gets zero respect, but it is a useful and cheap way to get around. The street legal ATV is the modern equivalent of the 4-wheel motor scooter, but back in post war USA, two Ohio based entrepreneurs built something called the King Midget that was awesome. Find this 1967 King Midget offered $6,500 in Kent, WA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The W124 generation Mercedes-Benz was released in 1984 as a replacement for the W123 model that was getting old. The W124 lasted until it was replaced by the googly-eyed W210 -- but if you ask me, the square styling of the W124 has aged much better. Find this 1995 Mercedes-Benz E300 diesel offered for $4,100 near Roseville, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The second generation of the Saab 9-3 was produced starting in 2002 and somehow survived the 2008 carpocalypse and made it all the way through 2012 before it was sort-of resuscitated with Chinese and Indian backers for 2013-2014...but that is a story for another time. Find this 2010 Saab 9-3 Aero AWD offered for $13,000 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist.
The 5th (and final) generation El Camino was launched in 1978 on a platform shared with the Chevy Malibu, but technically on its own unique El Camino chassis. The base engine was a V6 (for the first time -- previous versions used inline-6 or V8 power) and the styling was sharp and trim...a big improvement from the monster it had become by the end of the 4th generation. Find this 1978 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista offered for $2,800 in Port Charlotte, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.
The Eagle Talon was part of the big three from Diamond Star Motors -- the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser. Why Dodge decided to saddle the little sporty compacts with the Eagle and Plymouth labels is a mystery that will never been solved, but they are undeniably interesting and impossible to find stock. Find this 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD offered for $2,850 near Boise, ID via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
Happy Friday -- time for another Coffee Brake and today I'd like to open the discussion to the readers with a simple question. What are you doing this weekend in the garage?
Find these 1949 Chevrolet COE Pickups here on eBay bidding for $24,111 reserve-not-met with 3 days to go, located in Pine Knot, KY.
The engineering force behind the development of the Corvair was none other than Ed Cole -- the son of a dairy farmer who spearheaded the development of the original Chevy small block V8 and added to the performance cred of the Corvette. But it was his work on the Corvair that put him on the cover of the Oct 5, 1959 edition of Time magazine. Find this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Turbo Convertible offered for $3,800 near Boise, ID via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
Find this 1975 Honda Civic Jolly Clone here on eBay offered for $5,000 buy-it-now or make-offer located in Oklahoma City, OK.
It is Thursday, so DT's quasi-weekly nausea inducing quiz, the twursday thister...no...that's not right...oh yeah, the Thursday Twister. Today's topic is personal...what was the car that you learned to drive in?
Words and tip from Jeff G. Remember that scene in the flick Minority Report, when one of the pre-cogs looks at the Tom Cruise character and screams, "RUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!!"...!!?? That is exactly what one should do if ever considering buying this car. There are so many red flags here it makes the National Day ceremony in China look like a couple drunk guys waving beach towels they stole Wal-Mart... but hell, it's a Ferrari for $13,950 so why not.
America. The United States. These United States. Land of the free. Home of the brave. I don't know what else to say, except that no other country in the world would inspire someone to build a mid engine V8 powered '54 Hudson, much less permit him to drive it on public roads. Try that in Switzerland. Find this 1954 Hudson Custom offered for $16,000 in Sylvania (home of the world's largest factory for grey light bulbs) via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
